Until he looses he is winning.

Usyk already fought Parker dude. In the World Series of Boxing. Usyk won.

I believe folks aren’t getting what I’m stating. Every HW world Champion had power. Usyk does not at HW. Ali KOd elite boxers Liston, Patterson, Prime Foreman. 37 of the 56 wins were by KO he had great power. Holmes should have stopped boxing in his 88 loss to Tyson. Up to that point he’d had 48 fights and 33 KOs. Age caught the better of him and as he stretched his career in later years so too went his power.

Again your using reference to who Usyk hasn’t knocked out , it’s impossible for him to fight Liston ,Patterson and Foreman . You can however say he has a 50% k.o record at heavyweight with 2 fights see how misleading that is ? This is what you did with Byrd and inflated a pretend knockout percentage. Byrd did not have k.o power and there’s no evidence Usyk won’t stop other guys based off 2 fights .

Most guys in top level fights in title fights when it’s boxer vs puncher don’t get knockouts anyway ,so it would prove little . If Usyk held a title and didn’t go against Fury or A.J ,possibly Hrgovic he would almost always be up on scorecards ,getting a knockout won’t change much collecting wins for him . It’s almost plausible if he fought the big 5 that can actually box , Fury ,A.J , Hrgovic, Joyce and DDD he would need to win on points .

There is also a question if Joshua, DDD and others are able to follow usyk`s tempo?

they have big muscles. Muscles use a lot of oxygen..

[Boxing Goat]

Please do and go take a peek at their records and who they KOd. Do you actually watch boxing?

Lol!

It's you that know nothing about boxing. Both were known to wear down and stop fighters in little heavyweight era's. You're so naïve it's laughable.

Lol @ power monsters

I want to see how he does against one of the super HW's. By that I mean one of the giant 6'6" or taller HW with elongated man levels of reach. How will Usyk do against a taller, longer, heavier opponent that can move? Sure he can avoid plenty of punches and he has stamina for days. He may be able to beat most of the top in the division but I doubt he can be the best in the division.

I do not fault him for trying though. He is continuing to test himself and at CW he really has no future.

Usyk won't have the luxury of being able to pot shot as much from the outside if he ever fights Joshua. Joshua is taller, longer and bigger. Usyk will have to take risks by closing range to land shots and get inside Joshua's straight punches. That's where the risk factor comes into play. I would love to see it but I would definitely favor Joshua who is taller and longer than Chisora, much fresher and has more boxing skill as well as power.

I think AJ will beat Usyk. AJ has a brutal left-jab. I think he will probably break Usyk down. AJ does has that poor chin tho....

As for Usyk. Chisora is a decent HW but he's not in the top-10 and he doesn't have a particularly hard punch.

Usyk just doesn't have the height and reach advantages he had at Cruiser weight, that's why Chisora caught him a good few times with swinging punches. AJ has a big size and reach advantage on Usyk. He could just do a Wlad and grab and hug Usyk when he gets close. Will be a lot easier for him than Chisora.

I think this is a good point. AJ always looks like he has stamina issues. He looked fine in Ruiz II but he will probably come in bigger against Usyk

One thing is for sure. Usyk can go even 15 rounds with anybody if he can take big shots. Nobody will tire him.
