He's right. Moreover, he won't handle Fury. He should grab some belts, before The Gypsy King gathers them.

Yes.
And so agree that all the top guys will be no easy night for him. Wilder, Fury, Jousha and Ruiz all has fast hands, great skillsets and saying that Wilder is the weak on that area but he learns and gets better for every fight he is in.
Wouldn't be suprised if everyone have been scouting Usyk out already. He is really great but let see how he does aganist top guy and already talking about fighting for a world title is something that Hearn is scheming for and is already looking to get the WBO belt for him.
Fury might beat him on points, Andy could whoop him and same with AJ, but Wilder would more or less end him if he gets a chance. If Usyk don't dance around all night or something.

Their is no easy fights in the top 10 anymore. Ain't pretty awesome?

Usyk is no easy fight for no one. Just not seeing him as a favorite for the moment aganist the big four.

All of the top 4/5 give each other a tough nights work

There’s no real standout number 1 imo

All have their flaws and it could be a case of fighter A beats fighters B but loses to fighter C who in turn loses to fighter B...

I think Usyk would have a tough time with any of the big boys like Fury, Wilder, Joshua and Ruiz. He's 33 years with only 17 fights, and only ONE appearance at heavy. Not a good foundation for dominating.

It's all just Usyk talk. He'll have his hands full with the top 4 or 5 guys.

The easiest fights for Usyk are the less coordinated less mobile heavy weights that can not turn. Most of the heavyweights can all hit way to hard for Usyk, but Usyk advantage is is ability to make the heavys turn, The better a heavy is at turning towards Usyk the less advantage Usyk has.

The OP apparently is just reading headlines. SMH :roll:

“He has a belt. I was joking that he’s the easiest of opponents. (on Wilder being the easiest and Fury being the toughest)Of course, no. He is the champion of the world. He’s a strong guy, and he has the belt, which is my favorite color [green].

“So if I have a chance, when I have a chance, I will face him. I don’t feel like I can dislike him. Even though people can be abusing me, I can still go on loving them,” said Usyk.

That's exactly what i thought. USYK knows fury has no power at all and not at risk. USYK is fooling crowd here only.

interesting side note, Usyk has said that he plans on being heavier next time out.

Same here. I think I'd still call that for the rematch.

I'd think Fury would at least make it out of the early rounds

Yeah. Not an early KO for me, but I'd still pick Wilder by KO. Maybe I'm in denial.

17 "pro fights" but wbss is basically a pro fight and he has some decent heavyweight experience there. His wbss resume has about as much relevance as many boxers first 20 pro fights.

Fury is the tallest, longest, and almost as equally skilled as Usyk. The only skill advantage Usyk has over Fury is footwork; and Fury has fast hands. Joshua the weakest of the top four, a real klutz who can't move well.

Usyk admited that he had been joking about Wilder, but he was serious about Fury.

Usyk is a better and much more active boxer. Fury has size on him. Nothing else
