    Usyk planning Cruiserweight return after Tyson Fury rematch

    Is this a smart move?
    Oleksandr Usyk could return to the cruiserweight division five years after moving up to heavyweight.

      What else is there after the rematch if he were to win?

      Zurdo might be a good payday for him

        Zurdo is actually a bad matchup for him. Body puncher. High volume. Iron chin.

          Smart move to entice benavidez, bivol, canelo...

          After fury there is nothing left at hw for him but a knockout loss by anyone able to land on him...Usyk was hurt in almost all of his heavyweight bouts on the low

            I like zurdo but he is slow as fvkc. Underwater slow. Usyk would pick him apart worse than bivol did

              It’s cus he fought bivol at lhw

              Did u see how he was much faster than a cruiser weight champ last fight?


              Usyk is also slowing down. He won’t be used to the work rate and speed of Zurdo

                I would love to see him fighting Opetaia.

                  Easiest path in waiting out the drafting.

                    I understand him.

                    Opetaia, Ramirez, Bivol- Beterbiev winner, maybe Benavidez are more lucrative options than ...big strong high risk low reward guys at hw. And he alreay beat Joshua and Fury which means the biggest name sin division.

                    If Usyk can go back and drop the weight, go for it. A very ballsy move.
