Will Usyk be a force to be reckoned with in the heavyweight division?

[VatoMulatto]

His style doesn't suit fighting bigger fighters. He'll get KO'd by any decent HW.

Could be too much too much for him to handle the biggest HW's but he's a very skilful boxer and I think he'll be better than decent.

Heavyweight is shit but not that bad. Usyk isn't even that good of a Cruiserweight ffs. Holyfield was a WAY better fighter and he needed PEDs to compete at Heavyweight. Usyk gets knocked out by all the top Heavyweights imo. After watching his last fight I have no clue why anyone would want to see him at Heavyweight.

Let's see him unify at cw first. If he is serious, he should be fighting Leb and Gassiev in his next 2 fights.

I like Usyk been a fan since World Series of Boxing but NO he too small also haven't shown much Pop vs better competition at Cruiserweight.

If it is currently at Cruiserweight who can one day be a threat at Heavyweight I would go with Gassiev, reason why is because Gassiev does have the POWER but also he is only 23 years old so he can take his time and GROW into a Heavyweight naturally

He hasn't got the power to hurt HW's, he's a pressure fighter that hasn't got the movement, speed, defence to fight on the backfoot. He'd get destroyed at HW, his style is all wrong for him to be competitive at HW.

yeah why not, 6 ft 3 isnt small, lets not forget that steve cunningham dropped fury, whyte rocked joshua, molina wobbled wilder. usyk might be able to outbox them, who knows. that polish bum outboxed wilder so why cant usyk?

Here is a video of Usyk fighting heavyweights in world of boxing.
Most of his opponents are 6.5 + tall and heavier. He outclassed olympic finalist Joice who are similar to Joshua in stature- 6.6 250 pounds.
Beat hw amateur world champion Majidov who has beaten Anthony Joshua in the amateurs.

Look at his fighting style + he hasn't got the power to be a force. He gets destroyed by any decent heavyweight.

I think I agree with you.

He doesn't hit hard enough
