Usyk might become the ATG cruiserweight or atleast one of the greatest. Usyk vs Marciano could become great fantasy fight. Who wins it?
USYK is too big and too skilled for Marciano, they didn't say he had two left feet for nothing. LOL... He'd never see 49-0 if he fought USYK.
Maricano doesnt have the footwork to be favored here. Usyk is very tall and who exactly did Marciano beat who was 6'3 and elusive? While Usyk is overatted in a few areas ,Marciano sdosnt pose the threat ,again you have to add punch trajectory here,so a 5'11 guy with 68 inches and a grinder needs to land on a moveable 6'3 guy who can punch hard enough and is a south paw. which would also require STRAIGHT right hands to get him off rhythm and without a jab how would Marciano set these punches up? Marciano could k.o him but in all likelyhood Usyk stops him late on cuts or goes 12 rnds easy by out boxing him .
What gives you the idea that someone as unproven as Usyk has the tools to beat an athlete like Marciano. Lets give him a couple more fights against top opponents before we give him that type of credit.
Marciano KOs what I've seen Usyk. Usyk is not a better boxer than the 32 year old Charles who fought Marciano. He's just two inches taller and a little heavier. Usky is possibly not even as crafty as Walcott. Look at Walcott's moves at 1:55, doesn't even look real. This content is protected
This. If Mchunu had power I'm not so sure Usyk would've won that fight. Usyk has a very good jab and good judgement in the ring. However, that said Marciano was relentless and had a great chin. Mchunu had the speed and timing to catch Usyk, but no power to do any damage. Glowacki had the power, but no combos and never set up any shots. When Marciano fought taller fighters with longer reaches than his, which was everybody he would commit to the body than midfight would start connecting with his hooks and uppercuts. Usyk might become a great fighter later in his career, but based off his performances so far gets stopped late by Marciano.
