Usyk: Wilder is the easiest opponent for me, Fury is the hardest one!

This content is protected

Hrgovic agrees than Fury is hardest and Wilder/Joshua easiest.

 

Wilders fought nothing but punching bags his whole career. Hes overestimated, not underestimated. The likes of Usyk and Hrgovic make him look silly.

 

In reality Wilder is likely the hardest while Fury is the easiest. Fury is more of an issue for the plodding heavies with bad gas tanks. His lack of KO power would give a fast cruiserweight like Usyk a better chance at beating him.

Wilder is fast for a heavyweight but also comes with a huge reach advantage. You have a major problem when the much lengthier fighter can match your speed, while also packing ridiculous KO power and you don't have one punch KO power.

 

Wilder's right hand doesn't take less time to reach its target than Bellew's. It's quick once it gets going, but he needs space to step into the shot because he lacks the ability to throw it short the way Bellew did. That provides a major tell for fighters like Usyk.

Usyk doesn't need to fight the perfect fight for twelve rounds; he needs to fight a perfect few rounds till he's figured Wilder out and neutralised him and then not take any needless risks as he outworks him down the stretch.

 

Usyk's skill resides in his abilitly to figure opponents out in the course of a fight and break them down mentally and physically. A large component of that is his gastank, but an equally large component of that is his ring iq. He learns fighters' rhythms and movement patterns and begins to work in between the gaps, which is why the narrative of his fights usually includes his opponents doing well at first and gradually doing worse until they're getting completely dominated.

 

Wilder has a certain canniness about him which I've only started noticing in his past few fights, but he's still very crude and easy to manipulate because he's so focused on going for the KO. He overreacts to feints all the time and can't cope with movement, both of which cause him to flail wildly. His danger is that he never stops throwing, and maintains his power throughout the course of a fight, but this is fairly well known already.

 

It depends what you mean by skilled. Usyk doesn't have the crispness or smoothness of some of the other P4P entrants, but like I said above, he's a tremendous in-ring adapter. That's a component of skill as well.

 

I think it was more than work rate. Like Loma, he beats you with angles, movement, unusual combinations and accurate punching.

He has skills for sure. I dont seem him as a guy who just overpowers opponents.

 

Yeah cause wilder lead right is way better then bellews

 

She is a total hoe not to be trusted so I don't blame him or his wife.

 

Are you honestly saying that Bellew's right hand is comparable to Wilders? Take a step back man, you've spent too much time reading the moon-howlery of the haters.

Either that or good bait and you reeled me in.

 

lmaooo

 

wilder dropped fury in the 12th he don't get less dangerous
