Right it's only his second fight . is pbc or top rank gong to put any of their heavyweights against him ? I don't think so . that's why I hate these damn promoters ITS THEM that's not giving us the best fights NOT the fighters faults . it's their jobs to make it happen . these promoters don't wanna risk anything for the good of the sport .
Seriously, Usyk proved something by beating Chisora?

No more than he would have proven beating Brazil and Ortiz tbh. But yeah, I think Usyk will struggle with the more physical heavyweights like Fury, HrgovicComment

Well, in as much as I don't like it, I wouldn't blame them. I blame the so called fans.Right it's only his second fight . is pbc or top rank gong to put any of their heavyweights against him ?

We complain a lot. Stage a 50/50 fight I.e whyte/pov, they will complain that whyte should have seated it out and wait for title fight. Stage a wilder/dauhapas, they will complain that wilder only fight bums, stage a uysk/ chisora, they will say the fight proves nothing, stage Crawford/pac,, they will say pac is too old. Bring and your best fighter and he looses his 0, they will say he has always been a bum.
Its a crazy sport. They just have to do what they have to do, that's how we have shaped the sport.Comment

Well, if Usyk is legit opposition for AJ, than Kabayel is also legit fight for Fury. they have the same best win at hw.Comment

Oddball logic ,Usyk is a mandatory and could have faced AJ at any time . Kabayel was never a undisputed champion and is being selected out of the blue . There’s at least 3 available guys to give Fury a better fight . There’s nothing legit about picking Kabayel over a Usyk who is not being picked he’s in a spot that requires AJ to fight him .Last edited by REDEEMER; 11-18-2020, 04:23 AM.Comment

I am sure there are many more dangerous fights for AJ than Usyk.Oddball logic ,Usyk is a mandatory and could have faced AJ at any time .

He answered some questions, I think, but probably not enough to prove conclusively that he can beat the division's elites. he showed that he most likely has the most nimble feet of anybody in the division, and he showed that he's got fast hands with sharp and accurate punches. He didn't prove one way or another, however, that he's capable of dealing with tall heavyweights with long reach and accurate punches, because Chisora's just not that kind of guy, and didn't prove that he's comfortable handling big, slugging heavyweight punches either, he looked visibly rattled by those, especially early on. The question of whether he's viable as a heavyweight puncher wasn't really answered one way or another. He got Chisora on the back foot a couple of times and had him rattled, but that wasn't all that frequently, and Chisora's toughness seems to be an inconsistent variable - we've seen him absorb a lot of fire in some fights but we've also seen him be the victim of some bad knockouts - he's got a Schrodinger's chin.
I wasn't very convinced that Usyk would be a viable HW when he set out to become HW champ. After the win I'm maybe slightly more of a believer, but still not all that convinced when all's said and done. Chisora's a solid pro but he's clearly levels below the division's best right now. Either way I agree that it was pretty ridiculous that the WBO made Usyk Joshua's mandatory when he'd yet to fight at the weight.Comment
