Usyk is absolutely stunning, incredible!

Usyk is getting hit way too much. Nobody kan take Kudryashov's power with bad defense. Kudryashov's skills are very underrated.

 

Usyk is up there with Ken Shiro and Maruta as my fave prospects

Usyk is better than Bash Ali.

 

He took one flush shot and suddenly he has a terrible defence. Yeah, no. You need to rewiev him to see how hard it is to hit him.

 

Gotta admit, he looks to good too be true

 

He'll save HW division from giant Drago's :bbb

 

Usyk is probably the most overvalued fighter on here in recent memory. I'm reading this stuff and I'm like - are we watching the same fights? What I see is Usyk using size and athleticism to overwhelm undersized pudgy nobodies. What I don't see: a great jab; great defense, especially in the pocket; one punch power that will carry against legit cruisers and heavies. Comparisons with Ali? Are you serious? Ali had a great jab. And even though Usyk does have hand speed and foot speed, it's not on the level of prime Ali, and neither are his reflexes.

 

It's not just one shot. And what you should do is imagine him in with someone his own size, with some length and athleticism. These guys he's been fighting aren't bending low because their stomachs are in the way, if you know what I mean. Knyazev, if he trained right, would be fighting at 168. And Muller, no higher than 175. When I see this fat runt with no hand speed catching Usyk with jabs and one-twos, I can see someone with length and a great jab tattooing his face, despite his southpaw stance and movement.

 

Not saying he blows, but I'm not getting excited either. How many times do we have hear about 28 year old prospects? Can any modern heavyweight do anything before they get to their 30s?

 

I cant believe you are doing a thread on a someone other than Floyd or Wilder :shock:

I am not sure how I feel about this :think

 

He's 26, and a cruiser?
