Usyk has real pedigree, was an Olympic gold medalist and was the undisputed crusierweight champion too. He's beaten bigger men before too, it's a threat, it would be incredible if when they did that fight AJ was undisputed and it was the 2 people who were undisputed/undefeated and gold medalists against eachother, fight would be an easy sell. Usyk too is a lil crazy, he's a very interesting character despite him not speaking English very well, would be a major fight, I just hope it happens at the right time. Usyk needs at least 1 heavyweight fight again before going against AJ, realistically would probably be wise to take a couple. AJ vs Pulev would make sense if Wilder is tied up to get the other mandatory out of the way.

I need to look up some Usyk footage. I see his fight that was supposed to be this month got postponed due to injury. If we done get AJ wilder end of next yr then id def want to see Usyk.

I don't know why you just copied that, it's not relevant to anything I just said. Even in what you just posted Barry said "their deal (if it was real)" which shows there was doubt over its authenticity. And as I said the fight was intially planned to be in the U.K, later offers were made for it to be in the U.S, Wilder rejected those offers too. He rejected offers for the fight in the U.K and U.S.

No lie from hearn is what it is
You mean when Hearn asked for a contract to back up the $50million offer sent from WIlders gmail account? And Bum squad/showtime etc couldnt come up with a contract?
These ducking games been called out, you're embarrassing yourself now

I think Usyk will be a threat at HW. It comes down to what everyone thinks; he'll outbox everyone at HW.....but can he take a clean power shot from a HW? If he can, he'll win a belt.
I mean is he known for power? Lol that pitty pat stuff works for Fury because he is huge.

usyk is a boxer-puncher...his last fight was a KO of the year candidate..usyk wasnt a monster puncher at CW but he can punch...12KO's in 16 wins and fights....the real test is if he can bring some of that power up to heavyweight

He's not known for power but I think he has enough that he'll get respect in the HW division, right @patscorpio
edit: Pat already came through with the scouting report
Will check it out. I only seen Joyce fight once and he made quick work of his opponent. It was on the wilder fury undercard
Ill peep his highlights tonight. I tried reading up on him but some of the talk just seems like dudes hyping him because he is white lol
