Who should Usyk fight first at HW?

Dereck Chisora.

 

Anyone credible. Let's just stop this silly talk about Usyk being a top heavyweight until he actually proves it.

 

My money would be someone like Allen, durable easy British tv exposure and a good way to feel your way into the heavyweight scene

 

He is naturally as big as Parker and Whyte so why not one of them?

 

He beats Whyte pretty comfortably so why not throw they two together.

Whyte will be dangerous for a few rounds but accumulation will get to him.

I think it just depends how quick they want the big fights at heavyweights for Usyk.

 

Whyte. I think he has the skills to make him look silly and send a message he is serious.

 

Someone tall Helenius , Dupoah , Wach.

 

Please make the Usyk v Whyte fight
.... just to shut the hype up.

Even Usyk would not agree to fight Whyte right now.

But please please make it I'll order some pizza and watch the hypertrain derail

 

You think Whyte could make Cruiser?!

 

Should be Chisora since he offers the most in terms of profile, revenue and winability. Shame for t'ol donkey but he'll be well paid, again.

 

I don't want him to muck around, so someone like Whyte would be ideal. It's pointless "testing the waters" against some big scrub that he'd run rings round when he's already cleared out the best of the CW division. That's an insult to his achievement and an insult to the fighters he beat that the mere addition of size would render all their qualities moot.

Let's see if he's up to the challenge of taking of Joshua by dropping him straight into the deep end. I'm sure he'd want nothing less.

 

Whyte, like a lot of modern heavyweights, is quite overweight, so it wouldn't surprise me if he was able to get down to the 220s at least. There's no excuse why a six three or six four guy like him couldn't shed a ton of weight without weakening himself when someone like Foreman, who was as thickset as anyone at that height, was able to make 217-220 in his prime.

 

I don't see why he wouldn't when he's never shown himself to have backed down from a challenge in his entire career.

I'd love to see Usyk vs Whyte. Either Whyte millers him and we can forget about Usyk's run at HW or Usyk propels himself onto the scene in a major way and makes the potential for a Joshua or Fury fight all that more exciting.

 

Difference between backing down from a fight, and taking fights that make sense, at the right time.

Whyte is as game as anybody, but he wouldn't fight Joshua till the time was right... till he fine tuned a few physical and technical aspects... and he wanted himself a world title to bring more to the table with Joshua.

But Whyte would Miller Usyk... size makes a big difference in any combat situation. And Usyk would school Whyte for a few rounds before he get's seriously hurt and beat down.

Whyte is not inexperienced anymore, he will land... and he will land with intent...and he can hurt the biggest guys in the division a blown up cruiser is not going to handle that power.

The sickening body shots from Whyte will give Usyk a lot to think about. Until you've really experienced those kind of shots... you will not know how to handle them.

Usyk v Breazeale is a more fair test.

 

I think it will be Joseph Parker. A known name, former world champion - increases his profile and should be a straight forward win.
