    People keep forgetting that Bellew had already been KO'd at LHW by Adonis Stevenson. So don't put much stock into Usyk knocking him out.

    Don't believe Usyk's style will lend him to be successful at HW against the elites. He is too hitable. I could even see Big baby Miller stopping him

      Usyk will need 2 tune ups at Heavyweight to compete with the top 3 afterwards. Btw he still sparrs with Klitschko who is way way better than Miller.

        Usyk vs. Povetkin would be a perfect way to introduce Usyk to the HW division, especially as a co-main event on a Joshua PPV fight! Make It Happen!

            He's right and I just happen to agree with Tony Bellew. Usyk is the real deal man. He'll give any heavyweight trouble with his southpaw stance and awkward angles. Moreover, he is fundamentally sound, scientific and a technical fighter with a strong amateur pedigree.

            He may not possess enough punching power as of yet but given his overall flexibility and ability to adjust; He has more than enough speed and footwork, to make life very complicated and difficult for any of these larger, stronger but slower heavyweights.

              He's a dead man when he move up to (HW)

              Seeing usyk for the first time is very nice but when he stepped up and faces a elite hw he's a dead man he had reach advantage and power advantage over bellew we all see that but what's gonna happen when he face a 6,7 wilder a 6,6 Joshua whyte, ortiz, miller, etc? How would he react after one of those elite puncher lands a shot ? Well in my humble opinion he better stay at a cw because if an when he step up Joshua gonna floor him so is wilder and the other elite boxer!! ���������� mark my word

                Until Bellew slowed Usyk was having nightmares with the bomber but the moment he slowed it was curtains .Tony has ended the sport as an unlikely success story , rare but great to see.

                  Disagree, Usyk must fight a giant to get used to size disadvantage. Povetkin would be a tough test but not really helpful going after AJ, Wilder and Fury.

                    Hearn will gladly make usyk vs Joshua. That way he can duck Wilder for one or two more fights
