Who can beat Usyk?

Dont forget that other fella is pretty good as well!

Wow cruiser is exciting!!

 

Maybe Gassiev.

 

At CW? I don't see him losing to anyone right now. He would probably lost at HW though. Guys are just too big for him.

 

i can see him doing well vs AJ, he did beat a similar size fighter in Joe Joyce in the world series of boxing and dominated might of even knocked him down but can't remember was about 5 years ago

 

I don't think anybody at CW, although Gassiev has the best chance as his increasingly notorious liver shot could find it's target easier against the southpaw. Maaaaaaybe a few at HW could beat him though.

Joshua, Ortiz and Wilder will have significant reach and power advantages so they could, in theory, play a long range game and then time him and catch him with something big coming in. But even then I think Usyk's constant lateral movement could bamboozle Joshua and Wilder (both of whom have mediocre to average punch accuracy) and also make Ortiz's lack of speed very evident. I don't believe any of those three have the footwork to pin Usyk in a corner and make him feel the size difference though, Wilder's footwork is awful, Joshua's is average and Ortiz's is just too slow.

Povetkin would be in with a shout too as he is the only top tier HW right now that I think has the intelligent pressure and footwork to stand any decent chance of pinning Usyk against the ropes and working him over, but Povetkin also doesn't have the physical advantages over Usyk that Joshua/Wilder would have (he's actually shorter than Usyk) so he'd be more susceptible to being kept at bay eating jab after jab. At 38 we also don't know how what he'll have left in the tank by the time Usyk actually moves up.

 

Well Gassiev has the only real chance to do something against Usyk. Can't wait to see how Usyk exposes Briedis, because a lot of people rate Briedis as a super top fighter. In the heavyweights there isn't anyone with such a stamina that can cause him troubles. The only way he gets beaten is by a very good landed shot. If you want to tool with Usyk u need to be quick. That's why some people say he struggles with smaller guys than him. Well they are even faster. QUICK MATHS ( as my fella big shaq says )

 

I don't object to Usyk being the number one seed boxer but Dorticos and Gassiev could possibly beat him. After all, Usyk is only human but I anticipate him winning the series.

 

Hughie Fury

 

I would like to watch dorticos vs usyk. Just curious about this fight.

 

He's beatable. He lost the second half of his fight to Glowacki.

 

Usyk is a fine fighter and he’ll likely win this torn though I certainly wouldn’t count out Gassiev & Doc

At HW I guess I’m the minority here (lol) he gets sparked by AJ and DW. Just my opinion.

 

Dang, you were doing so good with the first paragraph

 

My apologies I’m a realist with no emotional ties or vested interests with these fighters they don’t represent my immediate family and none will signify or solidify one groups dominance or the other......I’m not swayed by the media, networks or propaganda. All in all life is excellent because I appreciate the contributions of gifted athletes instead of being intimidated by there abilities and accomplishments.

Oh by the way did I forget to mention Usyk is a fine fighter and a gifted boxer that will likely win the cruiser torn but should stay away from Wilder and Joshua.

 

I think you are swayed by the media, but thats a topic for another day
