Usyk would give big time hell to Anthony Joshua

USYK will get more pro experience at cruiserweight, then go up to heavyweight. He is very good boxer and I could see him out boxing Joshua, he is much faster, can punch hard, gives angles, moves well, and earned his medal in the Olympics.

 

Joshua there is too much of a size difference, at some point size and power negates skill.

 

However Usyk could make a splash at HW, Usyk vs Ortiz and Usyk vs Parker are great fights and both guys are closer to his size, he could potentially beat them depending on how well he takes their power.

 

There isn't any of those in the division. Maybe Ortiz and Fury were the closest thing but it seems Ortiz's ship has sailed and Fury has now taken the form of a beach whale.

 

What?
-The only division where fighters face the best.
-They are afraid to move up?, between and the heavyweight champions there's more different than between the lightweights and the middleweights.

 

GG's right. Size matters, weight first, height second. There are weight classes which act as indirect height classes, since you can only be so tall and have adequate weight for such a body. And 6'3-6'6 isn't the ideal height. The ideal height is as tall as you effing can be while being proportionately heavy and not giving up too much athleticism etc. The reason there aren't more 7 footers is because there's not a big enough talent pool of 7 footers to yield someone with the right combo of assets ( and who finds their way into the sport.) That said, as the talent pool has increased over the years with the worlds expanding population and interconnectivity, there have been more and more, taller and taller fighters. 6'3 has become too short. Wlad lost to two fighters who were 6'3 and under ( and two who were 6'4 and over), but none of those shorter fighters had remotely the overall career he did(and all probably had more power and natural weight than Usyk). At the end of the day, every dominant HW champ has been taller and heavier than there peers or harder hitting, usually both. Usyk would be neither. Most he could hope for is to be a poor man's Holyfield imo, getting some great wins against the right comp, but generally losing valiant efforts against SHWs.

 

The only bonafide super heavyweights we have at the moment are Joshua and Klitschko (Fury if he comes back). Wilder's just a tall, lanky heavyweight, often lighter than his opponents. Parker's an old school 90s sized heavyweight. Ortiz is a big solid unit of the Foreman/Liston variety. The other big men in the division are not really worth talking about.

Povetkin is an average sized heavy who's had tremendous success in the division and only once found his size counting against him (in one of the worst foul fests in history). Jennings is also relatively average, size-wise, and found success. There's no reason a man with Usyk's skills is going to find himself badly outgunned at heavy, especially considering he has past experience of fighting huge men and having no trouble beating the brakes off them. He has the perfect in out style to combat the relatively lumbering big men of today and the power to keep them honest. The only big man I can see troubling him is Fury, but Fury's a once in a lifetime type of fighter and potential ATG.

 

That Russian guy from Crimea. He looks very skilled, i'd like to see more footage... And a HW fight to judge his prospects at HW.

 

Can outbox who he wants, lets see what he does if Joshua lands on on him.

 

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Quite your given out to much info,im actually starting to enjoy the whole Usyk defeats all Hw's ,Joshua included this is fun! Im not even going to add anything to it.....

 

Hell no ,Anthony Joshua would knock this ugly mofo the fu** out even though he is in fact
the best at Cruiserweight at the Moment.
It seems like Usyk is the most overrated Boxer in the last 100 years, this is unbelievable,
the Guy has only 11 Fights and never fought at Heavyweight once , he didnt beat anyone
on Anthony Joshuas Level

 

Usyk looks great, but AJ has a huge weight and strength advantage. At this point I'd put my money on AJ, even though Usyk is clearly more skilled.

 

Correct, Usyk have yet to make me impressed, he's boring to me, Joshua is definitely not boring!

 

Well Vitali is 6'7 1/2 " tall!

Usyk is 6'3" tall with a 78" reach. Not too small, when you consider his skill set.
