Oleksandr Usyk To Return in Mid-May In U.S. As A Heavyweight

[Primo Carnera]

I Thi k usyk would have quite a fun time v old povetkin, povetkin has slowed down quite a bit over the last few years and despite still being pretty good at this stage of their careers I think the only advantage he has over usyk would be his power.... Good fight for usyk he should take it, if he's not capable of beating 40 year old povetkin he might Aswell just mhjke a load of defences at Cruiserweight.

Despite what they’re all saying, I don’t believe Usyk fights Povetkin in his 1st HW fight. If he does , I think he could be in trouble. Povetkin is a match for ANY HW. He proved that when he fought AJ. I don’t think his age matters, it’s more about his mindset.
Usyk would be better off fighting Takam or Chisora, then a big guy like Price, then we’ll see if he can succeed at HW.

Povetkin barely beat Marco Huck who was also a cruiserweight and was more of a come forward fighter. I don’t think that Usyk will have much of a problem with him especially at this age. I doubt that Povetkin will even land a clean shot.

In the thread of who should usyk fight first at heavyweight, I suggested chisroa, to me that makes the most sense. Povetkin has been one of my favourites his whole career, watched a ton of his fights and being 40 certainly does become a factor :S. Povetkin certainly could be a good fight for everyone I just think usyk is tip top and in his prime so 40 year old povetkin wont be much of a match for him.
