Usyk-vs-Ruiz-Fury-Wilder-Joshua-Whyte-Dust Cougher and everyone else. Who beats him?

Doesn't it look a little desperate for Wilder to be 'calling out' Usyk before the ring was even torn down for his debut match? All I've seen is Wilder saying he's to small. Seems like a tired slight on fighters who have already proven to be world class. Was interesting listening to the Dazn crew slam Usyk and a bit surprising. "It's not the performance he was hoping for" . Thought he looked very sound. Dominated and had fun with it. Just sounds whack hunting for faults on pre-perceptions. Age is his 500 gorilla in the room. I think he'll do very well but don't like the idea of him sitting on deck for a Ruiz or AJ right off. Especially with all three trinket wielders facing make or break fights next. Even Holyfield beat up some links and opponent comparisons before he was set to meet Tyson originally. He was also shorter and lighter than Usyk. Honestly until we see more I think he does best with Joshua. Ruiz and Wilder still have a fluidity and better mobility and faster hands compared. Wilder might just break both of his own little bird legs being feinted out of position though.

I get that jumping from cruiserweight to HW can be a big jump, but when else do you see someone so dominate in a weight class move up just for everyone to say that they won’t be able to compete?

I am sure Holyfield was regarded as too small and light to compete at the heavyweight division. The early Evander used that to his advantage. He used his speed and work rate to beat the top contenders in the division.

I have a feeling that Usyk will take a less strenuous path to the title and will pick out lower level fighters for lower level world titles to get into position for literally the bigger fights.
