    Pretty solid list I am surprised AJ didn't make the cut but Fury and Briedis did appear to land the most shots on him.

    AJ chose to employe the post-Ruiz boxing style against him. He probably never got properly hit.

    Thought 1"There were so many choices.

    Thought 2 Poor AJ. Maybe this is Usyks way of motivating him.

    What happened to the horse? It used to be a horse.

    Pre Ruiz AJ would have given Usyk a way better fight than Post Ruiz AJ did. Pre Ruiz AJ was a bad boy, Post Ruiz AJ is just a broken kitten.

    Here it is, folks. The beginning of "mythical one year prime AJ". Behold, a boxer whose "prime" ended right when he stopped facing old dudes.

    He was a bad man for that year though!

    Any version of Joshua gets dominated by Usyk.

    He landed a tremendous flush shot in the early rounds but Usyk ate it like it was nothing. I remember this was the moment it was apparent Usyk has a godly chin to go along with all of his other attributes.

    The horse kicked his eggs so he became a queen instead of a king , a little bit soft to the beltline now like we saw at dubois1 , crying to the referee and making a story to fight now a pharao in egypt ;-)

    Honestly, that's not much of a power puncher list for a heavyweight.

    Nah, Joshua got him clean several times, and clearly stun him in the rematch.
    But so did the other guys on the list, however it still surprises me that he felt Chisora´s power the most. I re-watched the fight a little while back and Usyk had a really though time with Chisora´s physicality, and even blocked punches moved Usyk back or off balance.

    I guess he's buttering us up for a potential Chisora rematch then?
