    Oleksander Usyk is the future HW king in boxing. I'd pick him over Joshua right now with ease. Just look how Usyk outboxed Joshuas countryman Joe Joyce in the amateurs. Usyk is the real deal!

    Usyk is too small. Just look at pic of him standing next to Vitali. No one beats Joshua right now.

    Joshua is going to struggle with a tough, fast skillful mover.

    Don't let James Smith see this

    Even though there is a considerable size difference, AJ looks so stiff to me that i think if Usyk gives himself time to get used to the weight once hes up there, his movement could cause AJ some real problems.

    Why does Usyk waste so much time at cruiserweight getting pummeled for a few measly rubles when he can easily toppled any of the current heavyweight champs and make millions?

    Based on your screen name I can tell you don't know anything about boxing. In any case there is no height class in boxing. There are weight classes though. Could Usyk beat Joshua? Who knows since Joshau has yet to fight anybody worth mentioning.

    Your obsession with Joshua is boring now.

    usyk would give him a run for his money no doubt. but I want to see usyk vs bredis and gassiev at cruiserweight before he moves up :p. or if all 3 of usyk bredis and gassiev moved up to heavyweight that would be interesting.

    Disagree. We have once a week a Skype session with renowed users and some boxing personalities where we discuss boxing and my opinion is often valued, as well as my skill in actual fighting.
    Furthermore, my username stands for "Good Guy Greg", a famous meme that was popular back in the days when we had a lounge.

    Size matters in boxing. A good tall fighter most likely has the advantage over a good shorter fighter. We talk about elite level.

    You know weight matters not height right? Also there is limitations to height. If it wasn't why don't you see tons of 7'0 boxers?

    I would say the perfect height for a heavyweight is 6'3 to 6'6. I agree that a guy of the height I name should be able to be a sub 6'0 tall guy. But once you get a certain height it doesn't help you. That is why Wlad lost to 3 guys who were all 6'3 or less.

    Usyk is an exciting prospect but cw is a bullsh it division. Basically for guys who don't have the nuts to go hw. 10 fights in wbo champ, that's a bs division.

    Cruiserweight has more nuts than all the marquee divisions combined.
