Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder: Usyk is Not a Threat To Me, He's Too Small!

[Tails]

People are making it out to seem like Uysk is Malignaggi or something.

The dude is not that small and I'm sure he has enough pop to keep someone from just walking him down.

I think his main problem will height and reach when dealing with the really tall guys but everyone is going to have that same challenge.

I don't expect him to run through everybody but I expect him to he a solid addition to HW and pull off a few good wins while losing some as well because it is HW and one good shot is all it takes.

Usky is overrated

He is too injury prone at Heavyweight, needs to be at Cruiserweight or light heavyweight... He will lose to almost all the top 5 HWs and Derick Chiorsa would of beat Usky I bet. Usky injury prone my opinion.

[Matrixboxer37]

If he stays healthy enough possible. Wilder, Fury, even AJ beat him now..

And Ruiz was too small for AJ too

Ruiz is heavier than Joshua

The Chin

He'll outbox wilder all day long, but with that power that he has, fk, it almost makes sense.

I'm not sure that a prime iron chin Mercer could deal with his power.

Mercer's chin, in his prime, was the gold standard of Chins. Tex cobbs chin was comparable.

It has to be Oliver McCall...has he ever been even knocked down.....

And Ruiz was too small for AJ too

Height does not equal size.

Ruiz was shorter, but bigger in weight. So in boxing terms, Ruiz was bigger than AJ.

There’s no such thing as height class in boxing. Or else Tyson, Roy, Golovkin, Margarito and Diego Corrales would have all had to fight eachother, because they’re all 5’10”-5’11”.

Szpilka, another southpaw, is roughly the same size as Usyk. He did great...right up until the moment, well you know.

[methodcal]

He may do well against the smaller and less skilled heavies, but the big hw's that are used to taking big punches from big guys will have no respect for Usyk's power, will walk right thru them and likely knock him out.

Most know this and with unbiasedness would say it but.....

Bellew had a gut at 210lbs lol, in what reality is Bellew the bigger man, I don't think he even rehydrated against Usyk.

Gassiev is an inch shorter & Usyk had a significantly bigger back, chest, shoulders etc.
Height isn't the only determinng factor, body frame & strength is too.

Usyk is another guy out of a handful that currently defeats Wilder. Hes probably even more problematic then Fury because he doesn't clown around and is relentless. Wilder would be very confused in this one.
