Usyk had harder time boxing Cruiserweights than Heavyweights?

Winning is winning

He has only three fights at HW. He lost 4 rounds against way past prime gatekeeper Chisora. Hypejob glass cannon bodybuilder f**ked up his face. If someone fights 750 times in a division and 3 times in another division, that's normal.

Hypothetical
A fighter retires 70-0, through multiple divs
EVERY FIGHT was ''life and death''

And ???

Could be multiple reasons:

1. Cruiserweights are generally a lot faster than HWs.
2. Usyk's techniques and skills have improved with time now that he is in the HW.
3. He has gained muscle weight and may be improved his neck and t****zius muscles. Meaning better punch resistance.

I think Usyk will be challenged by Ruiz if the latter is focused and in his fighting shape. Ruiz has fast hands. I also see Usyk losing to Joshua in the rematch and squarely beaten by Fury. If Wilder hits him clean, Usyk's going down but that would be an interesting match-up.

Moreover, his HW career isn't that great TBH. Chisora is slow and washed up while Joshua fought the wrong fight. He did not try to hurt Usyk but tried outboxing him.

Can't see Usyk loosing to Joshua in rematch. He is no Ruiz, he is way better. I would also favour him to school Wilder too.

Only Fury can beat him... in shape Tyson Fury I mean.

No, no, NO: we don’t do statistical evidence around here. You’re in the wrong side of the hood, this time!

Exactly...Usyk is no Ruiz.

Ruiz has fast counterpunch combinations, Usyk doesn't and plays safe and tactical game. Therefore, Usyk is going to concentrate on outboxing Joshua, not just going in for the kill the way Ruiz did (in the first fight). Both Ruiz and Usyk do get hit and Joshua is much more powerful than Usyk.

If Joshua comes with the same game plan, Usyk wins again but I doubt Joshua will try to outbox Usyk. He will use his physical attributes and in that sort of a game, Ruiz will do better than Usyk.
