Comments Thread For: Bellew: Usyk Can Beat Wilder - Not Joshua or Fury

[Monty Fisto]

I doubt Usyk beats any of Wilder, Fury or Joshua, but it would be interesting to see any of those fights.

Usyk is the better boxer.but that str8 right is going to land..not sure whats in Wilders gloves but when he lands its game over

Usyk has the fight the most perfect fight ever. I mean, he can’t even let a piece of wilder’s glove touch his face.

People keep saying **** like this but how is that any different than any other person Wilder fights? EVERYONE wants to avoid his right hand. Does that mean every time it lands it knocks people out? It's impossible to beat Wilder if you get hit by his right hand?

And as far as Usyk is concerned, why would he need to fight a "perfect fight" and not even let a "piece" of Wilders glove hit him? He's never shown a weak chin as far as I know.

A straight flush from Wilder would be brutal, I'm not saying otherwise, but you can literally use that argument against anyone and I think it's BS.

"Wilder vs a Bengal Tiger? Yeah I dunno, the tiger would definitely get some bites in but if Wilder lands that right??? Game over."

Usyk like everyone else sees athe Joshua payday and his eyes turn to $ symbols. I just don't think Usyk has the power to deter Joshua, who would end it as soon as he lands big even if behind on the cards. He'd approach the fight as a more technically sound Wilder

Maybe you're right, we'll see. I like Usyk but I'm not going to pretend I'm not nervous seeing him go up against giant 250lbs monsters.

Usyk said he was purposefully letting the fight stretch out a bit against Witherspoon, and that could be him saving face or the truth, who knows, but I'd like to see him fight 1 or 2 other people before the top 3.

He has volume, speed, mobility and experience on his side but not much power. Volume and counter punching are his best bets for KOs, otherwise he'll be going 12 rounds vs these guys and that'll be tough.

I'd like to see Usyk fight someone over 6'4" and 240lbs before he takes on one of the top 3. Heard rumours of him fighting Chisora or Parker and ability wise they are both decent, but both sit around 6'1" to 6'3" regardless of the weight difference. Why not put him in with the likes of Ortiz, Breazeale, Washington, Martin, Hughie, Wallin , Schwarz, Zhang, or Helenius just to test him against a decent tall guy first? It's a big difference fighting a stocky/chunky short guy than a genuine giant of a man.
