    Yeah power is a huge element, I think the majority of these HW’s will struggle to land clean on Usyk though

      Usyk will definitely keep the same pace, there is no evidence to suggest he won’t...

      Obviously he will have to be extremely cautious of one punch KO artists such as Wilder but he also has a far greater boxing IQ than the likes of Wilder so that beg’s the question can Usyk utilise his skill to neutralise the disadvantages in size and power?

      I’m not sure but can’t wait to find out...

        Good point about his age, he’s an exceptional athlete but time isn’t exactly on his side
        Exactly, if he had of started his heavyweight career around the ages of 23 or 24. He'll be next to unstoppable and unbeatable. He's such a great and gifted athlete with a high ring IQ he could have been the next Muhammad Ali.

          😂I wouldn’t go that far but he’s a phenomenal fighter, I’ve been on the Usyk hype train for years and ever since I watched him live in 2013, I’ve been convinced he’ll be a real problem at HW

            No question, he is an exceptional talent and definitely would be a force to be reckoned with at the Heavyweight division. If Evander Holyfield and David Haye can make the leap and settle into a heavyweight, then I don't see a reason why Oleksandr Usyk couldn't do the same.
