    I think Joshua knocks wilder out 9/10 times. He just has the wrong style for Wilder.

    But wilder has such an insane right hand that he has a punchers chance vs anyone.

    I think Hearn is the one blocking the fight because he sees Wilder at 33 probably getting ready to start slipping a little bit.

    It's similar to the floyd/pac situation, Floyd would have won at any point bit they waited for pac to decline just to make absoloutley certain.

    I think you'd be surprised.

    Prime povetkin went life and death with Huck in a toe to toe war.

    I think someone like 300lb jarell miller could definatley given him problems.

    And Usyk will use Whyte and Miller as whetstones to hone his approach at the new weight.

    We don't know that, Floyd could've answered the call when they were both relatively prime and saved the speculation for us fans

    I think Hearn looks and thinks as a promoter, wait, let it build. Just as his father said a month or so ago. The longer the speculation goes on, the more people become aware of it and in the end, like Floyd and Manny it transcends the boxing crowd, captures a wider audience and a big fight becomes a massive one. From that perspective all the 'near misses' and controversy about who ducked who is grist to the mill.

    The sad fact also is outside of Wilder there aren't many big opponents for AJ from a commercial point of view. Usyk is not going to bring a massive audience, just the purist crowd. So if he does rush to the Wilder fight, what then?

    Meantime McCracken looks and thinks of AJ vs Wlad and all the improvements he can still make to his style. I think he was happy to have some more camps and you can see I think the result of that, AJ is improving fight on fight.

    Then there's the Wilder camp. They want to maximise return but it's also in their interests to get the fight sooner than later. Their man depends on speed and reflexes and those can start to decline at any moment.

    Meh one or two die hard might argue it but history is written by the Victor and not too many people are arguing that anymore.

    I agree Rob would be happy to get more camps. I was actually impressed with the adjustments Joshua made in the povetkin fight, it's clear he's still learning.

    Joshua is not Joyce. Ok they're both bigger than Usyk but box completely different. It was impressive how Usyk dealt with Joyce.

    It's going to be interesting to see how Usyk gets on at HW. Will he add a few pounds, will that slow him down, will that give him more power, will he stay the same weight and go for speed and movement etc.

    Everybody talked about Fury having this incredible movement and skill but that's nothing compared to the skill and movement Usyk has. If people are looking for the next great white hope at HW, maybe this is the guy.

    I think Joshua beats him. I think he can walk through Usyk shots and keep him at the end of his reach imo.

    Boxing is diverse now, no point in even mentioning the antiquated term “ Great white hope.”

    Stop bringing racial Bull**** in to the boards, thanks.

    Usyk old trainer stated that he beats all HW's in the dvision now and the only threat to him is AJ.

    I'd back Usyk against anyone in the HW division bar a possible fight with AJ, I am currently on the fence regarding that fight.

    Stupid ****s like him were still using that term during the Klitschko’s 12 year reign. Lol Even then! Then They whine about what they dish out being thrown right back in their face.

    I bet he HATES those PFP rankings these days :)
