    You could it that way, even though some of the early rounds were close, Usyk won in convincing fashion.

    The AJ of fight two would have beaten any other active heavyweight that night, in my humble opinion. Best I've seen him

    I'd need to rewatch the fight, but I don't recall AJ having more than one clear round tbh.

    It was an 11-1, 10-2 type of fight that Joshua gets far too much credit for. His fanboys have tried to turn a 10-2 loss into a "Competitive bout with a slick ATG southpaw!". I don't think it's terribly clever to follow a superior boxer around the ring and do nothing, have a flurry (while landing little) in round 9, then get beat up some more.

    He won 4-5 rounds. That's competitive. The fight was close until the 10th.

    He definitely won 4. 5 is the most you can give him, but 4 is probably closer to how the things went. Just like Fury in both Usyk fights.

    No he definitely didn't win 4. He won 3 at most, maybe 4 if you give him every benefit of the doubt

    Usyk even took a round or 2 off in the fight. It was not competitive like the Fury fights.

    AJ outlanded Usyk 95-91 in the first 9 rounds, including 73-69 in power punches. Saying it wasn't competitive is just straight out delusional. It was very, very close up until that point. Usyk of course schooled Joshua in the last 3 rounds, but during that stretch, AJ was holding his own. Additionally, he wasn't getting bullied and dropped by the middleweight, taking similar amount of punches to Fury. He also took on younger and better version of Usyk. If you're saying Usyk Fury fights were competitive ain't no way the Usyk AJ rematch wasn't. It was close enough one judge tried to rob Usyk, just like in the first Fury fight.

    I could argue that stats also show usyk out landed Joshua 9 of the 12 rounds. But what's the point, you are narcissistic and never accept when you are wrong
    So agree to disagree

    Fury outlanded usyk in the first 10 rounds, because of big middle rounds, but everyone knows boxing is scored on a round by round basis

    It's silly to say Aj won 5 rounds in that fight

    I don't think he's a fraud I just think we had so many great champions that everyone thinks that someone that big and tall with his amateur experience is going to be as great as say someone like Lennox Lewis and when they don't beat the guys Lenox did or that level somehow we get disappointed. He was a good fighter he was not great talking about Joshua. But he had it to boxing he was he's a good fighter
