Usyk at HW is a PIPE DREAM

Success at the higher weights is far more difficult than below 154.

You've got guys who fight at 140 weighing 165 on fight night, guys at 130 weighing 151.

Measuring success from 160+ is much more difficult to ascertain.

If Usyk wins a CW title, and goes on to be a HW title challenger, I would say he had succeeded at HW.

It's not like the typical 5'9 155lber who can fight for no less than 25 versions of legitimate titles from 130-154.

A 220lb fighter like Usyk has 10 opportunities.
A 160lber like Broner has 30. :-(

 

I think he's just too small to be successful heavyweight , altough his boxing skills is 10x of any heavyweight now and he already proved it by making clown out of medzhidov who beat Joshua and by beating Nistor who also beat Joshua.

 

Today, you can't be a dominant heavyweight at 6'3''. You simply can't. Usyk should focus on becoming a good cruiserweight, because there's no place for him in the (super) heavyweights division.

 

Usyk beat plenty prominent super-heavyweight prospects in the amateurs. Meaning he proved himself against the future guys that are on the horizon. Including the guy that flattened Joshua. And the guy that decisioned Joshua while beating him up and staggering him.

Why is it so hard for some people to believe that you don't need to be a lumbering oaf throwing 5 punches a round to be successful in the current heavies? Usyks skill, mobility, chin and workrate is enough to guarantee him a spot at the top of the division. He'll be what Holyfield was in the 90s.

 

Going by his amateur stuff, he could but I'm not sold on it either.

 

He still hasn't been tested at CW. Too early to talk HW.

 

The thing I'm not fond of in regards to Usyk is that he doesn't seem to sit properly on his punches majority of the time.

 

Hahha lol , you either blind or mentally inferior.

 

i think usyk and loma both lack power

 

Wilder doesn't have a good chin, some glancing shots from Stiverne don't prove it.
