    Given Usyk & Fury are retiring next year and Wilder looks effectivly retired it's possible...but plenty of heavyweights that will make AJ sweat bullets Zhang,Joyce,Hurgo, Bakole etc.

    A.J. doesn't have what it takes to beat Usyk. The only thing that would ever allow him to win is Usyk getting old. No one is better at beating 40 year old heavyweights than Joshua.

    he caught him clean before and nothing happened . He got schooled twice. Usyk is superior to joshua and there is nothing you can do.

    He did hurt Usyk badly to the body, and they were with legit shots, not ballbag specials a la Daniel Golotois.

    Enough to have Usyk backing up and trying to ride it out.

    in that case he hurt joshua numerous times . Fury was dropped like 8 times , so speaking of Top 3 HW’s Usyk still comes out as the one who wasn’t really hurt.

    I've heard somewhere that styles make fights. Usyk all day.

    Besides Eddie Hearn jabbering about AJ, why does he deserve another shot at Usyk? I don't think he does; Hrgovic probably more so or even Zhang.

    Perfectly stated. People read too much into his recent winning streak, against weak competition.

    AJ will end up with the best resume of this era, he'll beat Hrbovic next June and then go on from there.

    Why does this forum froth over Hrgovic, the resume is **** house and he just fought a out and out bum when even DDD was willing to take a risky fight after a loss.

    I don't rate him highly at all, it's the boxing barons who do. I believe he is next in line to fight the winner of Usyk-Fury by the IBF or IBC whatever it is.
