    Usyk is much bigger and better than Byrd. Usyk makes the 200 pound cruiserweight limit and probably weighs 210 pounds or more on fight night. He will be a lean 220 pound 6 ft. 3 inch heavyweight. Byrd was a 6ft. 1 inch fat 195 pound boxer and a light puncher. Usyk will be a good puncher at heavyweight just not a Wilder or AJ type puncher.

      Yeah, if you say so. If Bellew can box with him and win rounds, and land punches, imagine when he takes one from Joshua.

      Nope, can't agree. He'd beat some of the poor ones like Wilder, maybe.

        He will beat some of the guys 6'4 and below infact most of them. Gets blown away by the top 3 giants.i think he will get a belt at some point

                I'd put Mairis Breidis in the same category too. He gave Usyk hell and who can forget that delightful knockout of Charr

                  I give him no chance, but if he does that he deserves Fighter of the Decade.

                    A big Usyk fan here but not sure about all this. He should take baby steps first.

                    When I read he might fight Takam for his first fight at the division, I was totally against it, because Takam is a pretty good boxer and mover himself. I saw an upset written all over that. Tyson Fury would be a huge trouble too.

                    He should start with the ones with no skills like Price, Joshua, Wilder. That order would be nice.

                    Stay away from pure boxers for now.
