    He's been hurt before, Gassiev, Aj, Fury. Fury who has far inferior power made him wobble badly from timed uppercuts. Usyk admitted this he was backing away that round thinking Fury could possibly end him. Then a temple shot that scrambles everything isn't impossible. Him being undefeated and an ATG doesn't warrant this kind of mythology we all know Usyk is one of the best ever, but saying Corrie has no chance ? Corrie and any massive puncher has a chance against any and all heavyweights in history even if it's only an unlikely punchers chance.

    Everyone gets a little wobbly, but when is the last time you have seen the man legit down?

    I think you might be considerably overestimating Sanders' power, which was real, but not what you seem to think it is...if Nate Tubbs can survive it, I am giving he benefit of the doubt to Usyk.

    No I'm not, because the information comes from Wlad himself. Rahman rated that power highly too. Saying Usyk is a massive favorite is fine I agree, but no chance ? I think that's a bit of an exaggeration.

    A lot of fighters say these kinds of things, and they may be telling the truth for their own experience. Just because Wlad got hit harder by AJ does not bean that Sanders' hardest punch was harder than AJs.

    But none of that is relevant...because AJ is not the standard of power and Usyk does not claim that AJ hit him the hardest.

    I say Usyk's chin gets the benefit of the doubt against a guy who was outgunned in all of his toughest fights but one.

    Corrie Sanders had fast hands and a great punch, so out of that southpaw stance you can never count him out completely. At the same time, in my humble opinion, Sanders' H2H ability tends to be consistently overrated.

    Usyk whitewashes him in my eyes, and probably stops him mid-to-late.

    Love Sanders. Probably KO's Wilder. I give him 40/60 odds against Joshua and Fury but I think Usyk is all wrong for him, will run circles round Sanders, possibly even KO/TKO him in the late rounds.

    Easy fight for Usyk he's fought way better and harder punchers and outboxed them thoroughly

    I don't like Sanders' chances here, Usyk would test Sanders' style right away and not let him threaten him..

    Usyk would be smart and outbox Mr Sanders for a wide UD.
