How would Wlad have handled Usyk? He definitely broke his style down to jab, grab and hold as Fury says, but it was effective. Especially against guys he could out muscle and exhaust with clinches, grappling. Is Usyk just an example of how the strengths of a small, proper sized heavyweight is at an advantage over the oversized guys who have a ceiling (punch output, maneuverability, gas tank)? Even though I'm a true believer in the best heavyweights being Usyks size, I don't think he's that guy. Would Wlads method against smaller guys benefit Joshua?
You just went full re.tar.d.
Next time just say “Ibragimov, who is that??” and I’ll be happy to explain how they are very similar.
Or, you could actually watch some of his fights and educate yourself. You’ll discover Ibragimov was a 6’2” 220 pound very elusive left hander who relied on his legs and upper body movement to defeat fighters much larger than himself. His only career loss coming against Wlad in 2008.
you guys know ****!! Wlad already been K.O by poorer version of Usyk. remember he's south african, fast-hand, throw short crisp combos, south-paw, terrible stamina, dad bod, ghastly footwork.
that's right, from Brits, North-west, South Africa...
The Sniper, COLONEL SANDERS.....

Sanders has only one commonality with Usyk. Being southpaw. The rest of their styles and attributes are not just different, but polar opposites. Sanders was KO artist with a poor stamina. Usyk is a pure boxer with incredible stamina, footwork and overall fundamentals. But without KO punch.

Don't fool yourselves. Joshua isn't as good as we made him out to be and IMO he has regressed since he beat an old Klitschko.
Usyk is capable but not elite at Heavyweight. P4P he is fantastic but will never beat Fury.
Wlad would jab and grab him just like the rest of them. Lean on them. Then late into the fight the power shots show up. Wlad UD and likely at least 1 knockdown.
I think Wlad-Povetkin gives you the best idea, as Haye while CW champ was more of a power puncher at HW and fought a negative fight... not much to take from that.
I dont see Usyk’s feints making Wladimir as tentative as they did Joshua. Wlad would have jabbed and measure more and also held more, which gives him the opportunity to catch Usyk on the way out.
Sooner or later Wadimir lands a left hook that ends the night or puts Usyk into survival mode until the final bell.
