Comments Thread For: Hearn: Usyk vs. Chisora-Price Winner Would Be Huge in UK

I don`t see that happen because Usyk is N. 1 by WBO, Price and Chisora are not even top 15 by WBO.

Where was Witherspoon in the rankings?

Joyce and Bellew are bums, Olek Usyk fought to the level of his poor competition in those fights. Olek may look terrible whooping Fury and Joshua for the same reason.

Sounds like an excuse any poor boxer could use and it looks like Uysk is going for a top 20 Heavyweight next rather than a top 10.

Yes you are right tho, Usyk has the best chance against Fury. Fury has already struggled with a cruiserweight.

I don`t see your point. Witherspoon was Usyk`s welcome in division fight.

SMH.....you certainly know that Bellew was Usyk´s 3rd big fight in the same year. Name just one elite boxer who has 3 big fights per year against elite opposition ?? 2 of them were undefeated World Champions. Usyk was tired of boxing and just wanted to rest. Because in February 2018 he fought Briedis in Latvia, then in July 2018 Gassiev in Russia and Bellew in November 2018 in England. Name me just one elite boxer who is willing to do this ?

I don’t think a guy as seasoned as Usyk was tired, he came into the fight as the rounds went on, if he was exhausted I would have expected the opposite. Bellew outboxed him for the first 5 rounds fairly. I would have possibly thought Bellew might be stronger or bigger, but that wasn’t it, he was winning the early rounds with some
slick skills. Keep in mind that boxing technical skills are Usyks claim to future fame, I’m not convinced he has the same pedigree as a GGG or Loma in the skills department.

Don’t get me wrong I am not an Usyk hater, he’s a very likeable character and I want to see the HW division be exciting, but I’m just not convinced by Usyk at HW yet, he’d need to dominate some better opponents first.
