    AJ is far more accurate than Wilder and he couldnt lay a glove on Usyk... get out of here.

    How Shakur Stevenson - who I have nothing against but clearly is nowhere near a top 30 p4p at the moment, let alone top 10- ranked 6 for her is out of this world. And the sad part is she has all the legitimacy in the world to make a top 10 due to her boxing experience, but come on, how is Shakur 6th?

    Usyk would embarrass Wilder so much it's hard to comprehend. Moot given that Fury will destroy Wilder again anayway though.

    Lennox was bigger than almost everyone he fought and he frequently - after he got with Steward - fought behind his jab, and used his weight to his advantage against smaller men. It wasn't always pretty but it was effective. We saw Wlad Klitschko dominate a decade doing pretty much the same thing.

    Often the larger fighter cannot match smaller men for mobility and movement, and it would be stupid of them to go into a fight with only the game plan to rely on the extra reach and the jab. That's why Lennox and Wlad would lean all over their opponents - it sapped their opponent strenght, wore them down, made them less mobile and easier to hit.

    Joshua is "guilty" of wanting to have entertaining fights above winning them, so he doesn't really clinch. His size could have been a real advantage here but he didn't use it - either because he wasn't smart enough himself or he and his team got their strategy wrong.

    Either way, his corner team telling him basically to keep doing the things that hadn't been working the whole fight was bad advice and he needs to seriously consider getting a new trainer if he's going to continue.

    When he was fighting purely for money in the 2010s he aged dramatically.

    Stress does awful things to a body.

    But despite the result, AJ deserves credit

    As much as i like Fury as a boxer, he would have vacated rather than fight Usyk i think

    If that's not a P4P #1 performance, I don't know what the hell else is! Get out of here!

    Hang on!
    Usyk was busted up by the end of the fight, so who was hitting him, his corner men?

    Joshuas blood would have been as thick as a McDonald's milkshake tonight.

    Sort of both, but moreso on Usyk being really really good

    Usyk simply a class above but Joshua stuck in there and was more resilient than I expected.

    Advice for Campbell Soup Hatton - perhaps making cupcakes may be a more suitable career.

    Marcus McDonnell - get to fook and don't disgrace our rings again.
