Better boxer, yea, but as much as I like the guy, I fear for him at HW. Those guys hit a hell of a lot harder than Bellew, and some of them have better stamina too. I don't think Usyk belongs at HW, but I wish him the best.
Usyk far superior boxer than Joshua and Wilder

id favour him heavily against wilder and give him a good shot against joshua. people dont seem to factor in that hes gonna be a bigger versiion of what he is now at cruiserweight. wilder and joshua carry power but if they tag anyone clean they are going to do damage, against usyk they are less likely to manage that. neither of them really impose there size on smaller fighters like wlad didComment

I think it would be a bad idea for him too gain much weight. He is never going to punch as hard as AJ or Wilder. He needs to keep his weight low and his speed high to outbox them and avoid getting hit with flush big punches. He probably weighed at least 210 pounds in the ring tonight so he is only a few pounds lighter than Wilder.Comment

it'll be interesting.
size aside, you could say that flat footed Joshua moving in straight lines would be tailor made for Usyk, stylistically. Bellew can move and throw in ways that someone like Joshua can't.
Usyk would get to grips with Joshua's style with ease, but can he avoid being caught?Comment
