    AJ booted McCracken
    AJ wants to be a dog against Usyk
    AJ wants an American coach
    AJ met with Reynoso and Virgil Hunter.
    Can AJ beat Usyk with a hyper aggressive gameplan and a new American coach? Is going hyper aggressive the right strategy to beat Usyk? Which trainer would give AJ the best chance against Usyk?

    A classic dog vs cat matchup. A rivalry as old as cartoons.

    It doesn't matter who he has in his corner, the fighter in him left a long time ago.

    Alot of these trainers are now old and glorified cheerleaders and yes-men.

    He needs someone to bring venom out of him as well as refining his skill set. Ben Davis and Shane McGuigan should also be on that list.

    In America he should seek out Johnathan Banks or James Ali Bashir.

    A dog with no stamina or chin is no dog

    Usyk can use his feet a little more and easily evade an aggressive big stiff idiot like aj

    Not gonna help, Stamina problems + chin

    heart and courage is not trainable.

    Usyk is master. You don't play with him and try new things on him. Usyk is goona back up if he will see something dangerous, after AJ got tired, he will stop him.

    Everyone has a punchers chance, that's about it

    Good for him. If he wants to win, he's going to have to use his size advantages.

    Maybe he can make some changes, but AJ will likely revert back to himself once he gets punched in the face. They usually do.

    Wilder had a plan too and the plan went out the window when things got rough.

    So AJ's plan is to be dangerous for the first three rounds and then, if Usyk isn't gone, he's gonna gas and get pelted?

    Might even work. Will probably get him stopped.

    BS, he Won’t make any noticeable adjustments with in a few months, he would need at least a year and maybe 1 to 2 fights to make any solid improvements

    This is great, would be great for AJ, needs someone to bring something new out of him. Could be a game changer, but maybe comes late. Should’ve left McCracken after Ruiz 1

    Exactly this. AJ has got 4 rounds max to get his man - it is possible - but if he don’t Usyk going to bring the heat and stop him mid rounds after he gasses.
    Should be fun

    If AJ goes for it at the start, it would be a fun fight indeed. AJ has a small but far from insignificant chance of catching Usyk with something big and dropping or stopping him, since Usyk tends to warm up a little in fights and is probably most vulnerable before he's found his rhythm and worked out his patterns.
