I don't see Usyk beating any top 10 HWs

Usyk is already top 5 hw by boxrec, which is correct. I would favor him over all hw-s not named Joshua, Ruiz, Tyson Fury.

Wladimir Klitschko was last really elite heavyweight. Fury beat him, but ducked a rematch. Joshua beat inactive version of Klitschko. I think Usyk will be just fine there, because there are no elite guys anymore, as I just mentioned.

He's a technician with great movement...something HW's don't usually see and that will give them all trouble. I'm looking forward to seeing more of him at HW. I don't know what people expected last night. He won every round and out landed Witherspoon by miles. His style is to wear-down his opponents as he was doing last night. If Witherspoon was younger and better prepared his strategy might have had a more dramatic late fight finish that people wanted to see...but Witherspoon could not go on and his corner saved him. I wouldn't draw any conclusions on is HW career based on his 1st fight after a long layoff due to injury. I want to see him against top-level guys...it will happen. I 100% agree with you. Usyk usually takes a little time to guage his opponents and to also think that his showing last Saturday is as good as it gets, makes me think that some opinions/post are only based on emotion or bias. Usyk is probably going to shock a lot of people on this forum!

WBO TOP HW Rankings Andy Ruiz Oleksandr Usyk Tyson Fury Anthony Joshua Joseph Parker Adam Kownacki Tyrone Spong Junior Fa Luis Ortiz Daniel Dubois Really? He can't beat ANY of these guys? Why the hell not? Yeah, I am sure he can beat Spong, Fa, Kownacki and Parker.

Spilka the goat. Got KTFO by the man from Alabama

great fighter, but needs to go back to CW You're wrong. I'm gonna save this thread when he wins a belt.

It's possibly the weakest era of heavyweights ever. He'll be fine. - -Weakest era of light in the loafers boxing fans to be sure.

That's odd, the only one I'm 90% sure knocks him cold is the guy from Alabama. Spilka the goat.

Usyk vs Ortiz

He will be fine. People keep talking about his ability or lack there of to take a HW shot. Let any HW get caught flush by a big puncher and guess what is going to happen 90% of the time. I sense alot of insecurity on here about Usyk's move to HW. There are a multitude of threads already bashing what he did last night in a fight he dominated. It's like people have never seen the guy fight before. He did what he always does pretty much. His style and ability should beat most heavyweights but the top guys just may hit too hard. Time will tell!

He looked good though

Yeah, people act like there are some monsters there. Wilder can`t box. Joshua is chinny. Fury is chinny. Ortiz is old. Povetkin is old. Kownacki has no defense. Parker is no puncher. Ruiz is fat. Pulev went life and death with D level Dinu Rivas is solid, nothing more Whyte has awful footwork I don`t say usyk beats this guys, but there is no reason to believe he is a walk in the park for them. Exactly that’s what makes it watchable because all heavyweights fighter have flaws which you accurately stated. It would be funny to see Usyk fights ones of these giants and win 12 rounds to 0 haha

Destroy Povetkin/Parker/White? Um.... would he outbox Parker/Whyte? Yes. Povetkin? Probably. BUT... If Usyk starts as slow as he did today... he would get KTFO by any of those punches from a legit HW... Ok... excluding Parker. Parker would be a good fight... Hunter would be a good fight for Usyk and I would take Hunter vs Usyk. The same Hunter he already beat? Lol, you cant even make this s#%/ up lololololol......

He has a chance because none of these top heavyweights are good. To say Wilder,Fury,Joshua and Ruiz are leagues above him cracks me up. All these have is weight advantage and I’m not even a Usyk fan but come on now heavyweight division so overrated. B class fighters making 8 figure paydays haha Yeah, people act like there are some monsters there. Wilder can`t box. Joshua is chinny. Fury is chinny. Ortiz is old. Povetkin is old. Kownacki has no defense. Parker is no puncher. Ruiz is fat.
