    Usyk looks like he has a decent set of skills but let's not kid ourselves. Old man Witherspoon would've went the distance if he had a complete training camp, not 5 days notice.

    Who’s saying he was elite or top 10 or anything of the sort?

    It was a late replacement and Usyk did what he had to do.

    Weren’t you the clown who was predicting a Usyk loss? How did that work out for you?

    yeah, I have to agree with this. One victory over a mediocre HW who was, at best, a fringe contender years ago, hardly proves that this guy can hang with the big boys. The hype around Usyk at HW, at this point, is pretty absurd.

    I think he's big enough, but as you said I don't think he could engage most of the heavy's in a fight. What would happen when a good hitter goes right at him? A lot of people think he'd outbox Wilder, maybe, but I see a guy who's going to have close the distance with the most devastating heavyweight puncher since Tyson.
