    I'm rooting for Usyk so I hope AJ comes in at 270lb.

    He'll throw one power punch and spend the rest of the round gasping for air.

    Exactly, it wasn't Chisora's size, it was his engine. Joshua doesn't have the engine of a Chisora so to suggest a guy with stamina problems come in with excess baggage to duplicate a style he literally can't is foolhardy

    SNV had mad skills.
    Only he knew how to break people's hands with his head.

    This would have been a better gameplan for the bodybuilder.

    Coming in lighter worked against Ruiz, even with the added bulk, he wasn't going to knock him out. Usyk is a different case, the added stamina didn't help him. And the ligther frame made him lose his punching power. Needs to go back to looking like Ronnie Coleman. that's his only hope in stopping that puny cruiserweight.

    It's actually funny that Fury makes men this big look small. Wilder looked like a welterweight next to him. AJ's frame would also look small.

    People don't understand that Chisora has a completly different style. Chisora is a dog. A gritty vet who tries to bully you. AJ isn't all that. AJ hasn't the same grit and hates to engage in close range, especially against sharp and fast opponents (Ruiz, Povetkin). AJ can't walk opponents down. AJ can't fight head to head or in the clinch because his inside game sucks (no head movement, bad reflexes, doesn't see shot coming, weak clinch, extremely open to uppercuts and hooks).

    Bulking up to 265-270 would be a disaster for AJ. He would be gassed at the halfway point and probably gets stopped in the second half.

    AJ just isn't very good. There are levels to this game and Usyk is on a different planet. The only chance for AJ to beat Usyk is a lucky crazy punch and one shot KO. Or a robbery of course. If they find another three Howard Fosters he probably can sneak out a decision in the rematch lmfao. No, seriously...Usyk is gonna beat him again and again and again. They could fight 10 times and Usyk wins 9 times guaranteed and most likely 10 times.

    Can we stop with this Chisora nonsenses. Usyk is always fair and tell it how it is. He say he was far far far far from his best against Chisora. He had hard COVID, and then an injured hand and even undergo surgery. He even said that he had like 2 training session for the Chisora fight.
    If Usyk is in shape, Chisora won't win more than 2 rounds, and will probably get KOed.
