Comments Thread For: Hearn: Usyk Could Face Takam, Winner or Loser of Whyte-Chisora

[Mammoth]

Best to start slow. Takam coming off the Chisora loss or Chisora coming off what will surely be a Whyte loss is perfect for Usyk to get his feet wet at HW.

It will be very unfortunate if the so called Derreck war Chisora KO uysk on his HW debut.
That's almost a disaster for him and his promoter.

Well... we're talking about really unlikely things, like the lottery drawing or the chance of being killed by lightning (300000 to 1).

We'll have to wait till he tries it to find out if I'm right, but I think he has the tools to give anybody in the division a real fight.

Only time will tell.

[Laligalaliga]

I think he’ll hold up well. His skill level is above anyone at heavy (bar maybe Fury) and his stamina is top class.

He’s been in with plenty of big guys at amateur and in the WSB, including Joyce (who he battered).

I cannot argue this comment cos all you said is correct. Let's see how he copes at HW cos I know it's a different weight entirely full on monsters.

Hahahahaha... this is HW man, a well gauged over hand punch can end the fight irrespective of whoss winning on the cards.

I don't add uysk KO Chisora rather the other way round. Uysk can only out point him at best while Chisora can KO.

From what I've seen of Usyk training and preparing for fights, it's clear he makes 200lbs by restricting his calorie intake during camp. I'm not saying he starves himself, but if a fighter denies himself "extra" calories while training hard 3 times per day - which Usyk does - he will lose weight naturally during the course of the camp.

So all Usyk needs to do at HW is eat as much good, healthy food as he feels like eating during camp, and come in at his natural weight, which will be fine for a guy with his style of fighting. He isn't going to try to overpower 250lb HWs and push them around the ring - he's going to be using speed, skill and mobility to outbox them.

Fair enough. I am a HUGE Usyk fan, so if that is true I am a little more excited for his move to 200+.

He is feel. He is very feel. And he will be very VERY feel at HW if you are right.

Usyk could probably beat most heavyweights. Not sure about the top 4 AJ Wilder Fury Ortiz but i feel he'll give them good fights too

Sorry but ortiz hasn`t don anything to be N. 4.

N. 4 is probably Povetkin or Whyte.

LMAOOOOO Whyte would knock USYK from here back down to cruiser weight

Would would be abused and would quit on his stool, he woudnt win a round
