    I believe Usyk beats many heavyweight prospects

    I believe he beats Ajagba or Hrgovic.

    Hrgovic wouldn`t be allowed to use dirty tactics if he faces Usyk. Usyk is not some old journeyman like Mansour or Molina and other guys Hrgovic fights. And we don`t even know if Hrgovic can go 12 rounds.

    Ajagba is big stiff guy who was rocked by Kiladze. And slow like hell.

    Dubois is different story. I can see Dubois hurting Usyk pretty bad, if Usyk can`t take his shots. But Dubois has huge muscles, he can get tired as well.

    But I guess usyk will never fight Hrgovic or Ajagba, he is there to challenge top guys for the title. Dubois - Usyk for WBO would be great.

    Sure he beats lots of prospects and many so called prospects are not very good. But I don't think Usyk gave up being the unified cruiserweight champion to beat heavyweight prospects. I think his intention is to become the world's heavyweight champion and I don't think he will ever win any version of a world's heavyweight title.

      Ajagba is going to crash as soon as he fights opponents that can deal with his power + size combination and have offensive abilities on their own.

      Not a lot of heavyweights fight chisoras step in frontfoot, using his size well, pressure fighting style. From memory, only Joyce, Kownacki, Dubois and Takam fight this way. He just lacks the power to keep opponents off him and doesnt really fight well at close range, just moves around until his opponent tires.

      I expect Usyk to look better against opponents who give him more room to breath and fight him at midrange (but who are not giants).
