    Did I miss something? Usyk can't beat any true hvw with skills, lmao. He is not built like that. FFS why is he being overrated, lmao!!!??? You see something in him at hvw? I don't.

    What matters most, is the reach-height Joshua & Wilder will have over Usyk, big Heavyweights are masters at using their size-weight vs smaller guys, an up-hill battle for Usyk

    Charr vs Usyk for the WBA regular belt, is actually a good fight to find out if Usyk is effective at Heavyweight.

    Ever get the feeling a lot of these posters have not seen what Usyk did to Joe Joyce?

    I guess their idea is to be the "next Chris Byrd" type of a heavy-weighter...
    I don't approve it either. Unless he's physically unable to make weight, that is.

    The path is 2 fights at HW in the back end of 2018 and early 2019 following the super 6.

    Both of those fights should be against ranked fighters in the IBF/WBA top 15

    Then a fight with AJ in the late summer/autumn of 2019.

    AJ is a twice a year fighter, so Usyk will only be able to face him in his second fight of 2019.

    Wilder hasnt beaten AJs jock strap yet in a pro fight, lets see what he does when he steps up to top 10 level first.

    Its size not skills his lacking though. He's another level skill set compared to any heavy, I just don't know where he gets the power to trouble true big guys from !

    actually Joshua is looking alot trimmer in his recent training videos, would be interesting to see his current weight.

    lol, I was gonna mention this fight. Hes got that style where you think that's it and then he catches you again when your not expecting it, bit like Loma in some ways. Must be a ****er to fight, and demoralising !

    He has already ducked Simmo. He needs to right this.

    Usyk needs to fight with tall guys, Povetkin is not suitable for him, and often in the cruiserweight Usyk had advantages in size, and he must "feel" on himself when the opponent is higher than him and has a more reach
