His speed and jab is too much he fights like a jr lightweight and he can take the hardest of shots like he did in round 4 from gassiev straight on the chin and in the briedis fight he weathered the storm like nothing. He can easily toy with Joshua and wilder he’s that good.
i cant help but laugh at the british announcers that get more and more desperate each round to the point of yelling "Come on Joe!"
yeah, they were pulling really hard for joyce. usyk can compete at HW without a problem imo
Usyk has 11 KO's in 15 fights...but it's his skills/speed/stamina and volume of punches that make him a problem even for the big punchers at heavyweight. It's risky but that's one of the things that would make it so interesting to watch. He'd become a huge drawing power at heavyweight. I think both Wilder and Joshua would have a hard time finding him.
He walks around at 220 lbs...a few extra lbs of muscle and he would be big enough because of his other attributes. I'd like to see him against Oritz although I think he's too fast for Ortiz. But it would be a great test to see how does against a legit power heavyweight.
I'd say keep him at his walk around weight right now, or add 5lbs. A heavyweight who moves like a middleweight, and dodges everything like the matrix would be a HUGE draw in America.
i'm watching it, he did whatever the fuck he wanted :lol1: amazing

Usyk gave up 25lbs here and gave a lesson in boxing.
i'm watching it, he did whatever the fuck he wanted :lol1: amazing
he would lose, look how he reacted to getting hit at the end of that round, knees buckled... and the guy he was fighting had no jab nor head movement. wilder, aj, ortiz, fury, and a few others beat his azz... hes a good fighter tho but lets calm down
Might not make sense for Usyk, so I doubt he would accept but if I’m Beterbiev my career needs a kickstart so I’m asking. Their fight in 2012 was fairly competitive.
Beterbiev would lose badly and that would hurt his career more than anything that's happened so far.
That fight makes zero sense. Isn't Usyk moving up to Heavyweight?

If I were Beterbiev, I’d be calling Usyk out. Nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Not like his idiot promoter is going to get him a decent fight

Usyk is fast. Faster than Haye. He also has unbelievable stamina.
He has x factor, and probably y and z factor too.
Very true. It's what Floyd calls "special effects".
Usyk should season into the heavyweight division. Fight some money fights against smallish heavies, starting with Bellew. Maybe Haye? Parker. Add weight smartly and build strength.
One thing is clear: Nothing left at cruiser.
Chill lol, Gassiev looked extremely basic in there, 0 jab, he fights exactly like Abraham but Abraham actually has a jab.
Usyk is best suited at cruiser, the guys at HW are way too big.
Wilder showed more skill than Gassiev ever has.
You absolutely dont know **** about boxing if you think that Wilder has better skills and fundamentals than Gassiev lmao...what the hell are you even thinking. Gassiev has never been outboxed before Usyk, Wilder was getting outboxed by the likes of Szpilka
I'd be curious to see what his weight was pre fight. I'd be guessing around 215?
Maybe, my guess would be under 210. Weighing in under 199 makes me think that he's not pushing the class limit.
If he puts on 20-30 pounds he'll lose whatever advantages he might have. If he tries to slug it out with any of these monsters he'll look a lot like Byrd did against Wlad. Speed, stamina and angles are how he will succeed, if he succeeds.

The thing is, can he keep his speed, stamina, and movement with 20-30 more lbs on him....
gonna be very interesting nonetheless

Im just gonna say this. I dont think that any man on the planet can take Wilder's power. But yeah I see Usyk having a easy time at HW, not named joshua or wilder
He isn't close to being as fast as haye. Haye was explosively quick. Let's stay real.
I didn't say close to being as fast. I said faster, which he is.
Haye had explosive one punch speed. Usyk reliably punches in lightning combinations in a way that Haye could only have dreamt of, and has much faster effective footwork.
Haye definitely had explosive speed. But he is a slowpoke next to Usyk who has continuous speed, keeping up a pace Haye simply couldn't do.
