  • Oleksandr Usyk at Heavyweight

    After last night's fight has your opinion on Usyk competing at Heavyweight changed or has it stayed the same?

    I always felt that Usyk would do well at Heavyweight, but my confidence has increased.
    "I see something."

    I don't think he's ready for the top 3 guys at the weight: Fury, Wilder and Ortiz. Jarrell Miller is also maybe too big but he might be able to just outbox him to a decision if he stays on the outside all night. I think he can do damage a little lower in the pecking order and can beat the Anthony Joshua, Joseph Parker or Dillian Whyte type guys.

      Firy would destroy him.

        Usyk would beat Fury easily. Fight wouldn't even be competitive, I bet anything that Usyk knocks him out with a body shot in the first or second round. Only Wilder would have a change against Usyk due to his power.

          Fury said he struggled with Cunningham because he was being outboxed.

          Usyk will give him trouble

          Plus Fury doesn't destroy anyone he just boxes them.

            I don't know about that. I think Usyk will have a very good chance of beating Fury. People are going to call me crazy, but like I said, "I see something."

            We obviously need to see how Usyk looks at Heavyweight first, but I'm starting to get the feeling he will do more than good.

              People think these guys will walk down Usyk easily.
              Usyk has sensational footwork. Not good footwork, but sensational footwork.

                I think Usyk can do a number on Wilder. Of course Wilder's power is something he has to be extremely careful about.
                Wilder has scary power.

                Neither fight would be easy. Fury will not be able to do some of the things he does against Usyk though.

                  Going to be interesting to see who they have Usyk fight first at Heavyweight.

                    They talk before they think, we haven't even seen him at HW yet. He's jusy unified the CW division and he's the same height as Ortiz and weight as Wilder, pretty much, arguably got better skills than any HW but they're writing him off.

                    Wilders easily outboxed and isn't gone be able to rely on Usyks engine gassing out to get the knockout.

                    Fury is not gonna be able to outsmart him so easily as they both have great ring IQ's. I didn't see how his stamina held up against Wilder but it sounds like their wasn't a lot of punches so my guess is Fury may be able to be out worked.

                    AJ can be outboxed as well although not quite as easily as Wilder.

                    They're all vunerable beating Usyk is not a certainty at all at this point.
