    Lets assume Usyk wins the tournament and moves up to HW.

    I think Usyks chin is decent and therefore would outbox Joshua to a decision.

    Usyk by decision although I can see Usyk knocking an exhausted Joshua out in the late rounds.

    If Usyk can take Joshua into the later rounds and his power translates to heavyweight it's possible, but I'm not sold on Usyk's durability yet.

    Usyk outboxes him. Oleksandr’s movement would frustrate and confuse the **** out of Joshua. So would his hand speed. He also has a better gas tank than Anthony.

    Usyk UD

    I think his stamina is okay. Not great but not bad either. Sure as hell way better than Joshua.

    few months ago I was leaning Joshua ... but after seeing takam able to take him 10 rounds I am picking usyk to ud Joshua or stop him between rounds 9-12 once he tires.

    Usyk out boxes the massively overrated Joshua

    A draft enters the arena causing Usyk's shorts to waiver and sway then the corrupt, cuck British ref jumps in and gives Joshua a TKO victory.

    Ain't nobody beating AJ yet. Not sure what's wrong, the stoppage was too early, true, but he won every round, knocked Takam down and gave him a nasty cut. Joshua was not even once in trouble.

    It's the same as with GGG. If these fighters don't dominate for the whole fight and get even hit once, they will be criticized. That shows how good they really are.

    Usyk is durable, never been troubled by anything, the real Q is whether he has enough power to keep Joshua honest.

    You are not seriously comparing Joshua to GGG? This is like the third time, where i see Joshua in deep water. GGG dominates most of his opponents, Joshua survives and escapes his.

    Usyk is the much better fighter and he'd cause AJ fits with his speed of hand and foot, movement, and boxing ability. AJ does have very quick hands for someone of his gargantuan dimensions though so Usyk would have to extremely careful not give him any opportunities to land one of his bombs. If AJ even had just average speed for someone of his size Usyk would toy with him.

    Joshua has dominated most of his opponents too.

    Joshua recently stepped up: Had problems with White. Survived and gassed against Wlad. Performed poorly tonight.

    Heavyweight is a **** division. GGGs opponents are way better than Joshuas.
