2 questions about Usyk

[MoneyKasha]

1. Do you consider him a top 5 ATG Cruiserweight

2. Will he be able to make a splash at HW or is he too small? doesn't have the power

He's not too small. I don't get how 6 ft 3 is too small but people were Luis ortiz was the boogeyman at 6 ft 4. Fury said his toughest ever fight was against cunning ham who was shorter than 6 ft 3 and Joshua lost to ruiz who was shorter too.

Its not just height you ***ing ****** otherwise Paul Williams would have been a light heavy and not fighting at welter for most his career.

He doesn't exactly look small to me and lots of great heavyweights weren't giants either you clown. People act like fighters over 6ft 6 and 18 stone were only invented in the 21st century. History shows u don't need to be gigantic to be the best in the division.

Aren't you the same guy who was saying that Fury was having a bad camp

1. Do you consider him a top 5 ATG Cruiserweight

If you take into account only clean ones (and not cheats like Holyfield) -- yes (provided the very Usyk is clean).

2. Will he be able to make a splash at HW or is he too small?

No. Physically too weak (provided no steroids).

Yeah I was, his trainer came out after fight and said that he was injured for some of it and wasnt sparring much .

He was obviously a good cruiser-weight, but as I have stated many times before on here? Usyk does not have any attributes which you can describe as great 'From my observation he is a straight up and down SOLID fundamental fighter'.

If you are a fighter moving up into the heavyweight division you need to be great at something 'David Haye had abnormal punching power/speed and a sublime defense, Evander Holyfield had incredible durability/endurance, plus multi-dimensions to his boxing game' It was these great attributes that negated the potential size/strength advantage that their heavyweight competitors may of had over them etc

Usyk as a fighter does not have any great attributes, but the media is trying to push this perception upon the boxing community 'That he this technically revolutionary fighter, who does things we have never seen before' If people would just use their own critical thinking skills and observed Usyk 'You will see that he is a straight up and down fighter, who is just GOOD in every single area'

Tony Bellew was dead at the weight and was competitive with Usyk, and in periods of that fight? He was out boxing Usyk. David Haye with a injury in the first Bellew fight, was STILL out boxing Tony Bellew 'In those first 6 rounds' And that was a David Haye who had come back from a career ending surgery according to medical experts.

The point I am making here is that 'Oleksandr Oleksandrovych Usyk is completely overrated' I will go as far to say? He is benefiting from this new positive stereotyping, where Eastern European fighters from the old soviet nations are regarded as technically superior to other fighters 'Toney Bellew is the only fighter who seems to think Usyk is something great'

Give David Price a 8 week training camp, and I would give him a chance of beating Usyk at heavyweight 'I do not highly rate Usyk at heavyweight at all'.
