Comments Thread For: Froch: Usyk is a Serious Threat To The Heavyweight Division

[MDPopescu]

Huh? How do you mean? With a few exceptions nearly all fighters of whatever ethnic background are pretty much done at the top level by the age of 35 or so... has there been some research done to show that Slavs are particularly susceptible to aging or something that I maybe missed?

... you're right... (but I didn't mean "ethnicity"... more like "Northern stock", tbh...)

[kafkod]

... just like anybody else, Usyk is after big money... I don't think he is able to change much at his age -- he's almost 32 yo, and the Slavic stock fighters don't have the required DNA material to last long in this sport... I guess that Usyk is only after a big-big money fight vs Joshua (no matter the outcome)...

Usyk is Ukranian, like the Kitschkos. They were still prime till near 40.

I've heard otherwise from different sources, that he was actually a Brit. It's just a rumor. However, I don't know how true that statement is or not.

Yeah I'm think GayJ fights him in April.

It would be too early for him to fight Joshua. He should go for Miller, Breazeale, Whyte, Povetkin or Ortiz. He's got plenty options

out of those he should only consider breezedale

going from ****ing tony bellew to any of those others is too big a leap lol they'd all kill bellew

... the Klitschkos were literally "giants"... (excuse me, but I always remember Lemeshev... and Kovalev, as of lately...)

His technique will give any current heavyweight a tough time.

The only question is if he can take the punch of some of the heavier hitters like Wilder or Gay J.

[jackblack008]

should be a good start to fight the winner of Chisora vs Whyte in April 2019

Usyk another example of the pedigree of Ukrainian fighters. It's instilled in the culture to be a warrior and not use excuses or cowardice to act your way through a career like today's USA boxing culture.

Usyk right now easily beats Wilder, probably stops him. Joshua is the only man that can beat Usyk right now, but if Usyk adds the muscle mass without losing those reflexes he will have a 50-50 chance to beat AJ.

Well Povetkin had life and death with Huck years ago, and Miller has done nothing but get fatter with each fight. I think he'd do ok.
