    This. Usyk has the skill to give Joshua problems, but Joshua has twice the talent Gassiev does and punches much harder. Joshua will find a way to eventually time Usyk and that would be the end for Usyk.

    It seem Usyk doesnt care if he gets robbed on the cards, since hes ready to travel all over the world to fight enemies on their home turf.

    Yup.

    Usyk lacks both size and power

    You can get away without having one but not both.

    You need to have either the power deterrent or the size to stay at long range.

    The only thing usyk really lacks is judges , I believe he would outbox juoceshua and then would get robbed. In UK anything can happen, if Juiceshua was able to “win “ gold after losing 3 fights , then Usyk will get robbed even if he wins it 10-2

    This, people need to accept the reality of boxing, the A side will win unless you absolutely trash the hometown fighter, and even then you will get at most a draw. This will happen in the UK and the United states, Usyk needs to win the belts and start fighting in a neutral country like Germany to avoid robberies.

    Eventually AJ will land something big and when he does all of Usyks good work will go out the window.

    I always thought Usyk had a great chance, but after listening to AJ`s bout last night on the radio, it seems he has a lot of problems with fast fighters, Usyk is fast and has quicker feet than Povetrkin and Parker, Parker was very hard for AJ to hit because he was also fast, so Usyk`s stock just went up, I don`t think he can hurt AJ thouggh because he took some rights off Povetkin yesteday and Pov is a much harder puncher than Usyk.

    It clever how AJ brought Povetkin`s gloves down by jabbing to the body then coming with the right upstairs, AJ`s trainer told him to do this, he tried a few jabs to the body tricking Pov into thinking tat`s where he was aiming, he`s a good combo puncher, Canelo did the same trick to Khan, AJ has a good corner, but Usyk would have beaten Povetkin far more easily though.

    AJ fought nowhere near the level of Tyson in that fight last night, Tyson was awesome vs Spinks, Usyk would have beaten Spinks at cruiser, if Michael chose to meet him at that weight in a fantasy kind of thing, Holyfield probably would have beat Spinks at cruiser coming up from light heavy is a bigger jump than coming up from cruiser and Usyk is 6'3 his build won`t be as fleshy as the shorter Spinks and his reach might be better. Usyk boxed the ears off of Joe Joyce at amateur level.

    I was merely meaning puncher v boxer. The size of today's heavyweights is probably a bigger jump in weight than the weight jump from light heavy to heavy in the Spinks era. AJ would be at least 2 stone heavier than Tyson I would have thought

    Be an interesting match up if/when it happens but just feel that as soon as AJ lands a big punch (like last night) then it's game over

    Usyk wide UD.

    Joshua is as good as he's going to get and he's still stiff, upright and too slow.

    Heavyweight vs a blown up light heavy, Spinks might have beaten Usyk at cruiser in a fantasy bout, he would have done well at cruiser if he had moved up when Holy was champ.
