STEPPS BOY 73,142 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Usyk was on a different level. tight first round, Bellew wins the next two then every round after that it got easier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithgersbear 3,225 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 If Joshua catches Usyk with any of the shots Bellew did he will go to sleep. Should stay at his weight imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usyk beats Whyte/Chisora easily and the money alone makes the AJ fight attractive. Sket 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s hardly small though. 6ft 3 say he fights at just under 16 stone, throw in the fact that he’d be best boxer in the division by a mile and he’s then a threat.

callumbo87 209 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 As good as Usyk is I don't think he has the power to keep the likes of Whyte, Joshua and Wilder from coming forward. Time will tell how he adapts moving up I suppose... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebell82 236 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 He will be a threat at heavyweight, boxed as an amateur at heavyweight and has size plus boxing ability. He will prob be similar weight to Wilder at heavyweight, who himself could go down to cruiserweight if he wanted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winner or Whyte/Chisora gets a big pay day in April and Usyk may even fight in the same card against a Takam or someone of that level with a AJ/Usyk fight in September. Usyk can take a punch as well, he was in some proper scraps on his way to winning the wbss. He will. Get bigger as well with not having to make weight Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangersMedia 35,961 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Usyk really has to move up if he wants pay days. He cleaned up Cruiserweight within 15 pro fights, and looked impressive in doing so - there is nothing left there for him. In terms of skill set he would be the best in the HW division, but obviously the question remains about his power, his size and ability to take power shots. How would he cope with a Fury for example, a guy 6 or 7" taller, 40lbs heavier, unorthodox and great at doing subtle things to make it awkward and nullify. Or Joshua, a guy that whilst quite predictable, he would have to get in his range to engage, or how would he cope with the unpredictable explosive nature of Wilder? He has as good of a chance as any CW moving up. Holyfield managed to make an impact, in a far stronger era. As a boxer, I think Usyk is (at least) as good as Holyfield was at CW - whether that can translate to HW is another matter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creampuff 22,628 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Nothing but respect for Bellew. Boxed the right fight, but needed a telling shot in the early rounds. As Badger said, could never keep that up for 12. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshua can bang and Wilder the same( though unpredictable) They’d probably be Usyks hardest fights. David Haye beat a guy like Chisora and Usyk is a far better fighter and has a far better chin.
