Comments Thread For: Whyte: Usyk Has Looked Terrible at Heavyweight, He Has No Punch Power

usyk wobbles and finishes glassy whyte in rd8

I remembered when Whyte said “Who” when they spoke about him fighting Usyk. How times have changed, now he is trying to downplay Usyk so that he can get the opportunity.

At the end of the day Usyk is a mandatory challenger and would get his chance at the belt, regardless of who the champ is.

Funny, because if someone ordered a final eliminator between Whyte and Usyk I guarantee Whyte wouldn't take it.

I don’t agree, Whyte has been one of the few to be active and fight for fighting sake ( just look at the POV fight he didn’t have to take )

no no one at heavy is worrying about Usyk.

to be fair, Rivas was ranked 10th when Whyte beat him while on Dianbol and with uninspected gloves.

And then he mysteriously got promoted into top 10 despite losing the Fight. Lol..
rankings are ridiculous.

Whyte turned downworld title fight, why would he care about Eliminator. He's also Fought 3 x 40+ year olds in a row. And looked awful doing it. Including getting decapitated

Whyte has looked terrible at heavy weight in almost every fight he's ever had. Stinking out the ring constantly.


His greatest victory was against Lucas browne who just got ko'd in 1st round by a celebrity rugby player

Power means nothing when you are a defensive elite fighter. Usyk will cause all kinds of issues. He is faster, has better footwork and is defensively better. Usyk is no Ruiz. AJ can’t run like he did from Ruiz because Usyk can and will catch him. I also see most HWs fading down the stretch because Usyk has a larger gas tank than the vast majority of them.

the question will be if he gets clipped by AJ what then?

This is my point right here. Another poster asked how I'm basing AJ's performance off a fight against a 39 year old fighter. I'm using that fight instead of the Ruiz 2 fight because of the progression I've seen in those 2 fights. I agree he will be more prone to tiring down the stretch but if he uses the same style against Usyk that he did against Pulev I believe he will be successful. At some point in a fight everybody gets hit. How will Usyk handle the power is the unknown IMO. If I'm being honest I wouldnt mind seeing Usyk win as I'm not an AJ superfan or anything I just dont see that happening.

I'd bet my life that Usyk would shut that bum Whyte out.

Whyte looks rubbish against average HW's, imagine how a technician like Usyk would make him look?

Yeah, he didn't HAVE to fight Povetkin who is *jesus christ, i just looked* FORTY ONE YEARS OLD. Oh, and he got decapitated. Or are we talking about his barnburner with Marius Wach (Who is also 41. That must be the new 30 for Matchroom opponents)

Nobody at heavyweight is worrying about Whyte.

That’s fair
