    Ive never thought AJ was overrated, but I have to assume I overrated him quite a bit, while underrating Usyk, if the fight was as one sided as it sounds here and Usyk won the early rounds. If AJ had won the early rounds and was overtaken with Usyks adjustments and stamina down the stretch, I could accept that and AJ wouldnt drop too terribly much in my estimation. However, to lose the early rounds while gas tank is full, and no adjustments needed by Usyk, idk.... I do feel I overrated AJ a bit.

    But I do hear you man, and I still rate him highly for this era. His resume speaks for itself to me (obviously not everyone agrees on that).

    Indeed, will def be interesting to see what Fury does from here.

    Yeah, AJ landed good shots because hes accurate, he landed about 5 good shots while Usyk landed about 50.
    If AJ lands 5 good shots on Usyk Wilder will land 0.

    That's why Wilder v Joshua is still an interesting fight.

    Anytime he got close he was eating straight lefts.

    Does this prove that Joshua and Wilder were lucky to win titles in a weak HW era?

    Did Usyk looked much improved from his Chisora form? Or pretty much the same. Im just wondering if hes improving as he gets used to carrying the weight or if hes already at his heavyweight level right now.

    Hope you had a good night Jurgs. That Hatton decision was an abomination. A disgrace to pudding even.

    That's funny, considering how Jones was making a big deal about AJ getting up before Usyk in between rounds.

    But...but.... what about all of the great "top 10" wins like Molina, Paint Dry Parker, Takam, Breazeale, Rice Pudding, Pudding Pulev etc?

    He boxed masterfully for the first 5 rounds, but set a hell of a pace, AJ did a little better from 6-8, but only won 2 outright, Usyk was a little tired, but mostly just pacing himself, then Usyk came roaring back and finished strong, winning the last 4 rather easily.
