I'm reserving judgment on Usyk at Heavyweight for now. I wasn't impressed with his debut. I want to see how he gets on in his next fight, which should be Chisora, that's a good test for him at this stage. Chisora is pretty much having a second career at the moment, and is in really good form.
Hardly anyone has been successful moving up from Cruiserweight to Heavyweight in the last 30 years. Only Evander Holyfield and David Haye. Holyfield had tremendous work rate and resolve and could hurt much bigger men (fought Riddick Bowe 3 times), Haye could bang at Cruiser and carried his power up.
Do I think Usyk can be successful?, Yes, I do. So we'll see how it plays out.

Usyk is insane too, just look at his eyes, there's a screw loose in there and that's a dangerous thing in boxing. Controlled and cool yet with the mind of a nutter. I think he'll do well but his last showing, really still looks like a big cruiserweight.
Holyfield was a special case tbh, proper talent. Won't see his likes again I doubt.
