    Would it be a good idea for Uysk to fight at Cruiserweight and Heavyweight?

    Uysk said he is going back to the cruiserweight division and I don’t know why he won’t fight at both divisions and be the first cruiserweight/Heavyweight title holder ?
    just stay at a weight between 198-203 lb ?

          do u mean fight at 203 as a heavyweight guy? if thats what u mean then he would get waxed by AJ fury and lots of other heavy guys, he needs the extra weight & power he has got now at 220 plus or whatever he is

            Fury had a struggle KOing a 209 lb Wilder who has way less defensive than Uysk. Uysk at 220 lb couldn’t hurt AJ even throwing punches at maximum pressure. Holyfield did it and Roy Jones fought in the heavyweight division at 195 lb why can’t Uysk do it ?

              Holyfield fought in an era where he was getting hit from 220 pound heavyweights less Bowe and Lewis. Jones fought one mediocre smaller heavyweight who had his hands tied behind his back by a referee that enforced the rules on excessive holding when every other referee ignored that rule when Ruiz fought.

                i think usyk did hurt AJ at times during their fights & had enough pop to keep him honest so he could do his work type of thing, same with fury, usyk was 224 weighin, usyk would be weaker, be affected by heavy punches more & have less power at 203 than at 224, that would be enough to tip the scales from hero to zero

                    Maybe I'm wrong but you do realize he was probably entering the ring 210+ at cruiser..
