    Sanders would be the fastest fighter Usyk has fought hand speed wise this wouldn't be an easy match up for Usyk.

    I expect Usyk to take over in the 2nd half of fight and win a decision or possibly a late stoppage, but the first 6 rounds Sanders would have his moments and it would be highly competitive.

    Wladimir was a stationary easy target for Corrie. Absolutely no disrespect to Corrie, he had a wicked punch. But Wladimir made it easy. Usyk would be a very very bad matchup for Corrie. Usyk's movement (head and legs/feet) and variety of angles on his punches would give Corrie a bad day at the office

    Well you could also make the argument that Usyk hasn't faced down a heavy with the speed, power and accuracy of Sanders either. Usyk isn't impossible to land on. To be clear I think Usyk takes this on chin, inside skills and grit, but he's going to get lumped up doing so. And if he does get hurt he's SOL because Sanders was a good finisher.

    Doesn't have to be, Sanders got stopped in every loss he had including against 2 journeymen. I think Usyk can land enough to break him down and Sanders terrible gas tank will leave him vulnerable to all those shots eventually, your durability greatly decreases when you are exhausted.

    Usyk isn’t unhittable, if Fury and Joshua could hit him hard a few times then Corrie would have a good chance of knocking him out.

    I get ya. No doubt if Sanders lands clean, Usyk is gna feel it. But the thing for me is he has to catch him first. Corrie's gas tank was bunk, ****. I feel Usyk would out last him and take it

    If Rahman can take Sanders best shots and win, I think Usyk can do so as well.

    That version of Sanders didn't have the best gas tank I agree. But if you take an earlier version ... he actually did, though. Sanders transitioned from a boxer that could punch to a guy that would streight up bludgeon people as he got older. I guess he figured out the faster he could knock them out the sooner he could get to the golf course.

    Well with all due respect, we are talking the Corrie that fought Wlad. And yes true, he wanted to get out on the course ASAP. RIP Corrie

    Hey even if that’s true, in those three rounds… Look the **** out!! Lol

    I’d favor Usyk by late stoppage but Corrie at his best (Wlad fight, Sprott and Cooper) he’s a very live underdog

    I'd say he would be live to make it a fun fight as he always did, but I don't call him an underdog at all. I think he would have no chance.

    Just Imo.

    No chance ? You're overrating Usyk. We are all human. Corrie would be by far the fastest counter puncher and probably the hardest puncher he's ever faced. Sanders power > Aj according to Wlad.

    Usyk is a heavy favorite but cmon

    Uysk has taken punches off of more than AJ. Joyce and Majidov in semi-pros, for example. The guy's chin is certifiably iron.
