Oleksandr Usyk vs Jack Sharkey?

Usyk unifying all 4 belts in the WBSS, beating all his tournament opponents in their own backyard... surely one of the most impressive feats in recent years.

I think Usyk is an exceptional fighter, and will take him to outpoint Sharkey.

 

For sure. Jack Sharkey was down many times. I have not researched all fights, but I can report the below:

Mahoney - Sharkey was floored five times in round 8 and once in the 9th. ( 6 times floored )

Rojas - Ko'd ( Floored 1x ) *** Actually Sharkey got up, then fell down again *** this could count as two.

Dempsey - Kod 10 count ( 1 x floored )

Carnera = Ko'd ( One punch KO 1x floored )

Levinsky - Shareky down in round 1 ( 1 x floored )

Loughran - Sharkey down in the 10th ( 1x floored )

Brubaker - Sharkey down in round 1 ( 1x floored )

Louis - Sharkey down twice in the 2nd round, and twice in the 3rd round. KO ( Sharkey down 4 times )

Comments:

I count Sharkey down 16 times, and there very well could be more. Getting stopped by Louis in your last fight doesn't count that much however a 1 punch KO at the hands of Carnera, and being floored by light hitters in Levinsky and Loughran to me indicate a weak chin.

Jack Sharkey lost 14 times, and drew 3 times. This is a high amount of losses for any heavyweight champion, off the top of my head only Walcott who had 70 fights lost more often. Jack Sharkey had 53 fights. I find Jack Sharkey's KO% to be very low at 24.53%.

I do think Sharkey had good skills on offense, but he was a very inconstant fighter. No--I have nothing against Sharkey, and do think his fight with Dempsey should be s NC.

 

Usyk without problems, Sharkey could not cope against a modern fighter...

 

At 200lbs ( cruiser ) I think he could do well. Not vs the best at heavy for sure.

 

Slaughter is a very strong word??

 

Uysk is the goods to me. One of the more impressive guys I have ever seen at Cruiserweight. Jury is still out on what he can do against these giant heavyweights of today.

 

Did you know Archie Moore was dropped about 50 times

 

Hahah i hope that you don't forget it in the future

 

Yes, I think his chin is suspect at heavyweight too. The interesting thing about Usyk is he has a battle tested chin vs heavyweights as an amateur.
