Comments Thread For: Denis Lebedev May Push For Mandatory Shot at Usyk

While i think Usyk can beat some good heavyweights, he would have some troubles with big big heavyweights with the like of AJ. I think Usyk can beat Bellew and Parker

Why not? Usyks footwork is the best I've seen at that weight, he really did fight like a big Lomachenko vs Gassiev. He was brilliant , I think if he doesn't get tagged clean while he's throwing at same time that he can win rounds vs Joshua and keep him turning and tire him just trying to stay in touch on scoreboard.
Joshua is improving and is a decent boxer but if Usyk can make him have a high work rate I think Usyk wins a decision if he doesn't get tagged clean

That's a big IF for 12 rounds verses a natural heavyweight. I am thinking Tyson vs Spinx while your thinking Spinix verses Holmes. It's boxing so you never know.

Denis is on the slide but he's still a very tough out for anyone.
I think it'd be a good fight. He'd almost certainly do better than Gassiev and a lot of others fans would deem acceptable.

He's still a top 5 CW and arguably beat Gassiev. In fact you could have a strong case for him being undefeated. He was robbed blind vs Huck in Germany, Jones was roided to the gills and it changed to a NC and Gassiev fight was razor close (I felt he edged it).
He's the best CW Usyk hasn't fought already.
He's a worthy opponent.
