Comments Thread For: Bellew Warns Heavyweights: Stay Away From Oleksandr Usyk!

On another note, it was refreshing to see TB exposed for the overrated hype job he is.

He fought a BS line of CW, then a damaged Haye who literally could only stand on one leg.

Luis Ortiz vs Usyk

If Bellew managed to land some good shots on Usyk, I can't see how serious heavyweights would not be able to.

Usyk could be a sort of Michael Spinks for this era. Good enough at heavyweight to beat some, but knocked out when hit flush by the very best.

[Bronx2245]

Does MatchRoom have any B-level HWs that Usyk can face before Joshua, Whyte, or Ortiz? I would like to see Usyk vs. Povetkin, or Usyk vs. Charles Martin, before he moves up to Ortiz, Whyte, or Joshua!

Joyce rematch would be interesting.

Kicked his arse in the amateurs over 5 but smaller gloves and longer distance and bigger man would be a proper test.

Would be a good test

Or even Del Boy if he were to lose. Just to see how Usyk’s punch travels to Heavy because if he can’t punch at the weight Chisora will let everyone know.

His speed might be supercharged at heavy, that’s where he will get his success

People are forgetting or not aware Usyk campaigned at HW as an amatuer.

He's 6'3 and will be 225 lbs at HW.

If he can knock Bellew out cold he'll buzz HW's but not KO them.

I reckon he beats most HW's outside the top 3 of AJ, Wilder, Fury. But not those guys and got my doubts period at present. Fury isn't a good match up for him.

Also Usyk KOed undefeated 6´7 250 pounds Matteo Modugno in the 2nd round at WSB. Modugno was a 12-0 pro when he fought Usyk at WSB.

Yeah theres a gap in the market now that ggg has a loss. Expect things along the line of 'we dont hate usyk but his fans are the worst' thats usually the line they go down initially when they want to justify hating someone

GGG has achieved nothing in comparison to Usyk. GGG has never been Undisputed World Champ and he never fought 3 undefeated World Champs in their backyards back to back in just 15 pro fights.

[Andrij]

A short, volume punching, touchable Crusier sharing the ring with a Fury, AJ, or Wilder?

His handlers need to intervene, he could really get hurt by a true HW.

He needs to stay at CW

Watch him at WSB against Joe Joyce, Matteo Modugno and Junior Fa.

Povetkin is rumoured for AJ's April undercard so Usyk v Povetkin in April would be pretty mad. Would make AJ Whyte rematch a bit more stomachable at least.
