By Kenneth Friedman: Oleksandr Usyk isn’t overly concerned about being severely undersized for a heavyweight, as he believes that many of them are overweight. It’s a different story at heavyweight because fighters need size, skills, speed, and ability to succeed. The World Boxing Organization gave Usyk the mandatory spot at heavyweight without him needing to earn it. That’s one of the reasons why the fans are wary of Usyk’s ability to win a world title in the heavyweight division. When you get guys that are given world title shots without earning it, you often see them fail badly.
