    Joshua beat Pulev very easily.

    Usyk did a number on AJ. Losing to Ruiz on a "lucky punch" could be explained away since he beat him in the rematch.

    Getting outboxed twice by a featherfist is worse.

    So I guess Floyd Mayweather and Andre Ward's careers don't mean jack**** to you then right?

    Joshua got jabbed too easily today, had his face beaten up just a bit too much against a guy who fought seven days ago. There is some truth to the OP but we won't know unless Usyk fights someone good.

    Then who is good in the HW division?

    Fury has only fought Wilder, Whyte and Chisora.

    Wilder has only beaten Helenius recently.

    You are not going to count Dubois as a good challenger, Hrgovic looked awful and Joyce got battered.

    usyk is the goat cruiser and best HW at the moment , Fury is a clown and a duck . Possibly the biggest duck ever.
    Usyk is P4P king while Fury isn’t on P4P list at all.

    yes but Fury still looks like god because his daddy Wallin looks more and more amazing with every fight.

    Not sure what your point is here. Usyk is an exceptional fighter, but AJ is fighting the way he does today because he is afraid to get knocked out. One man put that fear in him.

    Usyk is probably more similar to Joe Calzaghe than he is to Floyd/SOG, though.

    Usyk's face after round 1 when he realizes he isn't fighting Chazz Witherspoon or Anthony Joshua anymore:eek:

    Only thing the Fury fight will show is the level of warrior in Usyk...but if he decides to run around and survive for the distance I wouldn't blame him.

    Ignoring that unless he decapitates the most horrifically crude Dubious it's going to look bad.

    Only women get that defensive when trying to defend their man. Big Usyk fan huh?

    Franklin won 0 rounds against AJ
    Helenius won 1 round against AJ and got KOed

    Usyk won 9 rounds in the first and 8 rounds in the second fight against AJ

    So what are you talking about?

    Ruiz put the fear of god in Joshua's abilities with that TKO. Then Ruiz laying off of the tacos, he could've done the same thing the second time around, but thats the problem with HW, no limits to weight gain or loss.

    Usyk IMO is the best HW in the world until someone gets in there with him, and proves otherwise.

    Same old story again as the usual BS flowed from the Dazn commentators. Joshua never had many amateur fights/he’s learning on the job/he’s learned to take his time/he’s with a new trainer/he’s trying new things/he needs to gel with his new trainer/Helenius is a World class heavyweight ! Ffs he’s an Olympic gold medal winner and former two time Unified World champion and now 33 years old.dropped off Wlad he lost a bit of his game,quit against a hand picked Ruiz after getting dropped multiple times and has never recovered,thoroughly out boxed by a former Cruiserweight not once but twice and never knew how to change anything let alone impose his size or power. Looked very poor against Franklin and far too hesitant against a hand picked Helenius then eventually closed the show in style once Helenius predictably tired after fighting seven days prior. Joshua is mentally shot it’s all a charade at this point in time and no doubt Hearn/Dazn will cash him in against Wilder whilst they still can .

    Looked to me like AJ wanted to get some rounds in, which isn't such a bad thing. Sure he's messed up in the head but I don't think he's as bad as the current consensus would have you believe.
