    I get where you are coming from but let’s face it... Joshua isn’t exactly Marius Wach in the chin department or Joe Calzaghe in the endurance category.

    After trying to keep up with Usyk’s movement and eating 60-70 straight lefts... Joshua will be wore the **** out by the 9th and ready to be stopped. Watch.

    Actually let me set you straight, to undermine your narrative.

    Okay, up front, I'm a big fan of Martin's and that was insane, but I had to pull for "my guy". The rest however... which one of those picks were outlandish exactly?

    Dillian Whyte v Anthony Joshua - Whyte
    Charles Martin v Anthony Joshua - Martin
    Eric Molina v Anthony Joshua - Joshua
    Dominic Breazeale v Anthony Joshua - Joshua
    Wladimir Klitschko v Anthony Joshua - Klitschko
    Carlos Takam v Anthony Joshua - Joshua
    Joseph Parker v Anthony Joshua - Parker
    Alexander Povetkin v Anthony Joshua - Povetkin

    Whyte nearly KO'd him in the 2nd.
    Wlad nearly KO'd him in the 5th and 6th.
    Parker won several rounds off of him and would have won in Australia/NZ.
    Povetkin took 5 to 6 rounds off of him, and rocked him a few times.

    Wow, I'm soooo crazy.:rolleyes:

    Even worse than I thought.....

    Bar the Klitschko fight, Joshua is a comfortable favorite in all.

    Yes, because oddsmakers mainly listen to dickriding casuals, I don't.

    :lol: Sure you are.

    Well in that case you definitely should have had Povetkin, Parker and Wlad as favorites. Since he needed his power to bail him out twice, and never quite figured Parker out.

    Usyk is beyond that level now , he's moving forwards not backwards.

    Bredis has beaten nobody since to warrant a rematch as well.

    I will love to see Uzyk at HW! He cleaned a whole division so lets him play with the big boys! We need another Holyfield

    I wouldn't mind a rematch down the line. If Breidis wins WBSS Cruiser II and then moves up to heavy they can definitely fight again.

    If you did you'd have more correct picks though

    I feel like that was the best we could ever see from Briedis. He was highly motivated because of that trophy and the way the fight was held made him show his full potential. If there is a second one Briedis is going to lose it widely.

    After seeing Usyk look like a middleweight next to Wlad and Lennox lewis size wise, I feel Usyks chances of beating Joshua fell from 65 percent to 55 percent :lol:

    The size disparity will be obvious but I always felt skills could undermine the tremendous gap in weight and power, Joshua is a mediocre boxer by comparison, didnt deserve to win gold, his two signature wins now being 40 year old men, and going life and death with the two.

    Parker won 2/3 rounds at most. Povetkin did not win every round prior to the stoppage.
