    Calling Usyk an all time great is ridiculous but then we have some absolute weapons on here.

    The thing for me is these huge heavyweights like Lewis, the Klitschko's and Fury, when they use their size and make it ugly, they look strong and you can and see it's really bothering their opponent. But I've never really seen that from Joshua, despite him looking the part. He tried it a bit early on against Povetkin and Takam and it didn't really work. All it did was allow them into the fight and they had some success up close, until Joshua went back to using his height and reach to work behind the jab. Then the last fighter he tried to jump on and aggressively use his superior physical attributes against was Ruiz in their first fight, and we all saw how that ended. I just don't see any way he can win.

    he clearly is an all time great

    p4p number 1, undefeated
    unified all the belts at cruiser
    moved up and is the unified heavyweight champ despite being undersized
    beat all his opponents in their backyards and they were all big punchers and many were undefeated
    olympic gold medalist
    world championship gold medalist
    cruiser champ in record time, unified champ in record time, undefeated in wsb ETC!

    he's a very special, exceptional fighter whos done it the hard way. And clearly an ATG.

    Its very clear to everyone unless your some ldbc type hater.

    Beat Fury (he won't) and I'll gladly call the man an all time heavyweight* great.

    *He's an all time great at cruiser.

    Bet you thought Joshua was gonna beat Usyk too.

    Usyk 100% wants the Fury fight. Fury seems possibly afraid. It's a 50/50 fight for me, but what's very clear is Usyk is the only one out of the two who 100% wants it to happen. It's a shame Fury isn't so confident with facing Usyk.

    I did and I got it wrong. I reckon he's going to do it this time round as well, what do I know..

    Fury is afraid of Usyk? Okay then.

    Possibly. Seems to be something putting him off wanting to face Usyk. Despite the trash talk, he knows it'd be a very tough fight.

    He's always said the blown up cruiserweight Cunningham was his hardest fight. Well Usyk is a far better version of Cunningham!

    Joshua is the bigger fight full stop. All British affair for the undisputed title, that's history my friend.

    If Usyk wins and Fury doesn’t fight him then it’s going in the history books alongside Bowe binning his belt instead of fighting Lewis. It will be a very bad look.

    Will be very disappointed if Tyson Fury follows in the footsteps of Big Joan Fury who was outed as a big shytehouse when Mickey Theo agreed to fight him.

    A win over Usyk will be the cherry on the icing to cement his legacy.

    This is the real fight boxing needs, 2 undefeated fighters with all 4 belts on the line.

    anyone who knows boxing and has no bias. knew Usyk had already won before the fight. Usyk is built differently, and Joshua has always been vastly overrated

    I agree USKY is overrated at heavyweight, struggled with shot chisora and mentally shot Joshua ffs

    great cruiser but the top dogs at heavy walk through him
