    I’m seeing a lot of this online, people saying ‘this version of AJ beats Usyk’. Eddie Hearn also commented saying that this AJ beats Usyk and any heavyweight.

    Do you think this is accurate? Do you think that this is even a different version to the one that fought Usyk, or is it only different cause he’s fighting guys a lot lower level to what Usyk is so it’s just making it look like AJ is different now.

    I think there is some merit to it, like AJ has more confidence now, seems a lot more relaxed, and he will also know now about the supposed weakness that is Usyks body.
    But I still think Usyk beats him.

    Maybe yes, maybe no but the fact is he has 2 chances to beat Usyk and got clearly beaten both times.

    No version of Joshua beats Usyk unless Usyk massively declines.

    Joshua beats Fury though.

    No. Usyk doesn’t get caught with shots thrown from the other side of the ****ing arena. Lol

    ‘THIS’ version of joshua gets outboxed again and throws another post fight tantrum.

    No. I don't know why everyone on here is getting so hyped up about tonight. Nice KO, but it's what a pro boxer should do to a MMA fighter in the ring.

    Usyk isn't an easy target like Ngannou.

    I mean Joshua already had two chances against the slightly past prime version of Usyk… so… why should he get another shot at a 38 year old past prime Usyk???

    Not the versions of Usyk that he already fought, no. Maybe after Usyk has had two fights with Fury he will have declined enough, and Joshua will have improved enough to win.

    Not if Usyk maintains the same level he displayed in the two fights in which he decisively beat Joshua. Joshua has been fighting lower level HWs and an MMA side show to enhance his confidence. Usyk is levels above those guys.

    He wins if Usyk puts his hands behind his back, closes his eyes and sticks his chin right out in front of AJ so he can blast him out in a couple of rounds.
