could Bellew beat Usyk at Cruiser?

[MoneyKasha]

what do you think, good match up?

Bellew has shown that there's definite grit in him; getting hit with Haye's vaunted power and not folding says a ton.

Usyk doesn't hit harder than Haye, and Bellew has shown that he's got pretty good straight up boxing craft.

Can Usyk keep standing when one of the bombs bounces off of his chin? who knows?

No. I like Tony, he's got a lot of heart (and he won me some money tonight), but he did get kinda lucky. Usyk utterly outclasses him though. I think Glowacki and Gassiev probably beat him too, maybe even Breidis, though I need to see how he does against Huck first.

With those 4/5 guys and also Lebedev if the fights get made CW is going to be the best division over the next two years

Oh yeah, was forgetting about Denis, still a tough, tough guy and a canny boxer. And yeah, shame the division still gets overlooked by many. It'd probably help if there was a bigger US presence at 200 but it's been tumbleweed since Fast Eddie and USS.

The Gassiev fight was close, without the knockdown I think Lebedev edges it

I dont think so but I also thought Bellew was going to be in a morgue this time tonight.

the thread title should be ' could tony bumlew win a round V usyk'

the answer would still be a resounding: no

[deathofaclown]

I don't think so, but it would be a good fight.

Usyk has been very good so far, but i wouldn't say he's looked totally spectacular. He definitely shows good patience in the ring though and doesn't rush his work, and he's super talented of course. He looks pretty seasoned as a pro for a guy with so few professional fights.

Bellew would be an excellent opponent for him though and could bring the best out of him because i don't think Bellew would give Usyk chance to get comfortable and admiring his work like he sometimes can.

I think Bellew would be even better if he goes back to Cruiserweights where he should be so yeah I would say he is a legit threat to beat anybody at Cruiserweight why not
