Video - Can Usyk succeed at Heavyweight?

Yeh, I understand your position. And sort of agree. Although we will need to see about Fury 2.0 on the stamina front.

But on the other hand ... Wilder, hasn't gone a full 12 rounds against anyone who has been accumulating points (except for the fleet-footed slick-as-they-come Stiverne).

Fury had lots of problems with Cunningham early on, Parker went the distance with Joshua and an active Usyk in the later rounds could be picking off a lot of points against a tiring Joshua (if he can't find a KO).

 

Lets look at it.

He clowned Joe Joyce in the WBSS and was coming on strong at the end (would have stopped him if it was a 12 round fight). Joyce is Olympic Silver Medalist and a super heavyweight comparable in size to Joshua, Klitschko.

Wilder looked terrible vs Szpilka (same size as Usyk and southpaw). Usyk you imagine would be able to do 10x the job Szpilka did, and even 2-3 times the job could have got it done.

Joshua couldn't land his right hand for love or money vs Parker, his movement and speed destroyed AJ's offence. AJ also declines in stamina rapidly throughout fights.

Fury admitted his hardest fight was Steve Cunningham because being a Cruiserweight moving up, he was slicker and faster than Tyson, and Tyson could not out box him.

Talent wise I'd say Usyk is an A+, Joshua a B+, Fury a B+ and Wilder a B. I think the skill differential is enough to make up on the 20-35 lbs weight disadvantage.

 

Usyk could beat Wilder right now. That wouldn't be a huge leap in size and the skill differential would be huge. TBH he'd probably beat Fury right now, if Fury isn't on his game.

Joshua is the only fighter I'd have as favourite against him due to the combination of skills and power.

 

Usyk is 10 times the boxer AJ is , but there’s no way he will ever get a UD against AJ in UK. We remember what happened in olympics. Also AJ is on juice no question about it and anybody who ever used hgh or roids should be able to see that, but in UK he wil never fail a test, so Usyks chances are really slim.

 

This guy understands the situation perfectly. U.K. boxing is just a shell game rigged in favor of Joshua, in fact the entire nation is in business to ensure Joshua's success.
