    In the HW's, anyone can knock you out. The reason power is important is that having a strong punch keeps guys off of you so that they're not constantly bombing you. If you don't get their respect, you're in for a long night. That's my concern with Usyk.
    I'm excited to see him develop as a HW though as he's one of my favorites. Seems like it's taking forever to actually get things rolling however.

      He may do well against the smaller and less skilled heavies, but the big hw's that are used to taking big punches from big guys will have no respect for Usyk's power, will walk right thru them and likely knock him out.

        Bellew was his height and had already fought at heavyweight twice

        Gassiev was taller than Usyk

        And the three others in his last 5 title fights were only 1-2" shorted than him.

        You should do research before you comment at least

          Hes big enough my only worry is that he could lose abit of mobility. Still going to be a handful for anyone.

            Everybody is threat to everybody in this HW era.. I thought the previous 2 eras were bad, but at least they had a few guys that stood above the rest and kept things looking legit.

                  Exactly! These guys will gladly exchange blow for blow with him.

                    I just dont think Usyk Will hit hard enough. And i dont know if he would be able to take a Heavyweight punch. Guess we will see.

                      Ok, like I don't know, I already responded to that. He has plenty of pop and that was my point. Go see the way he erased Bellew in one shot if you disagree.
