    Great fighter, best in the world.

    But...he's showing signs of aging. The cardio is starting to go. That's always the first thing. I'm a middle age guy and know all about it.

    If you're Fury, now is the time to make the fight.

    Absolute BS.

    Did you watch the last three rounds lol?

    And of course he's declining SOMEHOW. He's turning 36 in 5 months. He's not 31 or 32.

    PS: No, the first thing that goes for aging HWs are the legs....not the cardio. And Usyks legs were strong af.

    And why? Because it was his way to win the fight tonight. AJ was too good defensively while Usyk was moving around. So Usyk had to stand in front of him and once he did it he had solid success.

    I agree that Usyk is starting to decline, there is huge difference in the way both fights were flowing with Usyk being seriously hurt with body shots and standing way more time in front of Joshua.

    If Joshua was more consistent with his tactics in late rounds it would be over for Usyk.

    AJ was all over the place out of position but Usyk wasn't taking angles on him like he could early bout.

    Bro while i agree he is on the decline since he moved from CW, his cardio is still unmatched. Did you realize that he didn't stop moving for the whole 12 rounds and throw insane amount of shots, that very few in the 3-4-5 lower division can't throw ?

    I mean he is 35. So it's not really a question of if hes declining. Hes obviously not the same 31 year old magician he was against Gassiev. But hes still the best fighter in the sport p4p.

    More wishful thinking. What happened to AJ knocking Usyk out?

    Fury needs to shut his mouth and get in the ring, taking a 50/50 spilt. If he doesn't he's afraid of Usyk. Period.

    It wasn't a genuine statement it was a response to you claiming Usyk can't be stopped which is horse radish and now you should know better but maybe not.

    Bro I'm a Usyk fan.

    Just being honest.

    Usyk was tired late, somewhat. A few years ago, that doesn't happen. Even after the body shots he took.

    This is about the same point in time GGG slowed down.

    Age is real.

    That doesn't mean anyone can beat Usyk, but physically he's starting to decline. Even if only slightly.

    He didn't look as sharp as he did in the first fight but he's only fought once a year for the last five years and there have been 11 and 12 months gaps between all those fights

    So now that Miniq has failed, I ask you...who is going to stop him? That clown Wilder? Hrgovic, maybe? We know Joyce can't.

    Nobody out there is going to stop Uysk.
