    Don't do it Usyk, usually this backfires. When you go up in weight and put muscle mass on, it affects your body when you try to cut it. Especially at an older age, you might get away with it in your 20s but not your 30s. I had also said that Canelo was making a mistake going up and coming down again, I think we saw the affects of it in this last his last fight as those up and downs at a later age are having affects.
    Usyk has millions of dollars and high end trainers, but I'm sure he'll take your forum post under consideration.

      I disagree with this.

      He was clearly diminished for Tarver 1 and still won.

      Tarver 2 was a good punch. Tarver did well.

      But by Tarver 3 his reflexes had gone entirely. He was always a reflex fighter not a technical fighter.

      Prime RJJ before jumping to HW dismantles Tarver any day of the week it's not even close. Prime RJJ was a freak of nature.

He wasn’t willing to walk through fire. Fury and Joyce will eat his punches gladly to give their own and usyk don’t like that. I could see him winning a decision vs joe but that’s a tall task. I just don’t think he can beat those 2. Maybe a couple others as well
        Usyk beat Joyce in the WSB tournament. 5 rounds, no headgear, 10 oz gloves.

            It’s his durability at heavyweight that’s the issue

              Why do you Boxing Trolls make up soo much stories

                He needs to take lessons from the likes of Kownaki, Ruiz and Miller those guys have no problem eating all the time.

                  If he feels more comfortable at cruiserweight, he should go back.

                  Nobody expected him to beat Joshua, even twice, if he achieved what he meant at hw, than that is it.
