i think i like usyk by decision over all the heavyweights. no thats half true. i like usyk by decision or the other guy by knockout. you ought to go back and watch those wsb amateur fights. you get to see usyk fighting heavyweights.
i have this theory that the trend in the heavyweight division has been to get bigger and stronger. that there has been a race to the top to try lift all the weights and take all the vitamins to get the most size advantage you can have. so they got bigger and stronger. and they also got stiffer and slower. the other part of that theory is that they also got less skilled. you could say that, in large part, that long reign that wladimir klitschko had over the heavyweight division all those years had a lot to do with modern heavyweights becoming so big and so slow, that none of them could get past a jab anymore, or get out of the way of a right hand anymore. and that a heavyweight that can pick off slow moving targets with one big right hand - like klitschko, like wilder - will always become the heavyweight that will dominate the modern heavyweight environment. i digress.
thats why im interested in michael hunter and usyk at heavyweight. they represent a return to small, quick heavyweights who have to win with their skill. that does still matter. skill that is. then again thats only a theory. funny thing about usyk in the wsb tournament is, he had the toughest fight with the smallest heavyweight he faced in the tournament, and he clowned the biggest heavyweight he faced in the tournament. if the dinosaurs went extinct I 5 because they got too big, then maybe theak same thing will happen one day to áwt waswqhese was. but thats only a theory.
