    You know, with these judges Usyk might land more but lose on the cards.

    AJ starts favourite against everyone from here.

    I think Usyk has the best chance of beating him but when he hits you it's goodnight.

    usyk has a style to give every single heavy problems

    if he is a 210/215 heavy and maintains speed/stamina/ then heavies used to dealing with ****** slower fighters and going to have big problems

    biggest danger for usyk v a joshua is if joshua manhandles him into corners / uses his bulk and size to push him maul him off balance and then let rip

    usyk IMO will be very good at heavy / he is as we all can see a very good fighter.

    the power of heavies means though he can make fewer mistakes and can take less chances.

    Joshua will land at some point and with the power he carries from round 1-12 it's goodnight even though the Ukranian is a better boxer.

    Usyk's problem is he lacks power at 200lbs, he'd be fighting a naturally much bigger stronger man.
    I agree he's more technically sound and does everything well... But, and it's a big one... He gets hit a fair bit. That spells disaster against a guy who hits as hard as Joshua and has dogged mentality to the point he will just walk through his shots. Plus Usyk won't be the same fighter at heavyweight, he won't be 200lbs, it's rare added weight actually helps a fighter moving from cruiser to heavy.
    There are a few exceptions, but even Holyfield who transitioned better than anyone still ended up outgunned against the skilled super heavies. His chin was his saving grace, i don't think Usyk possesses a chin like that and Joshua's power must be at least comparable to Lewis (not saying it's better).

    Joshua walks through Juicyks pitty pats and knocks his head into the tenth row.

    Someone like Whyte will put and end to Usyks campaign before he reaches AJ anyway. That's if he even gets past Bellew.

    Of course you think Usyk beats Joshua lol. Another idiotic pick rooted in hatred and fanboyism. Although I doubt you or anyone else wouId make that pick with a gun to their head. Don't you ever get tired of taking Ls?

    How have I taken an "L"?

    If you are referring to Povetkin then I'm afraid I picked Joshua to win late.....so another fail on your part.

    YDKSAB boy.

    Anyone who thinks Usyk would beat Joshua by points is deluded and on crack cocaine.

    Joshua would KO Usyk faster than POV.

    Usyk would have to come in heavier so he will be slower at 220 so then he would have no advantage at all except hes skill which would help him survive a few rounds and win a few moot points.

    As soon as AJ lands its all over. Guaranteed. And he will land.

    AJ has great punch resistance now.

    Povetkin would be Usyk's toughest opponent to date.

    If Usyk beats Joshua and I believe he will, he's the GOAT.

    I need to see Usyk knocking out Bellew to believe he has any chance vs Joshua.
