    An underreported but nonetheless pivotal part of his success.

    Usyk is much better boxer than joshua, wilder, fury or any other heavyweight and I would love him to succeed, but he’s too small, he also lacks power.
    He can’t KO Juiceshua and he will never get a decision in UK , same thing with wilder in US.

    Sure he might give him something to think about, he wouldn’t beat him though or come close.

    He isn’t gonna outwork the top HWs with pitty pats like he has at cruiser, that’s a kamikaze strategy against big guys that can bang. Usyk isn’t slick or hard to hit, he relies on a high guard which someone with Ortiz’s power will punch straight through. Bellew was tagging Usyk frequently and tagging him clean, if he gets hit like that against Ortiz he will go to sleep.

    Haye lacked fundementals and alot of mentality. He didnt fight klitchko smart, who basically treated him like a kid. Uysk has great fundamentals alot more like Holyfield then Haye who was just an explosive elusive puncher.

    He didnt fear bellew he thought with pure pressure and ground bellew down, also bellew is alot quicker and unpredictable then most HW's.

    youre just thinking about size now. prime small elite fighters beat old slow punchers.

    That sounds so wooden and scripted.

    AJ has the personality of a tin of beans.

    Not buying it, it sounds like a canned speech, he's fake as ****, there's not a genuine bone in AJ's body.

    You have people saying that Usyk is too small. It’s the skills, speed, agility. Anyone remember Chris Byrd? He had moments against big guys at the world level, he’s smaller and not half the fighter that Usyk is. Some claim the heavyweight division isn’t great.. I think it is. I think Usyk beats everyone though. Joshua is class as a man and as a fighter, I don’t get the hate. Maybe it’s because I ignore the politics.

    Usyk might beat everyone but will he get a decision in the UK against the British Cash Cow?

    I don’t know. The fans will know what happened either way. Happened with Fury and Wilder
