    Can Usyk outbox Povetkin?

    Yes and fairly easily I'd wager. Povetkin doesn't have some insane reach advantage to negate Usyk's superior skill level IMO.

    Yes and easily, he could end up making Sasha look buffoonish.

    USYK is one of the best Boxers in the game today! But Povetkin is no Bum, and it would be a very difficult fight for USYK to win.. Hed have to rely on every skill he has in his repertoire, but if i had to bet, I'd put my money down on a USYK victory by UD!

    Usyk should not fight Povetkin at this time..................however, they would both knock Wilder out.............

    What a nice bump! At least you can tell which people knew Usyk is the real deal back in 2016

    Usyk might but it would in no form be "easy". Povetkin is fast and accurate and I may go so far as to say he's a harder match for Usyk than some of the bigger but slower guys in the division.
