Comments Thread For: Malignaggi: Usyk Can Become Decent Sized Heavyweight

[johnbook]

Yeah back in the 90's Holyfield could roll with the bigger boys. Now days Holyfield wouldn't have as much success as they are even bigger now than back then

?
Holy fought Bowe, Foreman.

Usyk is a real fighter that actually faces the real competition in the division he competes in. Hopefully he doesn't get infected with the matchroom blueprint plan fighting bum after bum.

I believe he'll take 2 or 3 fights with lower level heavyweights, pack on the weight/muscle responsibly and then face the top guys.

Depending on how he takes a punch at the weight I wouldn't put it past him to outwork Aj and get a close decision. Aj isn't all that impressive really...

Neither is Wilder

There was never a big money at cruiserweight.

Chicken or the egg. There's no big money there because anyone who breaks through goes and loses at heavyweight.

If Wilder lands, usyk goes down. if not, I can see Usyk outboxing Wilder.

Usyk would get stopped by the big guys

For me he outboxes Wilder even easier than Fury did. Of course if Wilder catches him it’s over but Usyk has the style , stamina and discipline to fight to instructions and make Wilder look pathetic. Usyk has more of an offensive than Fury. Both Fury and Usyk power is similar

Prime Holyfield beats all of today's heavyweights. Wilder would be the easiest, Fury perhaps the trickiest based on style.

I think Usyk beats Joshua, schools Wilder but maybe Fury is a style mess for him.

I think Usyk outboxes Wilder, loses against Joshua by a KO. Fury fight is 50 -50.

Sure. Holyfield is top 10 hw of all time.

I'd put him around 6 or 7. He's probably just a dominant reign away from being top 5.
