Comments Thread For: Hearn's Top Five in Order: Joshua, Fury, Whyte, Wilder, Usyk

[Curtis Harper]

I don't get your gripe with Usyk being effective, he's 6,3 walks around at 220 lbs or there abouts, super athletic and super skilled. Is that not within the requirements of being within HW?

Is his size your issue because smaller HW's have been effective like Tyson and Marciano. Luis Ortiz is only 6'3 and was a CW at one point he's supposed to be a big deal, Povetkin was an top fighter and he's 6'2.

He hasn't done diddly. I know others have entered a higher div and done well. That's why I mentioned RJJ. I would also have him beating Usyk.

I just don't like this instant ''Usyk has to be a force to reckon with at HW'' guff.

He unified cruiser weight to be undisputed that's effictively 'completing' it. There's no where else for him to go but up.

I don't understand how you can write off his credentials and size considering he's beat big guys like Joyce before although less experienced.

I don't see why Usyk can't just be good if he is effective, why's it got to be the HW's are rubbish. Seems like you're just throwing some uneccessary shade on something that remains to be seen.

Hearn seems to be doing g his job quite well as a promoter, you know promoting his fighters....
Haters are hating, fans are fanboying, Hearn's fighters make money, Hearn makes money, rinse and repeat...

Not sure what people were expecting, it's not like he's gonna call his own fighters shi[t.

Bingo, at least someone gets it.

Why is it a bad thing to be apprehensive, but a cool thing to join the hype train

Same diff, no ?

"The HW div must be crap if Usyk is effective" (not exact quote)
Is not apprehension it's a complete write off of him there's literally nothing more he could do to prove his skill

I'm personally not sure how he'll perform against the big guys so you can't even say I'm one of the super fans. I'm just saying he's got the paper credentials to be competitive in any era whether he is remains to be seen.

You don't have to throw shade to not be on the hype train.

I don’t expect him to say anything different.

Whyte is the least elite boxer ive ever seen. Might as well put audley Harrison and Charles Martin in there too.

Lmao.. true

"I'm saying Oleksandr Usyk, and I know he hasn't boxed yet at heavyweight yet, but he's the undisputed cruiserweight champion and he is a genius and I presume that he's going to be in that mix"

Clearly states he's just presuming, don't see the problem with having a guess with solid reasoning and promoting his guy at the same time since he is a promoter.

Jax I got that but I still found it utterly ridiculous ranking him 5th. I think we should all be able to agree on that.

[The Big Dunn]

Yes he is. Wilder lost to Fury. Without that title, which he shouldn't have, he wouldn't be top 5.

Wilder and Fury was a draw. I had Fury winning but officially it was a draw. Whyte is below wilder even if he lost to Fury.
