    Here is the new photo of Oleksandr Usyk who is preparing for his heavyweight debut. He is standing here with Ukrainian heavyweight prospect Vlad Sirenko.

    I think Usyk weigh in at 208-210 lbs right now. Do you think he needs to bulk up more? Sirenko's arms look huge comparing to Usyk's ones.

    I never realized how big Usyk was until he fought Gassiev. They may have weighed similar but Usyk had the bigger frame easily. Gassiev looked a little tubby in comparison.

    Usyk may have smaller muscles but his muscles are the best in the world

    You can't even see Usyk's biceps, so how can you make that determination? Look at the fist size. Having said that, overall I don't think Usyk has the size to compete against the upper tier HWs. Just not big enough.

    No, he looks fine. He'd be foolish to bulk up and destroy his speed and stamina in the process.

    Usyk looks distinctly thinner/less muscled than Sirenko to me.

    However, Sirenko was apparently 245 lb for his last fight, and 245 really seems like a bit much for that height.

    Usyk looks like a serial killer.
