Comments Thread For: Promoter: Usyk Can Face Ortiz, Povetkin or Lebedev

[JWHardin]

Ortiz, Povetkin and Whyte beat him. I just don’t see this guy knocking off top guys at heavyweight. Maybe that guy that sued Wilder(Breazeale),but none of those guys listed above.

Don’t know y people r always writing off Povetkin, I mean the guy has only lost to the top 2 and gave Joshua all sorts of problems. But people treat him like he’s trash.

Not sure. I was going to say maybe it is because he is a former PED cheat, but so are Whyte and Ortiz...among others.

Make it happen, I got King Kong Ortiz sleeping Usyk when he catches him!

They aren't serious. They are just talking. They don't want that smoke this early for Usyk. He has to develop and grow into that division first. I would first put him in with a journeyman or at best some gatekeeper before I would a contender like Ortiz, Povetkin or Whyte.

True he is slow but he is always there when you least expect him. Well at least he'll walk him down all night, forcing him to get on his bicycle

Yeah ... you need a bicycle to get away from a tortoise.

I agree with you and Povetkin gave my boy trouble. Parker was tricky too so I sang his praises for a bit and saw him get annihilated by Whyte so now he is garbage. So I will have to see Povetkin fight another top guy to fully back him. I think he beats Whyte but I thought Parker would too so who knows

Maybe he catches up with him in the changing rooms after the fight. Usyk wins a unanimous decision

I hope not, cause I’d actually like to see him develop, not prematurely derailed cause someone got too excited.

What most people seem to forget that Ortiz has good footwork for an old man. He has good spacing and distance and knows how to cut off the ring well. His kryptonite is power not speed. So if Usyk decides to run too much he would run the risk of getting stopped and knocked out.

We'll see won’t we!

True, lol, all of them. But wasn’t Povetkin brutally tested before the Joshua fight ?

If so, a clean version of Povetkin is still very formidable.
