    Usyk has a better chance of beating AJ than Gassiev does. AJ by KO

    He is seeing Tweety Birds only if he forget to block it.
    His chin is OK but not A grade.

    Possibly, a Gassiev left hook can make anybody see tweety birds from what I've seen so far. What we haven't seen from him yet is how he takes a shot back. If he's going to fight at HW with the same pressure he has applied thus far as CW then he's also going to be there for Joshua to tee off on as well. Which could be bad news if he doesn't have a Vitali level diamond chin.

    Ultimately I think Usyk has the trickier style for Joshua.

    I still think Usyk has the better chance at pulling the upset, although seeing as how reluctant AJ's been in his last two matches to aggressively walk down one guy that could badly hurt him in Wlad, so that was for good reason, but Takam not quite as much, yeah he was doing a lot of things that made it hard for AJ to land clean and was landing decent counters to make AJ hesitant, but it speaks volumes about how much AJ questions his own chin. Usyk has the skills to win and enough pop to give AJ pause, but Gassiev has decent enough skills and more than enough pop to give AJ a lot of pause, which allows an opening for him to potentially exploit.

    just because I didn't say ko doesn't mean I don't think it would be a easy win for aj lol..gassiev is a puncher and that's it.. aj would Ud him wide. aj isn't going to ko everyone... other ways to win like a dominant Ud.

    If you thinks that all Gassiev is, then watch some more of him, he's got a few more wrinkles in his game than being a puncher.

    Gassiev and Usyk would be bigger than many of the heavyweights of old so I don't know what difference that would make.

    AJ will stop him. I don't see any cruiserweights beating AJ or Wilder, they are just too big and powerful.

    I can't believe how many names have been tipped to beat Joshua since the Takam fight, fury, Wilder, Miller, ruiz, Parker, Ortiz, usyk, gassiev will all beat him apparently.

    Gassiev is a front foot fighter and any guy that moves forward will play into Joshua's strengths. Bad clash of styles for Murat.

    Not sure if you noticed, but AJ has shown plenty of vulnerabilities in his last 2 fights, stop acting like its some form of heresy to say that fights with young KO artists aren't sure thing wins for AJ. That's part of the reason people react the way they do to AJ.
