Usyk is delusional if he thinks he can take Joshua.

Respectfully disagree my friend.

Holyfield got a split decision agaisnt Qawi.

Haye was knocked out by a super-middle journeyman, and struggled against Mormeck.

And hell, let's not forget that Briedis is a guy who statched the current WBA "regular" heavyweight champ.

The talent is all at cruiser right now, and either one of these guys would make a run for a heavyweight belt.

 

I seem to remember Holyfield in an out war with Dwight Muhammed Qawi fight I . He landed 562 f'n punches on Holyfield by the way. And the dude was way undersized for Cruiserwight.

I'm just saying just based on that, these idiots woulda been saying the same thing about Evander Holyfield moving up to Heavyweight.

 

I saw Usyk beat the hell out of 6 foot 6 inch Joyce, who not only was much taller, but much heavier than Usyk!!! Usyk learned a lot tonight, I thought it was 116 - 112.............Usyk!!!

 

Yes. And chocolatito is faster than joshua too, so he's going to embarras joshua too?

Size matters, dude, A LOT. Usyk cant do **** vs joshua, or wilder, or any other 2m tall 2903820349 tons superheavyweights.

 

Limited plodding 6'1" heavyweight midget Carlos Takam took everything from Joshua and made Joshua tire badly in the latter rounds.

Iron chinned, larger Usyk is a boxing genius and would run rings around Joshua. Joshua would be heavy favourite but he would be comprehensively outboxed, bamboozled and quite simply baffled by Usyk's combination punching and head movement. If Usyk can take the punches, he would make the big bodybuilder tire and beat him by late stoppage.

He would absolutely destroy Wilder though.

 

I’m not impressed by Usyk at all, he have zero power at CW, how is he going to win anything significant at HW?!

 

He’s got a chance. Usyk didn’t move and circle much last night but he can.

Can Joshua counter as well and how is he later round stamina? In addition Usyk has a very good chin.

A path for a points victory as Joshua had fits with mobile fighters and gasses a little in the later rounds is not out of the question.

 

It does make you wonder how he'll cope with a bigger puncher like Joshua as he was far too easy to hit in this fight. But then again look at Evander, chin of iron, if Usyk has a Holyfield like chin and Usyk can bring that work rate he showed last night in against Joshua who we know can gas then would it be that out of the box to think Joshua struggles to keep Usyk off him and gasses and gets overwhelmed?

Though I suspect Usyk would use more movement against Joshua than Briedis. Usyk didn't fight as I expected last night he didn't seem to respect Briedis' power and was willing to take risks and stand in front of Briedis.

But having said that I'd still favour Joshua over Usyk. No guarantee Usyk can take what Joshua can dish out, but we need to see Usyk at heavyweight, taking heavyweight power before we totally rule out his chances.

 

lol you will be proven wrong

 

He is very fast on his feet, yes he isn't a puncher but still has a good hand speed so I think that in HW he will be at least as good as Chris Byrd.

 

Hehe! Usyk just beat a guy who brutally knocked out one of the org heavy weight champs a few monthos ago.Do I think that Usyk beat Joshua? No , I dont think so. Is Usyk able to beat the likes of Wilder,Parker,Povetkin,and so on?? Absolutely!
A CW who doesnt destroy his opposition is delusional if........................ . Ridiculous statment! In yesterday's fight Usyk beat the nr.2 at cruiser weight.Bridies is a dangerous and powerful pouncher who probably knocks out most the top 20 heavy weights if they met inside a ring.
Bridies was not a janitor type of opponent,the kind of opponent a paper champ like Wilder regularly beats up.Pah! Cruiser weight is stacked,and to be the second best at cruiser weight and being able to take his best shots makes him a legitimate force against any heavy in a poor big boys' league IMO.

 

Rofl, wilder would kill briedis, dude.

And after killing him, you would tell us that it was a cherrypick.

Most of you are talking nonsense in this thread.

 

Wilder, the guy who Romanov wiped the floor with before he stopped him??
Wilder,the guy,who hasnt fought a single decent name in his entire career. Who has been his best scalp so far???? What do you think?? Duhaupas? Or Audley Harrison??? Haha!
Wilder is an american hype job who has never fought outside his little hamlet in the states,let alone abroad.Hell, he even looked poor against that Polish hooligan before he finally stopped him.

So who the hell is talking nonsense in this thread!

 

If Usyk utlizies his footowork and movement which he not at all did against Briedis, then he will decision Joshua. Joshua´s stamina is horrendous and Usyk comes strong later on, and he has a pretty solid chin with great stamina.
