Comments Thread For: Oleksandr Usyk is Named as WBC "Champion in Recess"

[BoxingIsGreat]

Usyk is my boy and I was relieved when his fight was canceled!

Takam isn't a style he should have debuted with. It would be nice if he could test the waters with someone like Price or his ilk, not a very skilled, bigger boxer like Takam. He could've lost that one, IMO.

Having said that, skillwise, Usyk would be the highest skilled boxer at the current heavyweight division.

Fair enough. We'll see.

I think it means he can come back anytime and get a direct shot at whoever is holding the belt at that time.

I'm assuming Breidis-Glowacki will be for the WBC belt now.

Parker is better than you are giving him credit 4. The AJ fight was fixed garbage. Losing to Whyte shouldnt make him a leper. Whyte was ranked higher than Ruiz. Whyte showed he could **** with a prime AJ.

Maybe AJ minus a concussed head pre fight crushes Ruiz next time. But at this point you have to put him back in the crowd with Ruiz, Whyte and Parker. AJ was never dominate in any of those fights.

Parker needs to to have a good showing in his next fight but its not like Whyte out classed him. Parker could possibly win rematches with AJ and Whyte while losing to Ruiz in a rematch.

All this does is set up more fights in the future. They look like 50/50 fights if fought on fair ground and could generate a lot of interest for who ever come out on top while Wilder, Ortiz, and Fury go at it.

Ortiz would be smart to let Wilder fight Kornacki before Fury so that he could maybe get a belt easier.

I don't where you got that from but my point was that Parker matched skills with Ruiz. I scored the fight for Parker but it was close.

Nothing in my post said anything about Parker not being skillful so I don't know what you're talking about.

I think itd be pretty cool to see Ruiz vs. Usyk for all the belts 1 day. Skill wise Usyk is the ONLY HW that can match Andys skill.

Besides Usyk, there are other more skilled fighters in my opinion: Parker, Fury, Ortiz (Old & Sick).

[Ajvar]

Ruiz will walk Usyk down.
