Usyk is taking a risk fighting Chisora. There is a good chance he loses and misses on the AJ payday. Usyk is a natural cruiserweight and has been out of serious action for quite some time.

I don't see him going far in the HW division.
It's risky every time a guy steps in the ring. If Syk can't get past Chisora, he doesn't belong at HW.
I want Chisora to win but my brain says Usyk will win. I think Usyk has enough to beat the no. 12 or no. 13 best HW. Anyone who thinks this is Fury Vs Chisora need to realize Chisora changed his style after that fight. He won't try to box Usyk. It could be a messy fight.
Usyk is not a legit heavyweight and Chisora is durable.
Decision - certainly possible. Stoppage? From Usyk?
Fair enough; Usyk ending the fight early is unlikely, but I wouldn't be shocked either. If he has the right game plan, and moves a lot and frustrates him he could get him out of there in the later rounds if he is tired, and off his game. Watch some of the Tyson Fury fights or even that kid from Germany that stunk out the place, and went 12 rounds with him on that DAZN card last year...
If Usyk hasn't grown more into the weight, if he's the same guy that Chazz Witherspoon basically quit against because he was out of shape, then don't be shocked if Chisora mauls him.
Usyk is definitely the more skilled guy, but he's never been hit like DelBoy will dish.

Ok but your first example is Tyson MF'n Fury. Of course he would make easy work of Chisora - Fury is and always has been a natural heavyweight. Usyk isn't and wasn't.
Your second example - I assume you're referring to Senad Gashi? - which ended in a blowout for Del with only marginal success from Gashi. So no matter how slippery Gashi tried to be, it didn't help him convince judges that he won more than 1 round.
So in one example, Chisora got beat by arguably the top guy in the business right now.
IN the other, Chisora got a blowout against a guy who tried to be slick.
I've yet to see anyone give an example of a fight that should convince me - either from Usyk or Chisora - that Chisora gets dominated or knocked out by Usyk. That's because the only measure we have with Usyk is his performance against a 38-year old in the twilight of what was left of the decline of his prime.
Curious to see this fight, Chisora has a wide range of fight night performances, from very good to very poor, and Usyk is a bit of an unknown quantity at heavyweight and has been inactive.
