    AJ is a lot better than Joyce who Povetkin jabbed silly in the amateurs, AJ is also far better than any of the other heavies that Usyk has met also.

    Usyk can`t punch as hard as Povetkin though.

    The Povetkin fight proved the modern super heavies would have had problems with the lighter faster heavies of the past.

    He won’t. He can pull a mandatory shot at any time

    You would think, but Hearn would propose the Dillian fight, remember all top fighters must go through the AJ protection squad first.

    I only pick 3 men in boxng right now who can outbox/out class Joshua.

    1. Wilder - faster, keeps good distance, murderous puncher.

    2. Fury - uses height and reach very effectively, if anything like the Wlad fight, he could cause AJ fits.

    3. Usyk - Better in every department than Joshua, except for power.

    One guy in the heavyweight division that could annihilate Fury, Wilder and Usyk....... AJ.

    Usyk has been in with Super Heavies in the amateurs remember.

    Beat Joyce comfortably if i recall.

    Povetkin faced Joyce in the amateurs? I was not aware of that.

    AJ is far better than any of the Heavies Usyk beat except 2 of the guy's he beat also beat Joshua. I would expect the Usyk fight to go much like the Savon fight in both product and outcome.

    No surely not. Povetkin would have been pro before Joyce was even boxing surely. Usyk schooled Joyce though.

    Not me who said it but @mark ant

    By my calculations Joyce would have been 20 when Pov turned Pro in 2005. Joyce is no spring chicken.

    (But I think he probably meant Usyk too)

    Haha sorry I knew you didn't say it. Joyce was a late starter to boxing , mid twenties.

    Kahan’s chin not quite as abysmal as the chinny robot’s but I get your point, decent enough analogy.

    Maidana.

    Get back on your main account @Brixton Bomber you were spouting some shite before the first Usyk bout now you’ve done a runner. You’re as spineless as your hero.
