Who is the more dangerous opponent, Wilder or Usyk

[JakeTheBoxer]

If I was a heavyweight, I would rather fight Usyk.

Usyk is a name, a payday and you risk to lose on cards or maybe stoppage in late rounds.

When you fight Wilder, you risk you life, because he has one punch KO power.

Usyk got skills and can box, I'd say he is.

[famicommander]

Wilder. No matter how badly he's being beaten he can end any fight with one punch. I know he's failed to knock out Fury twice now but if Fury loses focus for an instant or steps into one he can still easily get put to sleep.

Usyk looked like garbage against Chisora. He doesn't hit hard enough to keep these big heavyweights off him. He's a very minimal threat to the likes of Joshua, Fury, or Wilder. I'd have a hard time even picking him to beat the likes of Ruiz or Ortiz.

Is that even a sensible question?

Wilder has reigned as a legitimate HW champion for 5 years knocking several HWs out during that time. He even knocked down Fury twice in the first fight.

Usyk is yet to have a single impressive HW performance in his career.

[kushking]

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.

Come on bro,Dbol Shyte is garbage all around,at that time AJ was ducking Wilder,& 7m was nothing for a hw champ to be reduced to fighting club fighters like Whyte,Wilder never ducked Whyte. Whyte is all around a disgrace to boxing (even more than Wilders excuses)

Whyte is better than all Breazeale, Washington, Szpilka and similar guys that Wilder fought for championship belt. Silly excuses. And you know that. Whyte would be Wilder`s best win.

Usyk is a legitimate threat to Joshua. Joshua has got to really change up from how he fought Ruiz the second time and catch Usyk going straight back...like chisora did. Idiots who say Usyk is in this for a payday show extreme ******ity... Usyk has been waiting to prove himself... I don't think he will do it, but it would not suprise me if I was wrong. Historically one option for a marquee cruiser has always been to move up in a weak division and challenge the heavyweight champ. Usyk is following manifest destiny lol.

Whyte was never Wilders mandatory (whether fair or not)Wilder was smart for not taking Eddies bs offer that wouldn't even have had any guarantee hed get AJ

I have no idea why people say Usyk has no power he got the respect of an absolute unit in Murat Gassiev, he hurt Chisora multiple times - far more so than Fury and Parker ever did. He hurt Hunter several times who is taking 'HW power' just fine.

He is fast (hand & foot) & punches off of angles these HWs certainly won't be used to seeing plus they for most part have horrible stamina, its much harder to take a shot when tired. Its the shots you don't see that hurt you.
He isn't a one punch knockout artist (Tony Bellew said the same also and look what happened there) but he absolutely has enough power to hurt and command respect from these HWs, 99% of which are standoffish anyway.

People said Fury hit like a girl yet he decimated Wilder. Since when has Andy Ruiz been a puncher? He smashed AJ from pillar to post and looked like a prime Tyson in that fight.
All these HWs have the power to hurt each other if they land in the right spot.

He also messed up Marco Huck who took HW punches with no issue.

Usyk is a great technician that sets his power up. All these HWs or most throw everything at the same speed/power/velocity.
He softens you up tapping away, touching you then mixes it up with a fast ball. When he sits down on his punches he is quite a spiteful puncher imo
He can definitely ring your bell & make you think twice.
