    Usyk not big or strong enough to trouble the true Heavyweights

    I think he doesn't really believe he can beat Fury or Joshua, but wants a big payday before leaving the game. If he was a couple inches taller he'd be a massive threat but he's not

    He was getting manhandled by Chisora in the clinch. It was borderline rag dolled.

    He gives beaten up by many of the top guys

      I think Chisora could have paced himself better, he ran out of gas but still gave Usyk the fight of his life

        Yup. He could have could have still won the early rounds even if he calmed down a little bit.

        He was also have success with his jab from the outside.

        What surprised me was how tentative Usyk was when Chisora wanted to engage. He wanted nothing to do with it

          He came to division to challenge top guys. That is what are elite cruiserweights supposed to do.

            No he wasn't at all.

            Maybe people need to rewatch the fight because there was plenty of times were Usyk was pushing Chisora back. Easily tying him up & walking him backwards.

            Not too mention Chisora is easily one of the strongest and most physical fighters at HW.

              He gave Usyk problems for the first 4/5 rounds, but that was because he didn't pace himself, just went flat out, balls to the wall, from the opening bell. If he'd paced himself, it would have been an easy fight for Usyk.

                He did get rag dolled in the first round, but that was because of a combination of Chisora's size advantage, and the fact that Usyk is a notoriously slow starter, while Del Boy always starts fast.

                Once Usyk got going and Chisora slowed down the whole dynamic of the fight changed.

                  That’s not what I remember especially early on before he gassed.

                  What I remember is Chisora hitting him with hooks and body shots rattling his head around and Usyk looking uncomfortable.

                  I bought the PPV so I’ll see if I can watch it again
