Were you impressed with Usyk?

**JakeTheBoxer** · 11-01-2020, 03:17 AM

I am not much impressed. He is clearly top skilled fighter, but he took too many punches even from slow Chisora.

Usyk is Haye/John Ruiz level heavyweight. But I think that even Parker is very dangerous fight for him.

Joshua stops him badly. Fury outboxes him or stops him.

Honestly he�s always started late and it�s the same guy to me, what he does is take down your every movement it�s something you do in ams but he does it on a pro level, I think usyk takes any HW.

Do you think he can trouble Anthony Joshua?

Usyk is a midget as compared to AJ...

Nope, not impressed. That isn't to say he sucks, but he does not make a good heavyweight. He just doesn't have the power to keep the big guys honest. Could you imagine him vs Tyson Fury? Fury could box his ears off all night long or just bully him far, far worse than Chisora did. He needs to put weight on stat, but then his frame isn't that big (narrow shoulders/small back).

That new 'super cruiserweight' division or whatever seems like a gift sent from the heavens for Usyk, as I don't think he can beat Fury (both Tyson AND Hughie), AJ, Whyte, Povetkin, Dubois, Ruiz, Wilder (can probably outbox but ultimately gets caught) and quite a few others. I think Hunter beats him at HW and we'll wait and see what Gassiev is like at HW, who I always thought would make a better HW than Usyk as he has power and is improving as he is young.

I said before the fight that if Usyk can't style on Chisora then he won't make it at HW and I stand by that. If he gets bullied by Chisora, who to be fair was in amazing shape, then he gets bullied by a myriad of other HW's.

revelated our bet was a waste of time - I can't honestly say who won. I thought 7-5 Usyk and two judges thought the same, but you could easily make the case for a draw, EASILY. Maybe my eyes need checking because the commentators seemed to be watching another fight, I thought Chisora took the first 4 rounds no question. Depends on how you score aggression vs effective striking. In any case if Chisora won you couldn't call it a robbery.

Yeah he doesn’t have the power but he’s a Floyd at 147 at HW

He is nothing like that. Mayweather always had enough power to keep all 147 guys away.

Fury is Mayweather of hw division.

Anyway, If usyk cherrypicks well, he can have some good wins in division.

**Robbie Barrett** · 11-01-2020, 05:21 AM

His defence just isn't good enough. He get's caught way too often and when he fights the bigger punchers it's lights out.

**Lance98** · 11-01-2020, 06:41 AM

He hasn't looked good at heavyweight. I am just waiting to hear the excuses once he loses badly like his buddy loma.
