    Watching Usyk fights, and no way he wins a title at HW

    He is really flat footed and is not even a fighter who throw A lot of shots, He is no defensive god and isnt really fast... He will have to change his entire style

    I tend to agree I think he gets hit too much as well

      I said it several times and I was called a Usyk hater.

      Most of the idiots who scream Usyk everywhere don't watch him fight. The just parrot what they heard and judge the guy based on how he looks like a vampire.

      The guy isn't that skilled apart from his workrate at the end of fights. Even Bellew who's **** average outboxed him for like 4-5 rds.

        Usyk is to big for cruiserweight and to small for heavyweight
        Far from a master defence guy , imo he gets hit often
        And I don’t think he can **** with 5he heavyweights

            He has good stuff but doesn't really shine in any department that I would say that he would be a threat for a top HW.

              I always said that Usyk is overrated and his form/style isnt pleasant to look at.

              He is in for some beatings at HW..

                finally some truth! a really good boxer, no-one can dispute that. but once the casual audience caught onto him its been insufferable listening to them talk as if they know one single FUCC about boxing. "he looks like a bond villian....wow he is a monster in the ring, i watched a highlight video of him ko'ing people" (without watching highlights or the full fight from the other fighter's perspective to see they put usyk in trouble or made him work his ass off for the ko).

                watched all of his fights from glowacki and then some. people would be lying if they said he wasnt challenged by a couple of fighters at least. his performance against gassiev however was one of the more impressive title fights i have seen in a long time. looking forward to seeing him at hw, but people are dead-set ******ed if they think he breezes through the hw division. i dont see how he beats aj or fury for instance (not including lots of other hw boxers who will give him trouble).

                  Great work rate. Technical, can go through the gears well. Nowhere near as skilled as many try to make out. Was the best CW in what is a very weak division. OK power, OK defence. Chisora will steamroll this guy. Nash out.

                    Whut? I literally rewatched Bellew - Usyk a coupla hours ago and I was thinking exactly how unusally mobile Oleks was for a guy his size. Whether it'll be enough against the bigger guys I ain't at all sure - I suspect likely not - but moving straight back? Standing in one spot? Did you have a particular fight in mind?

                    Either way, yeah, dudes refreshingly light hearted and seems absolutely up for a challenge which I guess is all you can ask of a fighter. I wish him well and I reckon he can probably at least beat some of the top 10 guys even if the big 3 just have too much size and power.
