    Usyk is a much better boxer, no surprise.

    Is Joshua simply too big and explosive though...?

    He'd have to fight the perfect fight with the perfect game plan for every second of the 12 rounds.

    UYSK has a chance. But I feel that UYSK doesnt have the power to make AJ hesitate about being hurt

    I think Usyk is a boxing wizard. But AJ is simply vastly too big and powerful. He's also not your average plodding HW. I can't see it.

    If Usyk somehow pulled off a win over AJ you'd have to use a crowbar to prise me off his nuts.

    I can see the fight happening.

    Everyone wants that payday. Usyk is a fantastic fighter, but Joshua is not a slow super heavyweight. Joshua will come through Usyk’s power, cut off the ring, and unload on him.

    I think Usyk has a real shot but he should get a solid win at HW first so that Joshua gets his credit if he does win.

    Usyk has a VERY good chance of outboxing Joshua. And this forum will be very feel when it happens :)

    Hey John Ruiz beat Valuev and got robbed, and Usyk is waaaay better than Ruiz, and AJ is only marginally better than Valuev.

    And Lol @ people claiming Usyk can’t hurt Joshua. Like Joshua has a GGG type chin or something. Lol I can’t wait until this fight happens.
