If Whyte hurt Joshua you better believe Usyk can too.

    Yeah you're completely right fight didn't play out quite like i remembered, was probably drinking when I watched it lol.
    Briedis had early success standing his ground as he got the better of the exchanges inside, Usyk seems fairly basic there. Mid range and outside he does his best work.
    He definitely won no question. One glaring weakness however and the reason I think Joshua flattens him fairly early (inside 5), is he just pumps that jab out without a lot of thought half the time. When he measures it he's pretty great, but the rest of the time he's just flicking it out. That works against guys he has a reach advantage over or is plain faster than (Gassiev), but I see Joshua timing him with a right hand. I just think his style is all wrong, his advantage is being big and mobile at cruiser weight. Joshua is 245lbs, fast and incredibly powerful with patience and good timing, he's simply too big and physical.

    lol I think Whyte hits far harder than Usyk tbh..

    Haters gona hate i suppose..

    Now if you said Usyk puts on a clinic against AJ and wins via wide UD I could argue for...

    What I mean by that, is that Whyte has hurt or dropped top level heavies. Usyk, has pitter patted top level cruisers.

    Usyk would slaughter Whyte easily

    Pity pat him to a decision? I could see that. Slaughter him? Not happening.

    I don't care for your trolling terms. Usyk would give Whyte a bad beating! If you think anything otherwise you are deluded.

    Is this Turd again? You always catch feelings and get irritable when somebody disagrees with you regarding one of your mancrushes.

    lol
    Which TOP LEVEL HWs has Whyte hurt?
    He hasn't fought a Top HW so far apart from AJ and he rocked him once, WOW.
    Parker isn't a Top 5-7 HW.
