    It's funny how Usyk is starting to be labled a 'cherry pick'

    P4P.1 Oleksandr Usyk, greatest Cruiserweight in the world since Evander Holyfield, is being called 'a cherry pick' when most likely he beats everyone on Wilder's resume.

      Even Whyte probably beats everybody on Wilder`s resume, except Fury ( Fury is not Wilder`s win, lol).

      Even Kownacki probably beats everybody Wilder has beaten.

      Even Povetkin probably beats everybody Wilder has beaten.

          Which posters specifically called Usyk a cherry pick? Those that did, were they calling it a cherrypick for AJ or Wilder?

          While I don't think it is a cherrypick for AJ, if he chooses to fight Usyk rather than Wilder, what would you call it?

          Or let me ask it this way-what do you call it when Wilder takes on an easier opponent when tougher opposition is available?

          FTR, I think if Usyk can handle HWT power he can defeat any top HWT.

            Usyk and Hunter are both very talented but not really heavyweights they don't have the power for the division and would probably go 12 in almost every fight

              Nothing is wrong with that.

                Agreed, one thing for sure is that Usyk can take a punch, but how big a punch? that I don't know...Tell you hwhat, there is sure no one walking this earth that can take Wilder's punch.

                With that being said, I think Usyk can take a decent shot, I've seen him take some. He's also one of these religious fundamentalists and these guys got something different about them.

                One thing I know for sure he doesn't really have much pop, but I think the sheer accumulation of punches cant get him stoppages. If he come in Gassiev like and throws three combos in succession he can get TKOs.

                I think his best chance is against AJ tbh.


                And lastly, they are ALL chinny now. They've all been hurt, they've ALL been down.
