    Its Usyks job to get punched in the face, why would he avoid it?

    Oh, he's got the skills, no doubt. But he's giving up a hell of a lot of lbs in the process. I'm interested to see how it goes ;)

    When Holyfield won the Crusierweight title he was 187 lbs. WITH A SAME DAY WEIGH-IN. A couple of years later he was dueling with Bowe, Lewis and Ustinov. Usyk is a bigger man than Holy he's probably 215 in the ring.

    Holyfield was 187 when he won the Crusierweight title. Chris Byrd was a SMW who took 18 months off to eat. James Toney is 5'8, and Povetkin is about 6-2 220, same size as Usyk.

    He should just go up, take 2 fights and if it doesn't work, just move back down.

    Holyfield was on enough HGH to change a cat into a horse.

    With Hunter dispatching of both Bakole and Ustinov within 5 weeks, I severely doubt it. Still doubt he can become a reigning heavyweight champion, but Usyk is most definitely a worthy contender.

    Yeah usyk is a known coward he ducked other cruisers by going to their backyard and beating them, thats the purest ducking. Unlike wilder, ward or AJ, Usyk always fights at home.

    Different era - heavyweights are much bigger now and Holyfield was obviously on drugs.

    Usyk will move up though. I think he’s good enough to manage just fine anyway.

    I heard that he will fight Antony Joshua but I don't when.
