    Anyone who lands clean can hurt Joshua, and Usyk will land clean on him far more than anyone who's faced him.

    I think AJ is robotic but he's not at all slowbotic for his size.

    Of course it was a good response, and it was genuine.:deal:

    The fact is... Usyk is the same size as Ruiz, and Ruiz beat his fair share of HW's with his marginal power and decent skillset, Valuev was a giant who didn't have great footwork, wasn't good at cutting off the ring, didn't have particularly fast hands, only Valuev had a waaaay better chin and a better gastank than AJ, it could very well play out in a similar fashion, but if I had to pick a more apt comparison, it would be Haye vs. Valuev, Usyk can run and most importantly box circles around AJ all not, while AJ is hitting nothing but air.

    The fight could very well end up looking like Wlad-Fury as well, only if Fury was a midget.

    Good match-up. They both often seem to have visibly fun when they fight.

    I don't think so but he's welcome to try. Certainly not on UK soil, trying to scam a win with pitty pats isn't going to impress the judges and that's the best case scenario with him.

    Lets be honest: So far we know this: Usyk can take a punch, Usyk is way better against taller guys than him, Usyk isn't a huge hitter but has enough power to hurt someone, Joshua is really strong, Joshua has no granite chin, Joshua is robotic and slow compared to Usyk.

    Make yourself the conclusions... It will be a great fight I think and it's 50/50. Depends where it will be hosted and how does the gaining of around 20 pounds will affect Usyks speed.

    How'd Byrd beat Tua or Holyfield or draw with Golota then? Peralta frustrated the hell out of a young warpathing Foreman. Loughren who was a featherfist LHW beat Baer, Sharkey, Godoy, Hamas, Uzcudun.

    Right now Usyk's superior skills would not be enough to bridge the size and power gap.

    Usyk has a chance, he could out box Joshua and win a decision. Joshua would be a threat to knock him out in any round. I would like to see it I could potentially be a very dramatic fight.

    I laugh at these turds saying “B.. But Usyk is a pity pat puncha doe!” The guy isn’t a feather fisted fighter and has some pop when he sits on his shots. He puts together some very sharp combos that are far from the “pity pat” punches certain people hack on him about.

    This isn’t Chris Byrd we’re talking about... Usyk can crack enough to hurt anybody. Especially with his hooks. When he moves up to heavyweight he’ll be around 220lbs most likely and I’d bet anything he keeps his speed.
