    Oh yeah, spot on :thumbsup: nice work.


    Hmmmm That was 5 years ago and like you say, it wasn't much of a "fight" and Martin is probably the worst Heavyweight world champion of all time :lol:

    I don’t think so but anything is possible. Usyk is giving up a lot of size and AJ is better than people around here seem to think. He’s stiff and mechanical but he’s huge and very strong. AJ is a good puncher who has dropped guys much bigger than Usyk.

    I’ll be rooting for Usyk but I wouldn’t put money on this fight. It’s a great 50-50 matchup. And it’s going to be tough for Usyi to get a decision in the UK. Big money on the line because winner gets Fury (or maybe Wilder if he pulls off a miracle).

    Yes, but he'll be comfortably ahead on the cards at the time (the real cards not the judges ones).

    I think people tend to forget what a big puncher Joshua is, and if he hurts Usyk, Usyk is getting stopped.

    I really want Usyk to beat Fury and Joshua.

    If AJ beats Fury, he'll be in top 10-20 ATG heavies
    If Fury beats AJ he'll be in top 10-20 ATG heavies

    If Usyk beats Fury and Joshua, he'll be in top 10 greatest ATG P4P
    Could even make an argument he would cement his place in top 5.

    Being undisputed at CW and HW... that's something that won't be beaten... maybe ever.

    I want Usyk to beat both purely for historical reasons and how Usyk's wins over them would elevate him higher than their wins over Usyk and each other

    Yes usyk is a great fighter but he’s at a serious physical disadvantage here. He’s also coming in at his career heaviest so I doubt he’s gonna be as slick as he usually is. Usyk is also vulnerable to right hands, and AJ’s has only gotten better over time. If Joshua is planning on out boxing Usyk, it’s just gonna give him better opportunities to set up his big right hand on the much smaller Usyk. I can see Usyk getting stopped.

    British glass will shatter. Should be a fun time on the old forum when it does.

    Joshua could stop anybody but I think it likely goes the distance. If AJ gasses he's the one that needs to be worried about getting stopped.

    I also have to disagree about Joshua not pressing action. The pulev fight was only entertaining because of Joshua. I think we will see a different Joshua here. My prediction is he will come in safety first and unload at the right times. I know usyk has never been stopped but he hasn’t faced a hard combo hitter like AJ

    Outboxing Usyk ? Bad gameplan for AJ. There is nobody that can outbox him at the moment.

    Remember when Fury try to box with Cunningham ? he got dropped in the second round, then he starts to beat him up with his size and KOs him.

    AJ has punchers chance, just like everybody else.

    Joshua didn't look good in his last fight and if Pulev had a boxing IQ higher than a gerbil, he could've capitalized. I got Usyk taking this with a great 2nd half performance. AJ supposedly coming in light to box, but he still hits a wall now and again. Usyk needs to study his tapes of Corrie Sanders and pop AJ with quick lefty 1-2's and move, making AJ chase. I wanna see a higher output from Usyk, and stay disciplined if having success, to not get caught. I liked his performance against Joyce but that was long time ago and AJ can hurt you later in the fight too if you don't tale care of business.
