Who should Usyk face in his first defence? The cruiserweight division is absolutely stacked full of talent. Usyk, Glowacki, Lebedev, Briedis, Bellew, Huck, Drozd, Dorticos, Kalenga, Makabu, Gassiev - not to mention BJ Flores (just kidding). Usyk vs Lebedev next has to be the dream scenario though. What do you think?
Gassiev is extremely powerful, but Lebedev is a tough guy. Anyway, Usyk should move up at HW, take the belts, money, glory and women.
Does that fight have a date yet? Should be some contest. I favour Lebedev. Gassiev looks raw. I think Usyk can be the best of the lot.
Usyk is far too fast, fluid and talented for anybody at cruiserweight. The only hope at beating him would have been if he lacked punch resistance, but he stood up to big punching super-heavies as an amateur. I'm really impressed with him.
He is lightening quick and technically brilliant, if he makes cruiserweights look slow imagine what it will be like at heavyweight. He seems to fight better against bigger men too
