Comments Thread For: Wladimir Klitschko Backs Usyk To Do Big Things at Heavyweight

['b']

He is going to get brutally knocked out. Why are they moving so fast to make him a Heavyweight? he’s doing just fine rite now.

No money at CW after Bellew - who would he fight? He can risk getting KO'd by Dorticos or fight Breidis again (which was a very close fight).

If he loses at HW at least he is getting paid big money. Skill wise he is pretty darn good, not amazing but his flashy style can be mistaken for next level prodigious talent (I doubt he moves like he did against Gassiev when he is at HW, too much wasted energy especially if you can't gaurantee a KO on your opponent).

He is better than most current HWs based on skill though, perhaps all of them (barring a prime Tyson Fury), but it is a very average era for 'skill' in the HW division but they are not lacking in power.

He'll earn a good paycheck by running the 'Eddie Hearn AJ Gauntlet' which will end in him facing (and losing to) AJ - not before he makes bank and then either retires or tries to angle for a Fury / Wilder fight depending on their status at the time.

gassiev is 6'2 1/2..usyk is 6'3 next to bellew who I think is 6'3.5

boxrec and wikipedia both have gassiev at 6'4 and 6'3.5. When Bellew and usyk get in the ring i think that's when people will see how much bigger usyk is than bellew

The height means nothing he's a big guy what was holyfeild Tyson fraizer three of the top ten of all time were alot smaller than usyk. The chin matters most and if you got a chin like those guys your in with a shout bellew is one of my fave fighters for the way he transformed his career around from the Stevenson ko but usyk is levels above Stevenson won't end to well for bellew this

Hes a lil small but hes got the ability to cause the top dogs problems. I’d have him beating alot of the better heavyweights too.

bellew is bigger than usyk,he's competed at heavyweight before and has a lot more weight to shed than usyk,gassiev's height is inflated.. we have that a lot in boxing, all sports in general

[sportbuddha]

Usyk can definitely transition to HW no problem, probably bigger factor is whether he has enough power, last 5 fights gone late rounds or full distance as he’s stepped up.

Lmao I don’t know how the hełl you came up with that conclusion.

“He can risk getting KO'd by Dorticos or fight Breidis again (which was a very close fight).”

If these are risk, what the heck do you think is going to happen to him at Heavyweight?

Uuhhhh, MONEY is gonna happen you bongo brain

What’s your point? That has nothing to do with my original point. Congratulations to him on the money he’s going to make but I’m a man I don’t care about other men financials that’s female stuff. I’m talking about him being knocked out at Heavyweight.

He wants to fight AJ but his last 3 or 4 fights have went the distance. AJ would literally knock him out the ring. In my opinion it’s not going to end well for him

[Noelanthony]

He'll have to get on the juice because at the moment he's way too skinny for the bigger guys of the division in AJ, Big Baby Miller, Dillian Whyte, Tyson Fury. They would flatten him in weight alone. Just another fighter looking for a pay day. AJ will catapult him out of the ring with one punch LMAOOOOO

He virtually weighs the same as Wilder and with better fundamentals.Yet all those guys beat Wilder because of weight?
