LMAO. Saying he lacks power and is a slow starter. Usyk is always on you 12 rds non stop and he never gets tired. He does start slow to figure his opponents out. Only way joshua, ruiz, or wilder beat him is if they land a hail mary. Usyk has never been koed amateur or pro and dropped. They have to land clean shots on him. I can't see any of the 3 outboxing him. There's gonna be a lot of angry haters as usyk starts ranking up the belts. Once again most of you DKSAB.
honestly my perspective hasn't changed much of hin, he will be a fringe contender at heavyweight. In the mix, might pick up a belt but he isn't going to dominate...he isn't some master boxer, and with the size and some athleticism he is giving up i doubt he would unseat any of the top guys.
I'd put him on the parker, whyte sort of level. Hes another interesting player and will def add something to the division.
There are no dominant fighters at heavyweight. If you had a round robin, fury and wilder would probably come out ahead, but even those two are flawed fighters. They are very good, but flawed, beatable, and i wouldnt be surprised if there are more upsets along the way.
lol okay you know a lot about boxing i see
Usyk should fight Parker! You are right.
If ruiz loses and no 3rd fight, ruiz vs usyk would be great.
But let's admit it now, wilder is more athletic than usyk. Wilder is faster, stronger, massive reach advantage, faster handspeed, harder puncher. Usyk is not Holyfield. This is ggg being Hagler all over again. Usyk cleaned out the weakest division in boxing. Good champ, not a top 5 hw and thsts ok!
buahahahahahahahahahaha
give it up bro lol, witherspoon is 38 years old and out of shape, he also took the bout on how many days notice? Hes been stopped by mitchell, arreola, thompson etc.
Usyk was clearly bothered by chazzs power & his defense looks bad. Usyk won simply bc he was in better shape, a younger chazz may even pull off an upset.
lol hilarious
I don’t know what anyone else expected to see but I saw what I expected to see. Witherspoon is a good fighter with an excellent pedigree, no way was Usyk going to just walk through him. Fighters who have done that in the past have brought power and overwhelmed Chaz. That is obviously not Usyk’s game.
I could see Usyk beating Wilder and Ruiz, his reach, lateral movement and work rate would be to much for Andy. If you saw Szpilka/Wilder then picking Usyk over Wilder isn’t crazy at all.
I think Fury and Joshua would be tough, not thinking Usyk lasts long enough to take advantage of Joshua’s poor stamina. Usyk just doesn’t have Andy’s chin. Fury is just too big and I’m having a difficult time seeing what Usyk could do to win any rounds.
Good post.
I watched Usyk through the WBSS and naturally would compare him to Lomachenko.
After the Breidis fight I came to realize he's not as fast as Lomachenko and he gets hit more than him.
He's no defensive wizard but Everyone knows he can box.
But I guess the Real question is gonna be Can he take a shot from the Big guys.
Exactly.
I rate Usyk highly but he isn't in the same phenome category as Loma, tc, pac , Mayweather and fighters of that ilk .
Heavyweight is going to be really tough for him but he can beat some guys as long as he can handle the power.
The people complaining about how Usyk fought certainly have never seen him fight before. I have said multiple times that Usyk is no defensive genius and he does not have super human speed or power. What he is, is a very functional fighter with exceptional basics and most importantly, terrific grit and determination. He has taken hard punches in his career and he has been out boxed but each time he comes back and finds a way to win.
This fight was about answering one question - can Usyk carry the extra weight? The answer was yes.
He certainly has the ability to outbox a heavyweight like Wilder but can he take the power? How does he deal with the size and tenacity of someone like Whyte? What does he do against someone like AJ?

Great post. The racists from this forum will hate him no matter what. I strongly believe he can win all top guys unless he get hit with huge shot. The most difficult opponent for him will be Fury.
I tbought his performance was decent, he won every round. He did what he always does forced his opponent to fight at a pace he cant keep up. The first few rounds are always different to the later rounds when he fights.
His movement and workrate is a joy to watch, not a clintch either. He took a few shots , but nothing to worry about.
He seemed to be having problems with his left arm, wonder if he is carrying a knock or did it durnibg the fight

Usyk can outbox anyone at heavyweight for sure but who knows how he'd take a flush shot from Wilder. I think he'd beat Joshua fairly easily, he's slow and robotic and has no punch resistance. Ruiz and Usyk would be a fun fight but I think Fury and Usyk would be a boring chess match.
Usyk is too slick for Wilder
He will kill that body with the straight left to the solar plexus. But Wilder isn't ever going to fight the guy so we won't find out

There isn't a fighter alive that can take Wilder's power and stay standing for 12 rounds. If..nope..when Usyk gets hurt
.let's see how he responds.
Whats all this 12 rounds with Wilder and Wilder only needs to land once. Wilder gets clipped with the right shot and he could be knocked out in the 1st. You wana talk hypothetical then lets be hypothetical all round and stop with the Wilder will always have 12 rounds to land that perfect punch.
He had a UD with no knockdowns with Bermane Stiverne in their first fight.
Round 3 was pretty clearly a knockdown that Weeks didn't call for some reason.
Give it up bro lol, Witherspoon is 38 years old and out of shape, he also took the bout on how many days notice? Hes been stopped by Mitchell, Arreola, Thompson etc.

Hahaha hah you are obviously a uysk hater.....just looking for any excuse to put the man down. This is his first HW bout for God sake.
Do you have any american HW you want to introduce to us?
Even old Stiverne could stay 12 rounds on his feet in first fight.
Wilder ripped his bicep that first fight we all know what happened to stiverne that’s still wilders most vicious KO so I don’t know what you mean by even.
He fights a lot like lomachenko. He starts off giving different looks and feints to see his opponent’s reaction, then he starts to punch off them. He builds up round by round.
