Usyk is ready for the big time except...

I don't agree. I don't think he is a good heavyweight. Chisora throws wide looping punches that he could evade pretty easily for the most part.
I think he loses to Parker, Ruiz, Rivas, & of course Fury, AJ.
They will all go straight at him throwing much straighter punches in bunches and some of them will catch him.
When Holyfield went up to heavyweight he met his opponents head-on, not this running around the ring nonsense we are seeing from Usyk

 

Yeah man, I'm not saying he is rubbish & I know some people will get all fired up over this. But I just don't think he is a top 10 heavyweight. Haye banged out a much younger Chisora pretty easily. Some of the comments on here that he is going to take over the division, that he could beat Ali, are just ridiculous when you look at his two fights in the heavyweight division so far.

 

He needs to get his title shot soon.
Boxed nicely tonight, shook off some rust, had to adjust to Chisoras tactics and put in a solid performance.

 

The only difference between what Haye did and Uysk did was a bell got in the way. Chisora was gone for all money at the bell.

Don't often see Chisora flopping and bopping like that..

I saying this yes Usyk will need some more levels when fighting the top guys..

Oh and FU David Haye getting me thinking Chisora had a shot..

 

Yeah, his clinches and inside fighting are pretty poor compared to the rest of his game. He lets himself get manhandled too easily on the inside, and dips down too much. Against Fury he'd get mauled and leant on mercilessly. He needs to improve his strength work in pivoting fighters off him when they close distance. That'd complement the rest of his game nicely.

 

Is Povetkin not a top ten HW? Did Povetkin not recently fight a disputed draw against Hunter? Did Hunter not get totally outclassed by Usyk?

 

Think people Are clutching at straws big time with Usyk, it’s Joshua and Fury and nobody else.

 

Totally, what’s worrying is people are calling that a good performance, truth is it was underwhelming and he looked pretty uncomfortable early on. I like usyk but It’s like come on guys let’s just tell it like it is.

 

“AJ sucks on the inside.” Ehm tell that to Povetkin, Wlad, Whyte and Breazeale who he seemed to hurt and stop from inside punches. He even dropped granite chin Ruiz with an inside combo. Start putting respect on AJ’s name.

 

first thing i thought. haye beat him 8 years ago. 8 years. chisora was 28 and in his physical prime.

 

My only reply is that fans of boxers often underestimate Chisora for some reason. I've never seen him in a boring fight of his own doing and he is a great contender of this era which he proved tonight that Usyk aint that guy yet. Wilder ducked him and so did AJ because of this reason. Always game.

 

I would pick even old povetkin to brutally ko your boy.
