^^^ This. Usyk looks very promising... at CW. He's a big CW but would be a smallish HW in this era. Getting to far ahead here.
You Klit fans are so insecure. I like Usyk. I like his movement and use of angles. Obviously the heavier division is where his future is at. I just wish these Russians would turn pro a little earlier though. Betebiev is 30 and Usyk is already 27.
I like Usyk, so I'm a bit bummed to see him getting put up as "savior of the heavyweight division" by some, wich is the ultimate kiss of death. He's fighting at Cruiser, is yet to fight a top notch fighter, and will probably never face Wladschko even.
When Usyk was asked about it, he answered something like: Guys, do you hate me so much? Did you see what he did to Pulev? At the moment Usyk is not ready to compete in heavyweight.
I watched Usyk fight super HW in WSB, he beat them pretty easy, i can tell you apart from Wlad i would not favor single HW over him!
