    Breidis beat a bum heavyweight and Usyk has no power. They probably can't beat any of those guys except Joshua's stiff ass.

    I think Usyk would be a top 5ish HW no doubt and I think very
    highly of him at CW. I don't think he beats Joshua, Parker, Ortiz
    or even Wilder (shockingly) at this point. I think he beats Povetkin
    and the lower level top HWs.

    Most CW champs (damn near all of them), are great at CW and even become
    top ranked HW contenders but the history is they all fall short, save for a
    select few. There's a reason why. All CWs that became HW champs (that I can recall) had something
    about them that was otherworldly (power, speed, pure athleticism).
    He has the skillset but...........something else is missing.

    Well both Usyk and Briedis would easily beat Dillian Whyte who has ZERO boxing skills and average power/speed.

    True, some of the geniuses who now wonder if Usyk is big enough to compete vs. Elite SHWs readily argue 1930s Louis would easily handle today's SHWs :lol:

    HW division is garbage. It's the era of giants who took up the sport late after transitioning from other sports and the only one of them that can actually fight a bit is AJ.

    The only true warrior is Tyson Fury. I believe Tyson Fury is probably the best fighter in the world. I wouldn't back any man to beat him in the ring or outside. He has the size, the speed, the gypsy Slickness, and experience bare knuckle boxing and street fighting since he was 13. I would love to see him fight one of the UFC Heavyweight champs, he would kill them.

    The difference is they fought eachother, you know the top two in the division fighting eachother?

    If they followed Wilder's path they woulda fought 38 bums first...

    Somewhat funny seeing people suddenly over rate Breidis because of generous judges. Breidis would get seriously ****ed up at heavyweight. Usyk would do better, but would still have issues with his porous defence.

    This. The hype Briedis is getting is unreal. He beat a shot Huck and Perez, who was a complete scrub at heavyweight. Also, Usyk's lack of power would get him destroyed against the top heavyweights.

    These guys are in their 30's already and guys are saying that Breidis and Usyk can do damage at hvw, lmao. Usyk I commend because he's actually going to guys backyards and beating them. But he's being ferociously overrated without having fought the winner of Gassiev and Dorticos. Breidis imo has no skills.
