Usyk is more than capable of backing down a HW

Usyk will do good at heavyweight. I have always found him frustrating to watch though, I just find his style boring as he just seems overly cautious even at cruiser weight. His style will frustrate the heavyweights though as most of them are flat footed except Fury.

he's not sitting down on his punches and not generating much power. Agreed. He didn't really commit to his shots vs Chazz. I expect a better level of opponent next time out will force him to.

No doubt Usyk can be some heavyweights but can he beat Wilder, Fury, Whyte, Ruiz,or AJ? I don't think he can unless he shows me much more than he did in his first heavyweight fight.

People are trying too hard to convince themselves and others that Usyk is a big puncher. Usyk is the only HW I give a fuk about right now but he's not sitting down on his punches and not generating much power. We don't need to lie about it. I hope he changes the way he fights at HW because if he keeps the current approach, it's going to end poorly. Guys CAN change how they punch. Loma is a perfect example. He used to punch soft because he wanted to be light on his feet. Now, he sits down on his punches more. People say he's fading but they mistake what he's doing. When Usyk does it (which he'll have to eventually) they'll say he's slowing and lost his movement. But, it's just a matter of applying power. the thing is i'm not saying he is a big puncher or something similar, i'm just saying he is no malignaggi. he has enough pop to make his opponents hesitate. there are posters here saying that takam would've stopped him. they think they are just gonna walk right through him when they can't even do that to guys like molina, szpilka and others. all of the sudden they are gonna stop usyk in the first 3 rounds?

Fighting Joyce now would be way more dangerous in a full 12 rounder. But as usual most posters have gone full re,tard on here discrediting a man with his abilities and training with Klitchko a long time, dont they know hes going to have great inside info how to approach certain fights ? What I like is the Wilderettes haven't smarten up and STILL don't realize when they compare fights it will always come back ten fold on them. Usyk would be Wilders best win ,these are the SAME posters calling Usyk overatted. :doh: i agree, the pros is a different game. but my point is that he is capable of backing them down, even hurting them. usyk's speed, footwork and stamina is was set him apart from the rest and i didn't see him being slow last saturday. and this joyce is better than last saturday's witherspoon

i know, it was the WSB, but still, a good example of how good usyk is. go watch round 4. some people here are making him to be like some sort of HW malignaggi, lol. and yes, witherspoon is no measuring stick, but i still saw the same usyk as usual, don't know where all this "looking slow" talking is coming from. He beat the **** out of joyce and would stop him if they fought now.
