    Good video, although I do think he can beat the top dogs. Which I did a whole thread on myself, so no need to belabor the point.

    Size wise.... he'll fill out just fine.

    you have a great morning too Rummy.

    I believe he does have a good chance going by how much technically superior he is to the current crop.
    Will he reign for long if he makes it? Probably not, because the getting away with HGH days seem to be over.

    Thanks, and you may very well be correct. I won't count him out against ANYONE at this time, but if his next bout was against AJ, Wilder, or Fury - I would personally be very inclined to pick against him (unless the loser of Wilder-Fury looked terrible, and he wound up landing that fight).

    But I am totally interested in seeing Usyk campaign as a heavyweight, and I've been proven wrong enough times, that I certainly would NOT be surprised if someone as talented as Usyk proves me wrong yet again.

    :thumbsup:

    Totally disagree.

    IF he MOVED UP tomorrow and faced WILDER he would dance around him and make him look like a stiff DOSSER on a way to a comfortable UD.

    Fair enough. At this point in time - I wouldn't be big on favoring Usyk against any of the big three - unless, like I mentioned earlier, that the loser of Wilder-Fury looked terrible (Wilder in this hypothetical), and Usyk landed that fight next.

    Maybe if Joseph Parker was still heavyweight champion. Not against Wilder or Joshua, too mammoth of a task for this cruiserweight.

    Succeed or not, but the HW division will become much more interesting with Usyk in it!

    Does he possibly have a stamina advantage that counter-balances his size disadvantage?

    Joshua is the only one of them that has questionable stamina, Fury and Wilder both have very good stamina, but Joshua seems to have adapted his style to compensate.

    Regardless usyk won't be able to apply "pressure" like he did against Bellew, all 3 of those guys are way bigger men and wont be looking to avoid contact

    Usyk v T Fury & Fury will bust Usyk up,cos Fury for a big man can box Usyk to small.
