    He beats Povetkin Parker Whyte and Pulev but he needs some time to get adjusted to the division

      Destroy Povetkin/Parker/White?

      Um.... would he outbox Parker/Whyte? Yes. Povetkin? Probably.

      BUT... If Usyk starts as slow as he did today... he would get KTFO by any of those punches from a legit HW...

      Ok... excluding Parker.

      Parker would be a good fight...

      Hunter would be a good fight for Usyk and I would take Hunter vs Usyk.

        Was it the same arm he injured this year?

          Usyk already dominated Hunter at Cruiser.

              Yes... but let's see at HW... Hunter has improved quite a bit and does pack a bigger punch now.

              Again, I have ZERO doubts about Usyk's boxing IQ... it's his apparent lack of power and how he would handle a HW punch.

                It depends if he can take HW punch. We haven't seen it yet. I would favour him against all but Tyson, Wilder and AJ at this stage. Fight with Parker would be a great one.

                    He fought great punchers in Huck and Gassiev and also Joe Joyce but i would like to see how his chin will hold with those fighters with the exception of Hunter that i have no doubts he would beat him again in hw.

                    I believe the biggest problem is that his power will not keep those big guys out of him and thats bad in this division.
