    IMO it’s Joshua. Let’s talk boxing

    Def Joshua. Outside of Joshua, Usyk’s best win was against Bellew.

    Usyk.

    Joshua has a great resume with wins over Wlad, Povetkin, Ruiz, Parker and Whyte. Note, the first two were old.

    Usyk has the best record for a cruiserweight with victories over Gassiev, Bellew and Briedis. He has since added another against Joshua and unlike the English, he has never lost.

    Usyk since he was undisputed, undefeated and has also beaten Joshua.

    There's not much difference though.

    Are you okay? His Michael Hunter win is better than his win over Bellew, and that's his 4th maybe 5th best win.

    Usyk!! Unified the cruiser weight division and stepped up to heavyweight & beat AJ.. come on..

    AJs best win is Vlad who had come off a lose to Fury and been inactive for 17 months.

    Even if AJ beats Usyk, Usyk will still have a better resume..

    Whyte beat Parker. Whyte is not good. So Parker is worse. Let's count those 2 out.

    Wlad and Povetkin were both 40 years old and shot to pieces. Count them out too.

    Ruiz knocked out Joshua in a brutal fashion, whereas Joshua beat Ruiz by decision. It makes Ruiz superior to Joshua. So, Ruiz win doesn't count either.

    That is, Joshua doesn't have a good resume.

    Usyk on the other hand beat Joshua, Huck, Bellew, Briedis, Gassiev, Joyce, Hunter.

    Usyk has a much better resume.

    :lol: Usyk got accused of being a geriatric ward raider for fighting an opponent who is practically a nipper by AJ opponent standards

    Aside from the fact Usyk beat all bar one of his opponents since moving up to the world level in their backyards (and the lone time he didn't, Mchunu, was on neutral soil), none of them were senior citizens.

    That poop matters. Don't believe me then ask yourself why AJ walked away with that gold medal after losing two of his bouts in those games

    Amazing this needs to be spelled out to people.

    AJ has one of the most stacked decks in the game

    Usyk fights religiously on a deck which is stacked against him

    What happened the one and only time AJ pulled an Usyk and fought one of his opponents in their backyard?

    I'll give you a clue. He got devoured by a morbidly obese walrus

    Clearly Usyk. Since when did we stop including defeats when assessing a fighter's record?

    Usyk's top 5 wins:

    Joshua away
    Briedis away
    Hunter away
    Chisora away
    Gassiev away

    AJ's top 5 wins:

    Wlad (41, 17 months inactive, winless in 2 years, final fight) home
    Povetkin (39) home
    Ruiz 2 (untrained, huge ring) neutral
    Whyte (green) neutral
    Parker (bodyguard referee, dodgy cornerman) home

    Usyk's losses: N/A

    AJ's losses:

    Ruiz NOMAS7 away
    Usyk 8-4 home

    Usyk's record is far superior.

    Usyk. Even if he loses to Joshua on Saturday it's still Usyk.

    Love how you went into detail to try and make all of Joshua's wins look as bad as possible.

    Be aware of your own bias.

    Joshua's wins are not impressive.
