Comments Thread For: Usyk Embraces His Transition To The Heavyweight Ranks

[Pigeons]

I hope he has as much success as Holyfield when he transitioned to the HW div. No question that Evander is the greatest cruiserweight followed by Usyk but will Usyk be remembered as great heavyweight as well, only time will tell.

Holyfield had a diet of HGH and anabolic steroids to help him in his journey.

Spong is a respectable first fight at HW, but it won't prove Usyk is elite level with the big guns. If he was to beat the winner of Parker-Chisora while the winner of Ruiz-Joshua 2 takes care of IBF mandatory in Pulev, then we can say Usyk belongs with the big boys and would be fully derving of his WBO Mandatory slot.

Usyk just can't punch hard enough for those guys at the heavyweight...

Can't wait
