Who does he match-up better with?
Anybody who thinks usyk can beat wilder is just flat out ******ed,thankfully hearn is not that stupid and would never put his life on the line like that,every man wilder has ever fought has hit the canvas including fury,how the hell is the shorter fighter gonna dance around the much taller fighter with the reach advantage and not get hit?Swear some of you are just stupid,wilder knocking out 250 pound plus men and you idiots think a cruiserweight gonna stand a chance?he can have a boring boxing match with fury,hearn would never let him near wilder
Usyk takes Wilder to school.
I wouldn't be surprised if Usyk KO's Wilder.
Wilder leaves himself so open and a skilled operator like Usyk will be catching him with clean hard counters all nigh.
Hard to see how Usyk can out box or land anything big enough for the KO on Fury.
Wilder will KTFO of that EEuro Frankenstein!

Cunningham, a cruiserweight, gave Fury some problems. I know Fury's improved a lot since then, but Usyk's speed and skills can make this fight very frustrating for him. I don't expect Usyk to beat Fury, but he can exploit weaknesses that bigger and slower fighters can't.
You usyk fanboys have to stop. its GGG all over again. USYK is top at cruiser. but I dont think he has a higher ring IQ than Fury and Wilder can knock his head off. USYK has to get inside on wilder who has ko power through 12 rounds, just as quick, and a massive reach advantage.
Wilder and Furys reach are 83 and 85 inches
usyk is 78
USYK would have to try to outpoint Wilder while not impossible, he risks getting put to sleep.
now who thinks usyk can beat andy ruiz? I think ruiz smokes him as well.
Usyk harder to hit than Fury!? What you smoking mate? Usyk got hit a thousand times against Briedis and won a very close decision. Fury beats Usyk easily, bigger, better, more skilled.
Usyk is a better boxer than Fury and tyson isn't going to hurt him. I take Usyk over Fury.
I don't know enough about Usyk's chin or his speed at HW to know how he'd fare against Wilder.
Usyk is far harder to hit than Fury. Usyk would tie Wilder in knots.
I’m not so sure about that.
Usyk might be my favourite fighter and there’s a case he could be p4p no.1 but he’s actually not difficult to hit.
One of his big flaws is that he probably gets caught too much for such a skilled boxer. He was getting tagged a fair bit in quite a few of his fights. He’s excellent though.
Fury will be much harder to hit at heavyweight than Usyk. Fury’s reach allows him to usually control the distance, you can count on one hand how many times Wilder and Wlad got in range to throw properly against Fury. Usyk being the smaller man will need to be in much closer range to do work and more hittable than he was at cruiswerweight.
I think most folks will say Wilder is the easier match up but I will disagree. Wilder has shown the ability to land on everyone so far. The power will be the biggest difference Usyk has to deal with as he moves up in weight. A fully extended power shot from Wilder will rip his head off. Fury can be beat with solid fundamentals. Usyk is solid in that department. I can absolutely see Usyk winning a decision vs Fury. Wilder will eventually rip his head off though.
Rip his head off? Then Wilder's dream of a kill in the ring would come true.
He has a better chance to beat Fury because Fury is not a big puncher and he has a low work rate averaging not much over 30 punches a round. Usyk averages about double that many punches per round. I don't think Usyk has ever been knocked down and he is a sklled boxer. He has a good chance to beat either of them but Wilder's fast deadly right makes him the more dangerous opponent in my opinion.
