Re: Usyk vs Huck
They hayemaker could take usyk out imo
Yes usyk is more refine and technically better, but he's open. At cruiser Haye was crazy fast and mega big puncher. Usyk would see the right hand and he'd be in trouble from it imo
Just my opinion
Though figures valmar are too high. I like usyk and I like his speed and workrate for a big guy, but he's not tens for everything

Re: Usyk vs Huck
I agree about CW Haye, he was a very, very dangerous....I hope there is still possibility to see Haye-Usyk in 2018 or 2019.Ossyrules wrote:They hayemaker could take usyk out imo

Re: Usyk vs Huck
Tua's power can tend to be overrated. Though not as much as his overall ability gets overrated sometimes. Power was the one thing he had that made him a significant fighter. Other than that he was a plodding brawler that was very easy to outbox.ValMar wrote: You must be kidding.

Re: Usyk vs Huck
For me the stoppage was a little bit premature...
Re: Usyk vs Huck
Huck is a warrior, sometimes you have to save the boxer from himself..he was losing basically every round and was being increasingly dominated by Usyk...the referee just saved his (Huck's) face by waving it off..geronimo wrote:For me the stoppage was a little bit premature...

Yes, Tua had the lethal punch power.....
Tomorrow, we will read here that Ali had not been skillful, or that Vitaly had the weak chin, or something about the featherfisted Tyson.

Re: Usyk vs Huck
Saad, this is not questionable, at all - Tua was a very powerful puncher. He has to be on the top ten list (punching power, considering boxers active since 2000). I have no doubts about that (like 99 % of boxing fans)........SaadOffTheDeck wrote:Don't be silly, vitali was feather fisted though.

Re: Usyk vs Huck
Have fun making your list. I didn't notice you had since 2000, he might make that. I thought you meant ever. Which is the kind of overrating of his power that has gone on for years. He didn't punch any harder than holyfield.ValMar wrote:Terrible or not, Tua's place is on that list, and this is axiom............SaadOffTheDeck wrote:That would be a terrible list.ValMar wrote: Saad, this is not questionable, at all - Tua was a very powerful puncher.

Re: Usyk vs Huck
"Ever" would be really too much... And, he punched harder than Holyfield, definitely....And, Holyfield was much better fighter, generally speaking....SaadOffTheDeck wrote:Have fun making your list.

Re: Usyk vs Huck
He was a large man fighting inferior opposition. Even though he was an arm puncher it still stings. Not like he was Byrd, just not a puncher. Tia is a puncher, just an overrated one.

Re: Usyk vs Huck
I only care about me. No need to quote me over and over to say the same shit. Wouldn't be the first or last time I'm singular in my opinion, and correct. As for the usyk analogy, David hit much harder than him so I'm not sure what you're getting at there. If usyk had tuas lack of skills and speed he'd be Huck. Wilder and Joshua punch harder than tua anyway, so he'd still be the underdog there. He could beat Ortiz without a power upgrade.ValMar wrote:Tua is overrated puncher only for you-----if Usyk has Tua's power he will tomorrow defeat Joshua, Ortiz and Wilder.....Tomorrow....SaadOffTheDeck wrote:He was a large man fighting inferior opposition.
