He won't get him, if he does Thurman will get his ass kicked something fierce. Not even competitive.Jip wrote:Yup. I heard the same, very good newsSaadOffTheDeck wrote:He wants Thurman. Just saw him on ESPN.Jip wrote:Fight the best asap![]()

Whenever I predict that Usyk might be dangerous for Joshua - the majority of posters, here on forum, consider me a fool.SaadOffTheDeck wrote:Why would I kid. Those guys suck.

Usyk and Crawford are on the very similar skillset level.
Who is a fool, really ?

Usyk doesn't have nearly the same snap and explosiveness to his punches, p4p, as Crawford does. Crawford regularly hurts people with single shots, Usyk doesn't, really.
Re: Crawford is moving up to 147 ww division!
While I do think the jury is still out on Usyk, given the WBSS, I think that he shows many of Hitman Jr's characteristics, including a proclivity to get into firefights when touched.Counter-puncher wrote:Usyk doesn't have nearly the same snap and explosiveness to his punches, p4p, as Crawford does.

Usyk looks really impressive but the ATG, etc., claims are premature.

I have a great respect for Crawford....Spence and Usyk, too.....At least, I have an experienced eye.........Tanzio wrote:While I do think the jury is still out on Usyk, given the WBSS, I think that he shows many of Hitman Jr's characteristics, including a proclivity to get into firefights when touched.Counter-puncher wrote:Usyk doesn't have nearly the same snap and explosiveness to his punches, p4p, as Crawford does.

Re: Crawford is moving up to 147 ww division!
This is true, I do not want to be misunderstood - TC and Usyk, both have the "something beyond".....I think there might be no more than ten recent fighters with this kind of boxing skills.............SaadOffTheDeck wrote:Counter-puncher wrote:Usyk doesn't have nearly the same snap and explosiveness to his punches, p4p, as Crawford does.
