    Funnily enough yes. He just telegraphs it horribly most of the time.

    Not sure about zhang but wilder is not the comfort zone for usyk . Usyk loves technical boxing where he can benefit from his superior skills . In a fight against wilder he would without any doubts outbox him significantly BUT that might mean nothing when wilder brutally windmills usyk regardless of clean technical boxing. Here his skills will not help much and i do not think usyk can asborb wilders windmilling .

    Wilder is a boxer to be avoided by usyk at any costs

    Usyk's attempt to be careful against Zhang would not work, Usyk is fast and skilled but Zhang has a fast and devastating left hand and Usyk has not met a fighter of that caliber yet, Zhang is also a fighter who will pressure you and make you think of a way to defend yourself, especially Usyk being far lighter, Zhang would KO Usyk in early rounds...

    Usyk is a constantly moving target and not a slow footed tailor-made behemoth. Hope it gets made next btw.

    Don't be ridiculous... if a gatekeeper with an okay defence in Szpilka can evade the telegraphed punch until round 9, then an elite fighter with a much better defence stands a decent chance of avoiding it altogether - and unlike Szpilka, Usyk can and will put pressure on Wilder, too.

    Except Wilder will duck...

    Whilst Big Bang has close to 70lbs on Usyk which to be fair is an insane amount of weight to be giving away, is a skilled and extremely powerful and crafty southpaw with fast hands Usyk has much faster feet and hands and is a lot more skilled, crafty and elusive with much better movement

    And he has fought murderous punchers and legit bangers such as

    AJ
    Gassiev
    Briedis
    Dubois
    Glowacki
    Bellew
    Chisora
    Huck
    Hunter

    In the WSB/amateurs among others

    Majidov
    Joyce
    Nistor
    Goulamirian
    Kamshybek Kunkabayev
    Vassilly Levit
    Lenier Pero
    Julio Castillo
    Tervel Pulev
    Beterbiev

    Yes I know Big Bang hits harder than most of the punchers Usyk has fought

    Of the pro HWs

    AJ is a massive puncher with fast hands

    Dubois is a massive puncher with pretty fast hands

    Both of them had serious problem dealing with Usyk's speed, skills, ring IQ, movement, elusiveness and trying to catch him as has every other of the very many punchers he's fought who he's wanted to avoid getting hit by did and when they did he took their power because he has an iron chin

    Big Bang has never fought anyone as slick, quick, intelligent, elusive and skilled as Usyk

    He's actually been dropped numerous times in the amateurs and pros (at least three) and stopped at least once in the amateurs and as as pro the hardest puncher he's fought is by far is Hrgovic who whilst a big, very strong and tough guy and a big puncher does not carry massive power like AJ and Dubois do. Not suggesting Usyk would stop Big Bang of course

    The thing which would concern me the most about that match up is even though Big Bang is the older man by almost four years Usyk is more past his prime and has slowed down more than Big Bang who surprisingly looks better than ever at 40 y/o

    Usyk via wide UD

    As for The Dosser

    That can-crushing uncoordinated exposed hype job bum can get right to the back of the line and do something to actually earn a shot as The King for once in his life

    Usyk did not get clipped by harder, faster punchers. Never fought a southpaw of Zhang's skills, but there are also obvious shortcomings in Zhilei that can be exploited. Gas tank, low output when faced with educated feints and movement, slow feet.

    Usyk would be too complicated for Zhang I feel. Zhang, powerful, good hands, but slow and plodding. Usyk would target the mid section often. Usyk might not stop Zhang but he would box him up and down. My opinion

    He brutally knocks out nothing. Joyces defence is ridiculous compared to Usyks. None can corner him and hit him hard or
    put him on the ropes. If he is called "The Cat" there will be a reason.

    Zhang KO's Fury
    Zhang loses a relatively boring UD to Usyk

    Does Joyce KO still KO Usyk as well? I know there were some that said that before the 1st Zhang fight. Just wonder if people still feel that way.
