201 would be quite enough.
He'll be 20-25 LBS heavier.
It would be too much, I think his optimum at HW might be about 215.
Never forget Holyfield, and Tyson too...........
He's probably been at that weight for his fight nights at CW.

Definitely over 210 fightnight at cruiser, you win't see that guy overweight ever, he can carry upto 230 easily still looking ripped (like it would matter at heavy).

His speed is one of his main weapons, and he needs to retain this speed at HW. It will be quite difficult if he is over 220.

:lol: he isn't adding fat. He's losing cutting weight and fighting slower fighters. That , my friend, is as wrong as a statement can be.

You might be right !? But, let us try to explain Joshua's case (he has almost no fat), I think you will agree with me that he is pretty faster with 235 than with 250. So, it could be same with Usyk ?

It's not the same situation. Joshua isn't cutting weight, that's a depleting process. Usyk fights near that anyway, he'd be even faster.

There should be an option for choosing both as there are multiple belts nowadays. Usyk is the #1 choice, though. I knew he was something special from the very first time i saw him. He should have kept his cossack haircut because there is power in it. I have. Hrgoviv, on the other hand, looks to me like the third Klitschko brother.

Nothing to see bro. If he came in at 260 you might have a point.

Usyk will weigh about 215 for his heavyweight debut.

I expect him to eventually settle in between 220-225.

He'll retain his speed and movement, along with a high workrate, and perhaps satisfy those who foolishly believe Usyk's too small.

As if 6'3.5" 220+ pounds is too small. 😂 Maybe for sumo wrestling.

How much do you think he weighs at cruiser when in the ring?
IIRC he was ~212lbs vs Joe Joyce in WBSS

Usyk will get a chance to win a belt first, but I believe Hrgovic is the better heavyweight.

You previously state he was hurt. Now it's he was stunned.
All I see is he was hit with a clean shot backed up 3 steps while on his toes and continued to fight.
Not hurt, not stunned just hit clearly

Hurt and stunned are 2 different things in boxing.
