Comments Thread For: Usyk Plans To 'Face Top Fighters Straight Away' at Heavyweight

[AdonisCreed]

I don't think Usyk should move up to HW I don't think that's a good idea!! Let the man have a run at cruiserweight first and then go up later on. Right now is too soon.

Usyk would absolutely destroy Andrea Ward. Kovalev cleanly beat him the first fight. Usyk is light years beyond what Ward could even imagine. Bellew would have beat Ward that night.

You may not like Ward ( for whatever reason) but please do not get carried away!?!?!

Kov is history.

Bellew is not even qualified to be a Ward sparring partner!!

Lets see how the Usyk story plays out before making brash statement about being "light years beyond what Ward could even imagine".

Usyk would beat the brakes off of Breazeale. I hope he gets that one first.

Dont mention Ward with Usyk please. Ward never even left his backyard and needed corruption, protection and dirty tactics to win. Usyk is a real world champion, beat all the champions in their backyard and was actually undisputed champion, no dirty tactics, no corruption, no paid off judges, no balls punching, no billy goat tactics.

Would be interesting to see him against AJ since AJ moves around so slowly and ploddingly. Still, I can't imagine him having a great career at HW.

If this fight is in the US it will more than likely be against an American or a fighter based out of the US anyway. Washington, Martin, Ruiz, Kownacki, Miller, Hunter, Arreola, Kauffman, Jennings all come to mind. Kownacki or Ruiz? Hunter rematch? I doubt it’s Miller, Washington or Arreola. Jennings & Martin coming off losses. If he said top fighters then we will have to wait.

Breazeale & Molina...

At least Ward isn't punching out women so we can take a positive out of your comment...

Ortiz turned down the Usyk fight according to Usyk's manager. Apparently he's still holding out for a Wilder rematch and doesn't want the risk!

Ortiz manager came back & said he never got any offers or phone calls. Ortiz is fighting Hammer March 1. Usyk's manager also claimed Parker turned the fight down too but same thing. Where is the offer sheet? Both parties deny receiving any offers. I think Usyk could beat them both if he avoids the big punch...

I think those 4 would make a great little mini league tournament. All 4 would have a chance in each fight but Ortiz looks like he might have too many miles on the clock to get through 3 big fights in 12 months.

Ortiz stamina can't be any worse than whytes.

I doubt whyte would have the balls to take on either of those guys.

Parker or Whyte? Ortiz is a dangerous first step...

I dont see Ortiz as this dangerman looks at you scary that's about it Parker or white would beat him so would povektein alot was made of outboxing wilder who has zero boxing technique all his fights before were v journeyman be easy win for a class act like usyk
