    If so then he could do quite well up at heavyweight. Only his lack of size (like any cruiser) and his power could hold him back.

    You're alluding to their fight in the 2006 European championships down at MW? Wasn't that on the outscored rule?

    Yes he schooled him and the murderous punching Medzhidov too.

    Sounds good. And yeah I think Joyce beat Yoka in the final as well. I'm not sold on Yoka's ability yet. What was Yoka's semi final with Filip Hrgovic like? Was the decision correct?

    Not IMO it wasn't. Watch it yourself and see how you feel about it

    Usyk better stay away from AJ. That's coming from Usyk's fan.

    AJ is just too big for Usyk, we are talking about 6'6'' 250 SHW against 6'3'' and 210 lbs HW.

    Also AJ is 3 years younger, hits way harder, and is fast starter while Usyk needs rounds to warm up.

    Usyk however can beat Parker and other HWs who are not as big and hard-hitting as AJ.

    I had Hrgovic winning that. The only round I thought could have been scored either way was round 1. Rounds 2 and 3 were won clearly by Hrgovic imo.

    That was clearly a Hrgovic win imo. Had him winning 3-0, but I could also see 2-1 to Hrgovic as well. Also had Joyce winning the final against Yoka too. Who do you see doing the best in the pros out of Yoka, Joyce, Hrgovic and Dychko?

    Same here. The best score you could come up with for Yoka is 1-2. He didn't deserve to win that at all IMO.

    Usyk has proven by his decisions that he's unwilling to fight the best in the Cruiserweight division and we're talking Anthony Joshua at HW?

    Was Yoka always getting gifts? I see that he won the World Amateur Championships too. Was that a genuine win or another gift?
