    It’s the other way around. Usyk sticks to the fundamentals at all cost. He moves his head with his earmuffs still on. Bivol relies a bit more on athletcism and has some swag.

    Usyk is a lot more accomplished however. It’s not close. P4p numero uno.

        it's close.


        usyk doesn't have a win as good as Canelo. especially when you look at this retrospectively. Anthony Joshua will go down as a Shannon Briggs level HW.


        Zurdo will match the Bredis and Gassiev level guys.

          At similar size, Bivol would be a bigger and heavier guy, therefore he would be a different fighter. Different speed, different technique, different athleticism.

            Bivol. He stays focused and he makes people who makes other people look bad look bad.

              Tough call but of the two, I’d rather be Bivol. Bivol almost never takes a punch cleanly.

                All the while throwing a 1-2 for 12 rounds. You fans get so high on your guy after he wins and just start making shit up. Lunacy.

                  Usyk can get hit quite a bit. Bivol puts up what appears to be an invisible wall between him and his opponent. Canelo should probably stay away from that rematch unless he can put on some inches in height and reach. There’s nothing he could do differently that will get him the W. Bivol is too big and too good for Canelo.

                  Both Usyk and Bivol are great fighters though. Two of the best fighters right now, clearly. Even if Usyk loses to Fury, that won’t mean sh/t. He’d have just lost to a 6’9” beast. Fury vs Usyk is similar to Canelo vs Bivol in that the size to skill ratio of the two are just too much for smaller fighters and even fighters of their own weight class.

                  I can’t wait for Beterbiev vs Bivol. That’s one of the most interesting matchups in the last 10 years imo.

                    Let's not overhype this Zurdo win. Zurdo got a gift win over Jesse Hart, and people talking about better opposition, Joshua, whatever you think of him, is ten times better than Hart, and Zurdo, is just on Hart's level, and last nights fight was boring because Zurdo is so bad. Bivol got a great win over Canelo, but Canelo is never a 175 pounder. Let's see how he fares vs Beterbiev, but as of now, until then, Usyk is the higher of the two. Cash in

                      you're performing mental gymnastics.


                      Joshua got knocked out by Andy Ruiz. He's not elite. He went life and death with Parker(who is a journeyman level HW).


                      Zurdo was 44-0. Hart fights were close but they weren't robberies. Every fighter has that on their record. Some argue Chisora beat Usyk. Zurdo still had some good names.
