    Yes. IMO Usyk is better than Povetkin and would beat Wilder right now.

    Usyk has risky defense, he depends on his reflexes a lot, that's most likely the reason he's nicknamed "the cat", he's always gonna get caught with a few punches, that's just the way it is.

    From what i remember Venter hit him the most thus far as a pro. That guy actually impressed me he came to win, really tall at just under 6'5, and much more skilled than the 20-6 record would lead you to believe. He's a world level quality gatekeeper imo.

    Part of the reason Usyk gets hit is he has a 'fighters demeanor' and has zero problem taking risks and going into the pocket in order to land hard meaningful shots himself. Also when Usyk does get hit he immediately wants to get it back and land his own.

    His head movement is very good at close range but inevitably some do land on him. I would rather that than a fencing long range only approach (which he has the ability to do considering his speed and athleticism).

    Not sure who you were referring to aside from Hercegovac but for the record i'm Ukrainian, not Bosnian.

    Yeah. Venter is kind of in the same boat as Muller, near the front of the pack in the surprisingly deep South African domestic scene @ CW.

    I remember in the wsb he was facing a massive English guy named Joyce who cracked him hard with I think a right, and Usyk responded by smiling and hitting himself in the face before unleashing a combo. He definately has a fighter's mentality

    Yeah it is deep. I definitely think Venter is better than Mueller though at least based of the Usyk fights.

    On a related/unrelated note how the hell has video of Makabu vs Mchunu not surfaced yet? South African boxing fans are jerks.

    ...and based on h2h form, a bit above Muller, yeah.

    Venter blitzed Cox and Simba, knocked out Mwekassa (who conquered Mchunu) and defeated Bruwer. Trumps all of Muller's top victories...although Muller did knock out Danie's brother Rudy.
