Power will be the biggest issue imo.I'm also real interested but I have doubts about him having enough power to deter the big heavies.
Hes much more skilled and slick then just about every fighter at HW. He can move.That guy isn't slick or skilled enough to stand in there with much bigger guys. Absorbing shots and waiting for guys to wear out is a different game when your opponents are suddenly 30 pounds heavier.
Everyone is small when you compare them to Fury. Usyk is 6’3” and walks around at 220. 78” reach. Thats not small.Usyk is pretty small. He won a bronze medal at middleweight at the age of 19 at the 2006 European Amateur Boxing Championships.
Guys like Joshua and Tyson Fury will likely be at least 20 lbs heavier if they fight.
If he can put on maybe 10 pounds hell be just fine.
