Comments Thread For: Usyk vs. Takam Fight on May 17 or May 25, Says Hearn

I wish Usyk had stayed at cruiser a little longer but oh well. I hope his team knows what they are doing. They may be cashing him out early especially if he fights AJ later this year or early next year.

I was thinking the same thing! Big jump from Takam to Joshua! I thought Hrgovic would've been better!

Or Parker or Whyte etc

Don't bring that BS to Chicago! Keep that BS OVER THERE! And Mr. Hearn, tell Mo Hooker to follow the lead of Usyk, and call out Terence Crawford! Chicago would love that one!

I’m not seeing the angle of putting usyk and takam in Chicago being a popular sell.....Not sure Hearn really is trying to understand the American market like he says he is.....NY, LV, Dallas, Los Angeles...:now those are fight cities....anywhere else needs to have a popular hometown fighter

Nice test for Usyk and measuring stick. Stopping Takam is no easy task. If he can do it. it will prove he belongs.

I'd rather watch Uysk vs. Takam over Wilder vs. Breazeale. Moreover, Usyk has the power and skills to take over the heavyweight division.

He has the skills to take over no doubt about it

Can’t really judge his power untill he fights a proper heavy (like takem). You can’t call Bellew a proper heavy he was just a fat cruiser

Skill wise he’s diffent league to the current crop but size and power might be a factor .

Will be funny if Takam stops him, Bellew had him in trouble on occasions.

Pffffffffff!

Keep dreaming

Excellent opponent for his first fight at the weight. Takam only knows how to come forward and he's strong. If Usyk deals with him, he's a real HW.

RIP Usyk. I wish it is in UK so I could watch it with friends on TV.

Keep that thought and we'll talk after the fight

He's cleaned CW out though. He should be applauded in my opinion.
