Do you think Usyk has more power than Dustin Nichols? I don’t believe you need immense power to buzz Wilder and a boxer who’s got good footwork and hand-speed will connect at some point. The question then is do they have the composure, skills and stamina to pour it on and get him out of there! Question marks over whether Usyk could survive long enough to make his greater skills count but he’s a solid tactician so I couldn’t rule that out!
WHO has Wilder fought as skilled as Usyk?? Lol Nobody. And the one guy who even comes close collects social security checks and was out boxing Wilder before the effects of forgetting his Centrum Silver kicked in after the 8th. I can’t wait until Oleksandr moves up. This will be one of the threads bumped after Wilder gets the **** boxed out of him. That’s IF he’s still around after getting KTFO by Joshua.
Thing is, Wilder doesn’t have the skills Briedis does to catch Usyk as much. And MB can crack himself and didn’t hurt Usyk.
If it’s Hunter Usyk, he definitely gets KTFO. This really isn’t rocket science. It’s not like Usyk has this PBF, Loma ring IQ. The guy is a volume puncher who doesn’t sit on his punches. He doesn’t even counter that well.
true his skills are better then wilders... as I said usyk would cruise to a ud points win easily.. wilders only shot is his right hand. 12 rounds is along time to land one.
Usyk is a good southpaw fighter...and deserves a shot at the title. Problem is, Wilder will improve over his showing against Ortiz in dealing with southpaws.
Depends on the weight Usyk comes in at. If he comes in at the really lowest heavyweight level and is lighter than Wilder, then he wins the fight because Wilder can't deal with moving targets and can't box. If Usyk tries to respect Wilder's power more and comes in heavy, he gets beat, because he gives up that movement in exchange for a strong, stable defense with a high guard. That's no good against wilder though, if you stand in front of wilder and you're slow, he dominates you. Therefore, it'll be interesting to see what route Usyk takes. Let's not forget, against Usyk, Wilder has no power that he needs to respect, cause Usyk doesn't have Ortiz' power. Wilder will come forward more and that could cause more problems for Usyk, similar to how Wilder has fought against people previous to Ortiz.
