Usyk vs Wilder?

[moochi]

Love the Romani Race comment.. Fury is not a Romani .

Fair points. I appreciate the input

No problem. I really think something just clicked into place for Fury after the second knockdown in the first fight. Something spiritual, or mental, or adrenaline and instinct, or maybe all of the above.

From that point on in the 12th round, he really took the fight to Wilder in a way no one ever really had before. And that continued on into the second fight as well.

But in my honest opinion, just because that happened with Fury doesn’t necessarily mean others would do the same.

The only other current established HW I personally give a good chance of beating Wilder would be Anthony Joshua.

But Ortiz is very heavy on his feet, which is a perfect target for Wilder's style. Now Usyk is light on his feet just like Fury and Ali. he moves around quickly and dodges straight shots

I gotta admit though, Fury can punch. Usyk - we don't know that yet but from what I've seen so far, his punches might be too light for HW. However, his punches output can offset that shortcoming

He's not a heavy handed man but he's not feather fisted. He lets his hands go a lot, he's fast and accurate. He also keeps a high pace. That's how he stops his opponents. Touch you over and over again, and that pace he keeps wears you down. You're tired and get sloppy. Usyk is now coming forward and hits you with some quick punches you don't see coming and the fight is over. Not sure he's able to do this against guys like Fury and AJ though.

We do not know if/when Wilder will be back, but going by his last few fights I would say Usyk may win on points but not by KO. Wilder will have a similar weight as Usyk but significant height and reach advantage. Usyk will have to be perfect for 12 rounds.

Wilder is finished. This Idiot blame everybody but himself. He has no desire to improve as a boxer

Idk..... If Wilder isn't completely mentally done I could see him knocking him out, he didn't look too good vs Chisora

Just because Tyson Fury is the only one who has beaten Wilder doesn't mean he is the only one who can beat him though.

I actually think it would be an interesting fight, Usyk looked completed outsized in the first couple rounds against Chisora, he found a way but it looked very dicey for a while, however Wilder wouldn't have that weight to throw around, power definitely but not the mass, and the lack of punch volume, balance and technique would suit Usyk somewhat. On the other hand, Usyk does get hit and it would only take one shot.

Usyk is nothing like Fury. Not big enough, not strong enough, his reach is smaller.

But I would love to see this fight just to find out if Usyk can keep Wilder away for 12 rounds. But I doubt it will happen. usyk wants a title fight, Wilder brings nothing to the table.

If Fury & Joshua are tied up for a year and Wilder does continue boxing this would be a good fight to make, pity WBO can't parachute Wilder in to fight Usyk if Joshua has to vacate to fight Fury.

Not sure if Wilder is as durable as Chisora, if Usyk puts it on Wilder like he did in the mid rounds that might be enough to neutralise Wilders power, the early rounds would be a tightrope for Usyk though. What other options does Wilder have, Ruiz would be up there, Whyte if gets past Pov seems unlikely, if they could make Usyk v Wilder for a belt that would be Wilders best path, I mean it would make no sense ranking wise but this is boxing.
