    Yes.

    AJ is predictable, robotic, doesn't possess a fight IQ like Usyk, and is there for the taking against a smart boxer like Usyk.

    Usyk would bamboozle him with volume, pressure and angles.

    Depends when he moves up. Usyk is not that young either. He might not have the power to keep the giant HWs at bay. Prior to the Klitschko fight I also thought Usyk would beat Joshua down the line. But Huck actually landed some decent shots, if those came from Joshua it's lights out.

    Not even a given that Usyk cleans outs the CWs. His angles and combination punching were sublime last night though.

    Yes, usyk isn't as devastating a puncher as some people made out, but I feel he'd be too clever for AJ

    P4P better than AJ but he wouldn't beat AJ. The size and power would be the difference.

    Usyk is good but a little bit overrated. Not good enough to overcome AJ's size and power advantage. He wouldn't be able to keep AJ off him .

    AJ will knock him out.
    More likely they both get knocked out sometime before they get a chance to realistically meet.

    YES!!!
    Jo Joyce is more robotic than AJ but watch him v usyk in WSB and you will see how he beats the bigger man.

    Come off it, Joshua knocks him out cold. He's just too huge.

    Wilder will have beaten Joshua before talk of a Usyk fight ever becomes a 'thing'.

    No chance

    Likes to wear his opponets down .. how exactly is he going to wear down Joshua . He doesn't have the power to keep him off or even respect him

    Often eats straight right counters and goes back in straight lines with his gloves up. Perfect for Joshua to let his hands go. Saying that as a hw he would often move his head.. prob not bothered against cw

    I'm sure he could outbox or Fox him for a while but he's not big or strong enough

    A fight I would love to see as I'm sure many others would also. A lot depends how Usyk carries the weight up. He is better than AJ in most departments.
    Joshua is a weapon though, if he got Usyk hurt, it would be hard for the inevitable not to happen.

    Usyk is amazing, hard to say who wins him or AJ...testament to how good Usyk is that people are saying he has a decent shot at beating the current HW #1
