    In my opinion Usyk would win by decision comfortably.

    I agree, he would certainly outbox Wilder, but in case he gets clipped, he may fall aswell. On the other side, he may KO wilder aswell. As long as the fight lasts, he will be trouble for Wilder.

    If Spzilka can survive 7 rounds with Wilder and Molina 9, Usyk stops him rounds 8-10. Usyk has far superior movement to Spzilka and has far more intelligent diverse offense.

    But again Wilder always COULD land.. But i just think Usyk will know that there's only one punch he needs to worry about since everything else of Wilders is terrible.

    At this point, I think Usyk wins convincingly. I'm not sold on Wilder based on that last beating from Fury. I need to see some sign of life from him before I'd pick him against Usyk.

    Usyk version from WBSS vs Wilder? Usyk via stoppage win.
    Usyk in shape he had vs Whiterspoon ? Wilder via stoppage win.

    Now? I do not know. He does have lesser chances to beat Wilder up than Dorticos or Briedis now.

    Usyk has dealt with punchers in the past. I trust he could pressure Wilder from the first bell and wear him down before getting a late stoppage. If Usyk let his guard down and got clipped by the overhand right, it could easily be lights out for him. I lean 70/30 in favour of the Ukranian.

    Usyk by wide UD or late stoppage. Wilder doesn't have a hope in hell.

    50/50. Usyk has the mobility, handspeed, and timing to beat Wilder, but on the otherhand Usyk being a southpaw is more vulnerable to walking into a right hand than a conventional fighter, so the fight could go either way, since I see Usyk getting knockedout if Wilder lands his right hand clean.

    I think southpaws are harder for him because vs orthodox he can use his left hand to pull the opponent's guard down with better leverage and while leaving himself less open to counters.

    If Chisora could find that chin then so would Wilder

    Usyk....Unless Wilder landed a big bomb early. Deontay is known to have a heavy right hand but not known to have an incredible defense as Usyk demonstrate. Usyk is fluid, quicker , and a technician of the first water. Ole by late stoppage or UD but never write off Deontay and his puncher's chance.

    I think prime Chisora and Wilder are about the same level but the thing is if we assume wilder is far better than Chisroa there's still the case that styles make fights. Chisora was pressuring Usyk and attacking aggressively. Wilder fights nothing like that and stays at range so i don't see Wilder possessing the same problems to Usyk that Chisora did.
