    No Wonder why other top boxers Keep avoiding serious competition all the time. Fans are shooting themselves out of entertainment by dumping their imignary heros as soon as their 0 goes...

    Look at the fear in AJ's eyes when Usyk cracks him with that southpaw backhand and then look how Usyk hurts him with that hook in the next bit of footage.

    I don't rule out AJ's chances because size matters and he's so much naturally bigger and a very heavy puncher against top level fighters his own size

    And obviously what's going on in Usyk's homeland is far from ideal for him going into the biggest fight of his life and it could have a detrimental effect on him and FTR he's already lost friends in the war. It might make him too aggressive and reckless. But only one of them was hurt in their first fight and it wasn't the much smaller man who according to many is a non puncher.

    spartans don’t go 1-1 with obese (grinning) Mexican middleweights or lose to feather fisted cruisers.

    They do however step into a trilogy with the hardest punching heavy in history and come out the other side without a loss.

    I guess sky can be more balanced in their fcking tedious narrative now big josh isn’t a house fighter?

    Even the loyal sky season ticket holders must realise by now that big josh was all packaging and no content since he quit against the Mexican middleweight and very nearly got stopped against the feather fisted cruiser.

    In between he despatched of yet another shot to pieces old eastern euro midget in pulev (who even shot old fifteen losses delboy chisora beat)

    Joshua’s last top level win was probably Joey twelve packets Parker and that guy arguably LOST to fcking shot old del, obese grinning Andy, and Dillian fkcing whyteleafe

    Big chinny Josh’s “pulev-Parker-molina-Martin-koogs” resume has aged so badly even @mitchroom87 has stopped parroting the Hearns junior narrative

    Hi Buddy.
    Find it fascinating when I read post like yours on AJ/Usyk, especially when you not only pick a winner, but the round or rounds when said win will be achieved, maybe its my age, and experience in matters, that prevents me from having the conviction of posters like yourself, or maybe I am old and not so cleared headed, who knows.
    For me, it isn't so cut and dried, there are so many variables in boxing, particularly in rematch's, AJ will not fight the same way, surely thats a given, he has had months to analyse the first encounter, hours of painstaking self analysis, it is inconceivable that he will follow the same fight plan, add to this his pride, and self worth within his community and family.
    Then you have Usyk, he fought a fight that maybe he was born to fight only once in his life, he was fired up, had the advantage of going in as the underdog, to most anyway, properly trained like as nether before, his chance to achieve immortality, and he rose to the challenge, fair play to him, and huge respect from me.
    The point is can he do it again ? the form and smart money will prob say yes, not me, don't get me wrong I am not saying he will lose, just saying there are intangibles in boxing, as in life, and too many for me to join all the Usyk believers, who knows I could have a large egg on my face after the fight, then again I could not.
    stay safe hombre, chat soon ( after the fight prob )

    USKY didn’t fight the fight of his life, he was in cruise control all night and made sure he showed big josh what second gear looks like in round twelve

    imo Usyk is frustrated and angry with the war because he sees Slavic people killing each other in needless slaughter dictated by elites. He's Crimean and his stance shouldn't be conflated with the much more Europhilic Klitschko bros. That isn't to say he's a Putinbot or whatever, but I honestly believe his anger is more about him having to waste time on this rematch, travelling to Saudi, then London, then Saudi again, when he could be either in Ukraine or fighting Fury for ultimate greatness. I genuinely believe Usyk wanted to fight Fury and retire at 20-0, double undisputed. I don't know if he would've won, but it is what it is

    As for AJ, I think this really is the end of the road. There's plenty of fights he could do, but would his pride allow it? He's built his brand on being a belt-holder and a humble champion - regardless of how genuine that is. Slugging it out with Dillian Whyte at the O2? I can't see it. I've always hated AJ to a completely unfair degree, and that's why I'm refusing to count him out because I can't be bothered to get angry over him snagging a SD or British-imported stoppage or whatever, but now that the final curtain seems about to fall I actually feel somewhat sorry for the bloke. He was an enormous overachiever who benefitted enormously from the Sky Sports-Matchroom propaganda machine, and if he didn't have Bellew or Nelson kissing his feet for knocking out binmen twice a year I might've actually liked him. I don't think we're going to see AJ as a commentator or media person or attend boxing evenings like Lennox and Bruno do

    Read your Herodotus. Read your Xenophon. Read your Thucydides. Spartans had some humiliating moments.

    This.

    Being the third best heavy in the world and a two-time former champ is nothing to be ashamed of.
