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

[j0zef]

I don't think it's fair to say that. Usyk is adapting to HW, growing into that weight. Chisora made it a rough fight, and Usyk learned a lot from that fight and adapted extremely well.

As far as power, AJ got severely rocked and dropped by old Wlad, and got KOd by Ruiz. Neither one of them are elite level punchers. CHisora was in trouble against Usyk in the 7th. Usyk can absolutely trouble AJ with his power.

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.

Yeh that’s the same old Russian who poured water on the hopes of Hunter, POV is a legit top 10.

You mean the draw that most people thought that Hunter won? You gonna try telling me that Wach was top 10 too?

Pov WAS a legit top 10. And It still took two hospitalizations with Covid for Whyte to beat him.

Hmmmm I suspect Usyk is being taken too lightly, his boxing ability and pedigree make him a threat to Joshua and it isn’t as if he is overly small compared to Joshua

It wasn't all that long ago that Tim Bradley and a few others at ESPN were picking Usyk over AJ...He hasnt exactly looked super at heavyweight, but he has more than a small chance against AJ....

What if either AJ or Fury lose?

By most people do you mean a handful of biased Americans? Hunter was lucky to get a draw.
