Is Usyk still going to clear out heavyweight

[Earl-Hickey]

After he beat Bellew everyone was saying he will school AJ Wilder and Fury but now you don't hear about him

[Cutthroat]

No, but after he beats Pedvetkin the hype will return.

His fan boys will be more than happy to ignore the fact that Pedvetkin is 40, off a stoppage loss to AJ, hasn't stopped anybody in 3 years when he was busted with PED's, and hasn't beaten a single top 10 HW in over a decade though.

I can see him going after Joyce too who he beat years ago, that'll also boost the hype even more.

Usyk is physically too weak to be in top10 of HW, let alone win belts.

No chance.
Bellew was able to land and win rounds. Despite what people think, there are boxers at hw, and the punchers are that much stronger.

He's skillful, but let's not get carried away. Bellew was able to land and win rounds. I won't be anticipating any history making accomplishments till I've seen him in with a serious top 5 HW.
I do like the Povetkin fight though, what a great entrance to hw. Povetkin is a very good hw, can box, good feet, and has power.
I can get 100/30 odds on Povetkin, that's great value and I will be having some of that.

[SN!PER]

Usyk will get bullied around and hurt badly by the biggest heavyweights.

I give him a fair shot against a Povetkin, Rivas, or Kabayel.

[Lomasexual]

Usyk is great. He's seriously talented and seems to be a good guy, who doesn't take things too seriously and likes to have a laugh.

He could easily have continued at cruiserweight and become the best ever in that weightclass - because the really excellent cruisers always seem to end up at heavyweight, fighting for much bigger paychecks. If he bucked that trend, he could have gone down as the greatest cruiserweight in history. Or he could have got beaten. Who knows?

He is more skilled that Fury, AJ or Wilder. But he's significantly smaller, and he doesn't have a huge punch either. How will he cope with Wilder's power, when Wilder just walks through Usyk's punches in order to land his own? How will he cope with Fury's awkwardness? How will he cope with AJ's smoldering good looks?

I wish him luck, and I hope he gets some good paydays. But I don't know if I can see him even winning a legit belt in the ring at heavy.

[Mammoth]

He'd beat Joyce again, that's for sure

[Mooshashi]

He will weigh in at HW at 210 or so. Wilder weighed in at 212 vs Fury. So why would Usyk be "weak" at 212 and be "bullied" by HW's when Wilder is fine at the same weight?

[BillyBoxing]

No, but after he beats Pedvetkin the hype will return.

His fan boys will be more than happy to ignore the fact that Pedvetkin is 40, off a stoppage loss to AJ, hasn't stopped anybody in 3 years when he was busted with PED's, and hasn't beaten a single top 10 HW in over a decade though.

I can see him going after Joyce too who he beat years ago, that'll also boost the hype even more.

Are we still in the hype when a man is an Olympic champion and a four belt unified champ in a division?

[Rusty Tromboni]

No way he beats Fury. It's just too much of a size and skill disparity. Fury is a spoiler. If they were the same size, Fury's defense would make him a tight favorite.


Now, when Usyk packs on +20 pounds, I'm sure he works Wilder and Joshua. They'll always be dangerous, but there's levels to this game.
