    I am pretty sure Joshua and Fury beat Usyk, but he can compete with all other guys.

      If Usyk and his team weren’t concerned or have trepidation’s themselves he would have moved up a lot sooner. He’s noticeably smaller than the other eastern euro heavies. He moves well but he doesn’t have the range or power of others before him. I think he’s pretty ****y, which might be exciting if he fights that way at HW. Still like Princecool and Slayer have said there’s nothing he does that blows u away. I think with his confidence and skill he can beat sum good challengers, but without a devastating punch he will have to grind them out. That also keeps him in longer fights, against bigger punchers. Hopefully he adds more size and lives up to sum of the hype at least for boxing’s sake. He will need to starch sum heavies for me to get really interested though. Course I don’t doubt he gets carefully maneuvered into sum sort of title shot pay out.

        I’m not even sure if Chisora has bad performances per se. It’s more the fact if you have a bit if decent movement and a jab, he’s very beatable and can be made to look lacklustre. If you stand and brawl with him, he’s going to get good work in.

        We always say like “Depends which Chisora turns up” - But the reality is it mostly depends on the style of a fighter in the other corner.
