    Who gives a **** what hapoened in the ams? Aj is better now. Let him fight aj now and see what happens. Joe joyce isnt worth a damn either. Guys like Aj and wilder can punch and theyre big. Wilder is an athletic freak and im not sure that usyk is faster than wilder at hw. Wilder is actually a harder match up for usyk than aj is because he's awkward he's more athletic faster and more explosive. I would not bet on usyk beating wilder. Also fury would give him hell with his size slickness and ring iq.

    If you actually genuinely liked him and were unbiased, you'd admit in terms of overall ability Usyk is superior to Joshua, and on a whole different planet to Wilder!

    I didn't witness no extraordinary skills from Usyk. True, he has a good skillset but all he did was wear Bellew down and knock him out. He didn't out class him, beat him down for seven rounds and then knock him out. Plus Bellew ain't no A class act. Get real.

    Yes hes more skilled but hes much smaller than them if he was the same size he would beat them. I think loma is extremly skilled but would get destroyed by Spence at 147 size does matter.

    I agree that Wilder is tougher than Joshua. Usyk would absolutely school Fury, Fury would have absolutely nothing because he would be up against a better, faster boxer than he is. If Cunningham could do that....
    Anybody interested in predicting what would happen with different size and style match ups should absolutely give a **** about what happened in the amateurs. We have seen Usyk against one hit super heavies and guys 6'5 plus. I have evidence to support what I'm saying. All you have is unfounded speculation.

    You're underestimating Usyk's size. He's 6'3 and 220 pounds without cutting. Joseph Parker gave Joshua fits and he's 6'4, plus nowhere near the boxer Usyk is. Haye is no bigger than Usyk, he did alright at heavy.
    Are you one of those people who thinks Ali would beat all the heavies today?

    I'm excited to see what Usyk can do at heavyweight. I wanna see if someone his size could dethrone the giants. He brings speed, skills, and stamina that can give them all sorts of issues, that is if he doesn't get clocked with right hands early like in the Bellew fight. I wish him the best and boxing fans win because he has great skills and there are some great potential fights coming up.

    The problem is Fury fought Cunningham years ago and Fury has gotten better since then. With that said he still beat Cunningham.

    Fury said it was the hardest fight of his career. He had been through slug fests before but Cunningham made him miss badly.

    Usyk going toe to toe with Joyce shows that he can compete at HW.
    Joyce is Joyce, but he is big and strong. Usyk stood right in front of him, traded punches and then forced Joyce back.

    Just shows how size is overrated. Especially when there is a huge cap in skill/talent.

    I don’t really understand why everyone is under the impression that Usyk is tiny. He is 6’3 and 220 when he is walking around. At heavy he won’t need to cut, he has good reach with footwork and skills that are unparalleled at heavyweight, that will surely negate any negligible advantage in height and reach that the giants possess. People are talking as if it is Roy Jones or James Toney stepping up to heavy, as if it’s Holyfield or Chris Byrd stepping up to heavy. Usyk is a lot bigger than those guys. I think little 6’2 Povetkin should move down to light heavy or cruiser, there’s no way he could ever land a punch on Joshua if they fought.

    Usyk looked bigger than Gassiev, who is considered to be a pretty big CW.
    And vs Bellew, it looked like Usyk was the one who moved down in weight.

    No point him fighting then. Someone send him a link to this thread and save him the trouble of training...
