Usyk vs. Ward
Re: Usyk vs. Ward
I want Ward vs Bellew for the heavyweight championship of the world.
Re: Usyk vs. Ward
I think Beterbiev trashes Ward if they ever meet... Beterbiev has been kicked down stairs by Al Haymon.
Re: Usyk vs. Ward
Face it... Ward could beat a Heavyweight as inept as John Ruiz -- outbox him every round ... so could 7 or 8 Light Heavyweights.Tarkus wrote:I want Ward vs Bellew for the heavyweight championship of the world.
Re: Usyk vs. Ward
I'd expect Usyk to win. For me the question is whether it would be by decision or stoppage.
Re: Usyk vs. Ward
Usyk would literally destroy Ward. Simply, he is bigger and better....

Re: Usyk vs. Ward
Usyk is definitely not better. The question is if is size and power advantage are enough to compensate that. Also, if Ward is allowed to freely punch Usyk's nuts, the outcome will be the same as with Kovalev.
Re: Usyk vs. Ward
Yes, Usyk is much bigger, and a little bit better than Ward, and I can not imagine Ward's attempts to hold and wrestle with Usyk, it would be useless. I do not want to think and write about low-blows, I am fed up.....boxing_rocks wrote:Usyk is definitely not better. The question is if is size and power advantage are enough to compensate that.

Re: Usyk vs. Ward
That would require either Bellew or Ward to actually hold a heavyweight championship of the world.Tarkus wrote:I want Ward vs Bellew for the heavyweight championship of the world.

2. Bellew and Ward will become HW champions.

Re: Usyk vs. Ward
Certainly far from 0% that Bellew can call himself a Heavyweight champion. For God's sake, Briggs or Oquendo was about to have that honor.

WBA "Regular" or "Interim" straps don't count as real championships.SaadOffTheDeck wrote:Certainly far from 0% that Bellew can call himself a Heavyweight champion. For God's sake, Briggs or Oquendo was about to have that honor.

Re: Usyk vs. Ward
You said a championship, not the. I couldn't care less about any of them. They count them up, bellew could get one same as Charles Martin did.klitoris wrote:WBA "Regular" or "Interim" straps don't count as real championships.SaadOffTheDeck wrote:Certainly far from 0% that Bellew can call himself a Heavyweight champion.

Re: Usyk vs. Ward
So what? Martin/glazkov was for a full title. He could beat either of them.

Re: Usyk vs. Ward
Making a pretty big assumption about ward at 200lb, but if he were fast and strong I'd say he could hustle a decision
Re: Usyk vs. Ward
Uh, Usyk would completely demoralize and destroy Ward. He'd also beat AJ in the same night too.
Re: Usyk vs. Ward
Top light heavyweights don't fight top cruiserweights very often, given the 25-pound weight difference. Would be stupid to do unless said light heavyweight starts by fighting intermediate-level competition and catchweights.
Re: Usyk vs. Ward
Usyk is "better" than Ward? Based on WHAT? Besides blind nationalism of course? You guys have to stop with this crap. He's
Bigger. Surely. Better? Stop with this nonsense. The only reason he could beat Ward is he might just be too big. There's reason there are weight classes. Ward just came up from super middleweight and now you want him fighting guys who will ultimately be heavyweights.

Re: Usyk vs. Ward
That's what Ward did at LHW, and that's what I think he will do at CW. He will milk RNS fighting a couple of 200-lb nobodies and only then take on a top CW.Lackeos wrote:Top light heavyweights don't fight top cruiserweights very often, given the 25-pound weight difference.

If anything, an eye test says that Usyk is worse in every aspect (except punching power and possibly chin), even in punching technique.diddy wrote:Usyk is "better" than Ward? Based on WHAT? Besides blind nationalism of course? You guys have to stop with this crap. He's

Re: Usyk vs. Ward
These friggin euros are always looking to the "next one" as "the guy". It's funny.
Give Ward his due. You may not like him for your own reasons but he's a marvelous fighter. He's Floyd Mayweather without the outside the ring baggage.
Ward has beaten a who's who of opponents.

I wouldn't compare him to Floyd. Young Floyd was a killer. Ward has always been a boring one.diddy wrote:These friggin euros are always looking to the "next one" as "the guy". It's funny.
