Were you impressed with Usyk?

[JakeTheBoxer]

Name a HW who applies pressure better than Chisora? The other top HW's don't have that style so Usyk will have more time and space which serves him well.

Name the hw that doesn`t hit harder than Chisora.

I'm not thinking of pressure; I'm thinking "punching power".

Chisora is not really a danger, but Usyk might lose by KO against a serious puncher. Even after dominating rounds.

Briedis, Gassiev, Nistor who stopped Joshua with headgear, Medzhidov, Joyce can all crack. Anybody can potentially get knocked out but Usyk has proven his chin so posts about "lulz he would get sparked, HW's big don't you know!" aren't contributing much.

Very true but same applies to anybody at HW facing a puncher.

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

More like Santa Cruz at 147...

[JakeTheBoxer]

Naw not impressed. He is like brain damage waiting to happen if he continues to fight at HW.

Imagine Helenius lands some power punches. He takes him a head off.

Too basic

Usyk has that ammy style. Throws a lot of punches, good foot speed... But it is all off a straight line. He has no angles. He would get creamed moving back against any heavyweight with foot speed.

[Shadoww702]

Do you think he can trouble Anthony Joshua?

No clue! I didn't think AJ would have Andy problems and he clearly did. Even second fight was weird seeing a giant RUN from a blob.

For sure, but Usyk looks a little frail compared to former cruisers who shifted to HW.

Of course he needs more fights to really see what he can accomplish.

[Dolor]

Usyk is too small for HW. A fine boxer technically, but there is a reason why weight classes exist.

That said, Chisora's pressure style generally seems to be a problem for Ex-Soviet style boxers. I have never seen Vitali Klitschko looking as relieved as at the end of his Chisora bout (yes yes I know Vitali was supposedly injured too) - he didn't like Chisora's pressure either, and he was clearly a bigger man than Usyk.
