Oleksandr Usyk vs Earnie Shavers

Please, Usyk has no power for a heavyweight. And what exactly is Usky league at heavyweight?

 

I think it would be a similar fight as with Chisora, Usyk on points...

 

Nah he still got hit too much by Chisora. If Shavers clips him like that, good night Usyk.

 

Shavers is far better than Chisora

 

Shavers was far more hittable and not as accurate with his punches, plus he had a weak chin.

 

No, Chisora is more skilled, all Shavers had was power.

 

Usyk would drown Shavers. Shavers isn’t any better than Gassiev unless you’re wearing rose tinted spectacles.

 

Beat me too it. This idea that Uysk isn’t proven at heavyweight may be relevant now, but he’s already been fighting the best fighters the world has to offer from 215lbs and under.

 

Mark i am seriously worried about your lack of knowledge regarding fighters of the past.Shavers survived For 15 rounds against the goat and 12 v another atg in Holmes so he was much more than a puncher.Who has Chisora fought anybody near that standard?This along with your thoughts on Nazeem Hamed has my head in a spin

 

usyk best find his best running shoes and keep out of harm's way for dear life...
this isn't the amateur circuit and he's not in there with Breidis or a washed up Ricky Conlin.
Shavers may not be the most technical, but he lives for beating up pretty boys like Usyk.
honestly they shouldnt even sanction this fight. Usyk could avoid Shavers at all costs and stick to fighting cans like Chazz Withrrspoon and the magazine's will still show him love

 

Usyk has no power.Shavers kills him.

 

This forum has gone to the dogs. I’m done with it. Little knowledge nowadays just, ‘lol the old guy is better’. Embarrassing really.

 

@McGrain please delete my account and all of my posts (if that’s possible) I’m done with this mess.

 

Hard to determine when the book hasn't been closed on Usyk. At this point, I'll take Earnie by KO.

 

70s heavyweights are no bigger than the cruiserweights of Usyks era. Guys like Gassiev, Briedis are comparable in size to Shavers and his contemporaries. Usyk is plenty proven against guys who are heavyweights by the standard of Shavers era.
