Who is the more dangerous opponent, Wilder or Usyk

[Mr Giggles]

Wilder already been beat but he’s hungry and angry and has that power. Usyk who has never been beat is slick and skillful but small and has no power.

which is the more dangerous fight.

[Robbie Barrett]

Usyk is going to have massive problems getting inside against anyone with a decent jab and straight right, when he gets there he has nothing to hurt his opponent and will get tied up and reset. He's only there for a payday.

[GhostofDempsey]

Wilder is more dangerous, but he hasn't shown or made any serious effort to fight AJ. Priced himself out and refuses to fight in the U.K.

First of all, Usyk at cruiser was a monster. I might put him on a short list with fighters like Tunney, Spinks, etc. He did it all, and was strong for the weight, could even get physical with the opponent, hit to the body, used head movements, varied his punches in tempo, made adjustments in the ring, was a viscious finisher... But he is no longer that fighter. He has been reduced to moving in lines, cannot really get physical and go to the body much these days... The Usyk of a few years back would have beat Bellew's beaks off, instead of getting beat until Bellew gassed.

I see no way Usyk, fighting like he does now, against Chisora, can beat a legit A level heavyweight. Wiilder, by contrast, is getting better. Looks sharper, his form on his shots is straighter, has gotten more precise footwork, etc.

He's already fought in the UK, be it against Audley Harrison. He also didnt have any problems with facing Joshua in the UK, it was the money.

I think Usyk is actually more dangerous. Have a strong feeling how good he looks depends on his level of opponent.

He ducked Whyte, didn't want to fight him in the U.K. for at that time a career high payday of $7M. A win would have sealed an AJ fight. Somehow he priced himself out of the AJ fight insisting he was worth 50% when he only earned 10% of what AJ earned.

He used to be Klitchsko’s sparring partner and used to school him apparently. Your Sky commentary team idols said there were at a Wlad training camp and the cameras had to get sent out because Usyk was beating Wlad up. I personally don’t take a lot from sparring but we know Usyk has years and years of experience sparring big men with a long jab and right hand as you’ve just described.

So I’m not sure it will be as simple as you think.

I think he will have a lot of success against Joshua because Joshua’s pace will allow him a lot of room to work.

Usyk is one of the greatest amateurs of recent times, I dont think just a decent jab and right hand will nullify him that easily. He will have seen that style plenty.

[TMLT87]

Hard to say. They're both dangerous in different ways. Wilder is 6'7 with massive one punch power but limited skillset and defensive vulnerability. Usyk is a smaller HW with meh power but is technically very skilled and has a good chin.

[baroidi]

Wilder, but only if he isn't mentally destroyed. Wilder still has 1 punch KO power, Uysk too small and has no power to keep the big HWs off him and it'll be extremely difficult to get a decision against Joshua in the UK.
