Comments Thread For: Hunter: on Usyk: Nobody is Going To Really Respect Him at Heavyweight

[Shadoww702]

There was a really good old boxing movie with Cuba Gooding in it as a GREAT actor. Go watch it and that's fake movie but real on how they treat boxers on the DL.

Usyk is the 2nd best cruiser of all time, it will he hard for someone to take that spot from him. I don't have much hopes for his success at heavyweight though.

Looks like Hunter is humming for a fight with Usyk. Why else would he say that?
Hunter...there are no fights being made. Can't you see that?

Funny coming from another heavyweight who got his ass handed to him by Usyk and lost 117-110 on all 3 scorecards...

[Earl-Hickey]

He's not wrong.

Usyk was teeing off on a gassed 40 year old Chisora for like 6 rounds and never hurt him except once when it looked to me more like Chisora tripped over his own feet and did a slight stumble.

But that's what happens when you go from fighting the likes of Tone Bellew and the likes to fighting the big boys, there's levels to boxing.

Usyk has got NO power at heavyweight, not even a bit of power.

That was at cruiserweight but he's talking about Usyk at heavyweight. He has looked less than average at heavyweight because he has no power. That's what Hunter is talking about.

Yeah, he really couldn't hurt Chisora properly and that bodes poorly if he faces one of the really big guys. Usyk has wonderful feet, a durable chin and an endless gas tank and that might possibly be enough to take him a long way, but he isn't going to stop anyone other than by attritition.

I understand that but he seems to be the wrong person to criticize. If no one is going to respect Usyk at heavyweight then I guess Hunter should just retire now

Yeah, they are pretty much sharing the same boat. I'm a fan of both but I don't see either as a threat to topple Fury or Joshua.
