Who Should Usyks First Opponent At Heavyweight Be?

[champion4ever]

Jarrell Miller.

No he is too big. he would wear him down with his weight.

[champion4ever]

Adam Kownacki

**** that Whyte v Chisora winner that should be the fight I don't think he should get in there with Ortiz or Miller yet

Usyk is a proud man and good fighter. He will want a challenge so I say put him in with Oscar Rivas. Would love for the Colombian to get some shine and Usyk a legit HW challenge. Rivas should beat The Brazilian in his next fight.

Jarrell Miller.

Miller is like 300 lbs and his work rate could be a problem for Usyk I guess he could box him and maybe big baby gets tired late

What do you guys suppose would be Usyks ideal weight at Heavyweight? 220-225?

215, like Wilder. Any heavier and he may lose his best attribute....speed.

Wouldn't surprise me if it was Joe Joyce since he already fought and beat him in the WSB Tournament.

He's 6'3" but he's got a frame like guys who are 6'5" so I think he can put on some quality size. Esp since he's in his early 30's. I think it's good to bulk until you start losing stamina. We won't know where his limit is until we see him actually do it.

I really can't say at this point. All I know is that heavyweight division will become even more deep and competitive with the addition of one Oleksandr Usyk.

Not sure about 220, I guess he could try gradually over a few fights. Problem is he might find going too high up slows him down too much. He should weigh in at 207 in his first fight at heavyweight and 214 second fight. Then decide whether he should gain or lose pounds based on how he performs.
