Usyk is ready for the big time except...

Based on what reasoning exactly?

 

Enough might be even with Briedis. He did not get into proper clinch hold vs Briedis even once and still " slipped " and was down.
With proper hold he will be helpless.
He is more like pure boxer, more in - out, very highly skilled and talented, A+++ level. Now slower than he was in WBSS.

I really do not think that he now is able to defeat A.J, Fury, Briedis or Dorticos.


I think he won Chisora fight, still we shold bear in mind that all these mentioned above does move considerably faster than Chisora and are more difficult to hit them properly. Ofc, they also does have higher " output ratio " too.

Fury, Briedis = I do not see how he might be able to bear their clinch even without punch in clinch.
