Usyk is bodybagged by any top 5 hw

[Zmerai Khan]

You're overrating the quality of the HWs... this is not a talented division. This is a division where fighters like Travis Kaufman are fighting Luis Ortiz, and fighters like Eric Molina, Johan Duhuapas and Artur Szpilka are getting title shots... and if Usyk moves up, he immediately becomes the best boxer.

It's still a jump in weight, and not a wise undertaking this early in his career. But I'd love to believe he could have a Michael Spinks-moment before his career's conclusion.

Usyk will be 32 before his next fight. How long would you prefer him to wait?

Usyk fanboys proclaiming his greatness.
I hope usyk fights the top HWs....but weightclasses matter.
Wilder came in light vs Ortiz and was 225, 6'6, 83 reach.
USYK has a 78 inch reach. Joshua is 82. Fury is 86.
I don't expect Mikey Garcia to beat Spence. Same logic. Skills matter but at at pro level, usyk is the one that has to get inside. Good luck with that when the other guy hits hard and will have a full training camp just to practice hitting your southpaw movement coming in. Now if usyk had rjj or Floyd athleticism, he could have a much better chance but he doesn't.

Wilder was 214 against Ortiz, which I'm willing to bet is about 10 pounds less than the weight that Usyk steps into the ring at.

Well, he had his hands full with Bellew - and don't expect Usyk to salvage a fight the same way against the Titans.

If this were 1918, not 2018, you'd be on to a relevant point. But obviously there's a lot left on his odometer. Unless, of course, he finds himself career-shortening tilts at Hw.

I only see the big three being able to beat him.

majority will root for a small usyk in HW

lol no he didn't

The guy is a tool. I recommend not to waste time on him at all.

Look at this self praise:

Yeah, or just, yeah know, somebody who actually bases his opinion on fact. Endless hours of footage exist. Most of it is available for free. You too can have an educated opinion substantiated by evidence, if you only try.

After that would it then be reasonable to expect this trash:

It's still a jump in weight, and not a wise undertaking this early in his career. But I'd love to believe he could have a Michael Spinks-moment before his career's conclusion.

In other words dude is not taking age and experience into account and he somehow omits the obvious comparison which isn't Spinks but Holyfield.

lol no he didn't

Oh ****** me. How could I have forgotten!?
Usyk blew him out in the first round. Complete one-sided drubbing.


And here I was oddly recalling that Usyk had been down on points.

Different strategies.

Do you really think Marciano and Moore were the same size? Duran and Hearns? Olivares and Arguello?
