Im not here to change your mind, Im here to tell you the guy will compete just fine with almost everyone in the division aside from Fury, he may be too big and skilled. He has everything you need to win a strap. You can bookmark this.


    There is some nonsense there, Do you think a man as smart as Usyk would happily take shots from Bellew, just to get him tired out? - Bellew has been capable of putting peoples lights out. Usyk would never take that risk. the reality is Tony could be competitive with him, but it took everything he had to do it for half a fight.

    Let’s not forget that Breidis had a very close fight with Usyk that could’ve gone either way. He shipped a lot of shots in that fight too.

    Usyk is one of my absolute favourites but there’s no point in being blinded. He isn’t necessarily difficult to hit at times, which isn’t good news for him if he’s taking shot by a much bigger men.

      Usyk came to division to get a pay day fighting Joshua. If he can do some noise is yet to be determined.

      He is not even that small, he is bigger than Povetkin.

        Posters these days likes to pretend they have the boxing brain of the late Emmanuel Stewart when in reality they have the boxing I.Q of Algeri's trainer.

          Some ‘analysis’ has been done with total bias and agenda beforehand so it’s about a useful as a chocolate teapot. Give the guy his shot against Chisora and if he gets sparked out then do some evidence based analysis.
          Haha spot on mate. OP just a biased hater of Usyk.

            His left hooker Hunter already has some success in division and he is smaller, so..

              I saw his 1st fight as a heavyweight against a weak opponent and decided he was not good enough to threaten the best heavyweights. He show just average power and no great speed and his punch output per round was also average. I doubt he will ever be a champion at heavyweight.

                Im not blinded at all, he has his shortcomings like any fighter. I didnt say he would dominate the division. I said he could compete and he had everything you need to win a strap. He will likely take a loss or two on the way. Thats a death sentence to modern day boxing fans, its just part of the game to me.

                  I really like usyk hes fun to watch and hes quite funny

                  But as soon as he gets clapped by a genuine heavyweight hes going sleep

                  Chisora may be the one dont count out an animal against a smaller guy

                  He lands the punch he did against takam and usyk will be amir'd

                    Usyk will make Chisora look old and slow, but that's not hard to do at this stage.

                    Andy Ruiz Jr. would probably catch him and put him to sleep.

                      Agreed, he will have too much for the aging Chisora who's due one of his bad performances, and this will be spun as some great victory and proof Usyk is a genuine killer at heavyweight even though we all know Chisora is little more than a tough gatekeeper on a good day, and below gatekeeper on a bad day.
