    1) That'll be Usyk's best ever career performance, You watch.

    That reminded me of Loma/Walters. Just a one-sided, classy performance.

    2) Huck should retire. He's the oldest 32 year old I've ever seen.

    His skills have never been the greatest, but he's declining hard. And he's of the old guard now. He'll be fodder soon.

    3) It looked like a modern fighter vs a fighter from the 1930's in there! Lol. Marco has an old, rugged style.

    4) Usyk could dominate HW, no question about it. He'd outsmart all of them. Povetkin would probably beat him if he's on his best day. But Wilder, AJ, Parker? They've got nothing for Usyk.

    The rise of the Eastern European fighters is finally here in full swing and boy will boxing benefit from it.

    Usyk will only get better with the experience he's going to gain from winning this tournament. He's got GREAT endurance too. The Turds just writing him off at heavyweight are in for a rude awakening in a couple years.

    Everything is agreeable except for the notion that he will dominate HW. No way.

    He could unify this time next year.

    Who is his competition? Tony Bellew? David Haye? AJ? Wilder? Usyk would own the lot of them.

    hes good very good but saying he would dominate Hw is abit much... he will be 32 or 33 by the time he gets to hw... he might win a belt but I don't think he dominates.

    Gassy will meet Usyk in the final i reckon. He'll have to bite down and apply serious pressure if he wants to win and im not sure if he's capable . I like his style better and am rooting for him but Usyk is more than likely taking this trophy home

    Yeah he's a little feather fisted and in theory he could get walked down at HW, but ask yourself; who in the division has good enough footwork to cut the ring off, pin Usyk in a corner and make their power advantage count? There's really not that much talent north of 200.

    Agreed. It's STACKED and loaded with terrific fighters.

    Now we have The Russian Hammer getting ready to detonate a hydrogen bomb on Dorticos later in the month. That will be a highlight reel. Watch :D

    the resumes of the so called greats of CW arent deep at all at 200lbs. Uysk will have the best resume of all.

    The least successful transition is from cruiserweight to heavyweight. By far and for good reason.

    Usyk- 6'3", 78"
    Joshua- 6'6", 82"
    Wilder- 6'7", 83"
    Ortiz- 6'4", 84"

    Let alone mass. The size and strength will be way too much. He will never dominate HW. Compete and do well? Sure. Dominate top guys and stay on top? Hell no. He has very small height and reach advantages over Povetkin, a small measured HW, and I would pick Povetkin to light him up.

    32 or 33, that's prime hw age. He beats guys like Parker, Povetkin and such but not Joshua. He could beat Wilder if he fights smart.
