    I don't see anyone getting close to Usyk. His punch output is insane. the man doesn't get tired. Putting all my money on him.

    I also think of that. As well a good move from Wladimir to comeback.
    Right now the HW become very, very interesting.

    Ruiz's success does give me a lot more hope for Usyk. I was a bit more pessimistic about his odds prior to tonight. Now I can much better imagine how he could win the biggest fights.

    However, Usyk is 32. Probably couldn't be a long, long time. Unfortunately.

    Edit: Whoops, misread his birthday, so he's a few months younger than I originally posted. It’s now correct though.

    He could rule for a period of like 4-5 years then he will start decline fast. 37 i think is the point that he will start decline real fast. Atleast Klitschko was like that, but there was other factos, as his coach passed away and so on.

    Lol are 99 percent of you people casual boxing fans? 99 percent of you people don't know what you are talking about. Most of you casual fans seem to be obsessed over certain fighters because you like them for whatever reason. Usyk has yet to beat any heavyweight yet. He has yet to fight one. What we do know about him is he barely beat a old shop warn Tony Bellew and was down on the score cared when he stopped him.

    A pressure-fighter like Ruiz would stop Usyk. This is not an unhittable boxer.

    In his last fight with Bellew , Usyk wasn't like a dominator. And I don't think Usyk can beat Fury, Wilder. Even with Joshua, Usyk will be forced to fight in an attacking manner, and in this role, Usyk is not very good.

    And also look at the fight Usyk against Briedis.

    hmmmm u think so? What about their work rates? Usyk has a much higher work rate and output. Plus he's much more mobile around the ring. watch his fight against Michael Hunter, he was moving all over the place, and his stamina and endurance was insane.... in the 12th round, he was throwing like it was the 1st round.

    Last fight I saw was against Bellew who did surprisingly well and tagged him multiple times. I had Breidis beating him.

    I think Usyk can beat some of the more static HWs, but against a HW with decent mobility and power I think he struggles.

    I think Tyson Fury can beat Usyk, they have a similar style. Totally spaced on Fury!! if he can keep himself together.

    Bellew did well, but he was KOed badly. Also most of Bellew punches was missing, but the commentators was screaming like mad on every throw shot from Bellew and it was like he land every shot he throws. If you watch the matches with no sound or with different commentators it`s a different fight.
    Usyk will RULE the HW mark my words !!!

    Yes, and his insane amounts and intensity of training are already taking their toll on Usyk’s body. He definitely will not rule the HW for a long long time simply because of that, imho.

    Well already he's taking awhile to get underway in the heavyweight division and thats due to injury. As we know, the older you get, the longer it is for injuries to come right.
