    Ruiz knocked AJ out, ran him out of America, and chased him across the Sahara. I think it will be a lot easier.

      Usyk is a fine fighter, but clearly wouldn't stand much of a chance against Fury, or even Joshua. Certainly not a level of Holyfield, who was the cruiserweight champion and successfully went up to heavyweight.

        Keep in mind that ESPN has Usyk on the p4p list....just think about that for a moment....

          Sometimes you think, you know what I'm not gonna bother witj NSB and then someone unleashes absolute gold like that.

          I swear I got a psychosomatic headache just imagining poor old Enzo and has massive head in there with Usyk.

          Love Enzo as well. Class guy and actually a good fighter who always left it all there and suffered some of the worst KOs I've ever seen.

            Entertaining fight, and Usyk definitely showed why he was so good at CW. I think it's pretty remarkable that he managed to win a fight against a guy who had three stone on him and veteran chops more or less purely with footwork. That said this wasn't the dominant win he would have wanted. Chisora came out and gave it a really great effort, but he's a completely different story than fighters like Fury or Joshua who have more height, more reach and much more ring IQ than him. I'd pick Usyk to win against anyone else because his footwork and precision is probably without equal, but the questions about power and resilience at this weight are still there. I think Chisora made a good point in his interview, where he said that at HW you can't just box all the time, at some point you have to fight. That wasn't tonight, but eventually it will be. Still, I like Usyk, so I hope he carries on and does well.

              AJ ran from Andy in a purpose built stadium out in the barren dessert. I don't think Usyik inspires that type of arrangement.

                Usyk is supremely skilled fighter who can box on the back foot , has great timing and punch variation , is stamina is insane and he takes a good shot in there but he will get beaten by ko against either Joshua or fury....if chisora was able to nail him Joshua will finish him with his shots..fury will maul him like a rag doll

                  I could see Joshua/Usyk being like Loma/Lopez - Usyk too wary of Joshua's power to be effective.

                  Usyk has great footwork but can he really out move Fury - I don't think so. Fury by decision or gradual beat down and ko.

                  Wilder/Usyk - wilder ko after losing nearly all the rounds

                  Dubois/Usyk - Dubois tko/ko

                  Usyk/Parker - Usyk dragged into a firefight as long as Parker comes in shape and then loses. If Parker is out of shape Usyk by points.

                    Let’s keep this in perspective, Chisora is ageing, has 9 losses (coming into this fight), he’s not a massive puncher and he’s short for today’s division and yet he pushed Usyk hard. Usyk is really riding Loma’s wave, he’s nowhere near as good, yeah he dominated CW, but so did David Haye and Tony Bellew they’re hardly GOATs of any kind, he’s certainly no Holyfield.
