Is Uysk a natural heavyweight?

[WillieWild114]

Uysk started off as a cruiser weight does that make him a fake heavyweight since he bulked up to 220 lb.

i think anyone who makes under 200 pounds for years these days would not be considered a natural heavyweight

wilder was a lighter heavy who competed very well in the division, say as usyk, its hard to do but some can do it

[Coverdale]

Yes, I personally think we should return to the original 8 divisions.

When he was detained not long ago, you see him next to law enforcement and he looked like a heavy weight. Anyone weighing over the CW limit is technically a HW and most of them cut weight to make 200. These guys are 215-230 walking around normally.

You just answered your own question.

yes but u can clearly see that he has bulked up quite a lot since for example fighting the likes of bellew and he was a CW for many years so i dont think hes just stopped cutting water in this case, he has actually bulked up quite a lot muscle wise

I believe he is a small natural heavyweight who cut down to compete at cruiser.

Compare him to Jai Opetaia or even David Haye he's a lot bigger and more solid than those guys and they weren't small cruisers.

He's bigger than he looks, over 220lbs and very lean at that weight, if he had the amount of chub the average heavyweight has on their flabby physique he'd be 240

david haye is the same height as usyk and more muscular than him as far as i can see

No, similar to David Haye coming in at HW around 210-220, he didn't bulk just stopped cutting. Why would either bulk and lose their speed advantage they generally have over opponents. Even much smaller guys rehydrate 15lbs over night so why wouldn't bigger guys with more volume to hold water pack on more weight?

you might think so but they just look bigger at heavy to me

not sure if that means anything
