    Fair enough and a surprise response bc its actually intelligent( a rarity on here) but Joshuas style is built to literally crush all and be the end all bc it matches with any style that boxing has,and if not ...i havent seen it yet.

    Actually i have and it was in Rocky 4! Lets get Ivan Drago in and then?

    The funny thing is i have the Usyk style but also can fight orthodox and have punching power with more solid stance in the pocket,you cannot win without power against Joshua YOU CANT! ...I havent seen anyone that would or could outpoint the guy beyond a Klitchko against a green Joshua who wont be green much longer .And Joshua can just go in on ANYONE if he feels frustrated.

    For Usyk to defeat Joshua he not only has to overcome all the mentioned but be better than Klitchko( HAHAHAHA) bc hes going against a much improved Joshua by then anyway!

    Dont follow the morons they are going to crash HARD!

    "Crash hard"? Like your prediction of Perez over Breidis today? For someone who claims to not watch CW's you sure seem to have some very polarizing opinions on several of them.

    Power is the only reason i give AJ a good shot at stopping Usyk. Everything else Usyk is like two or three levels above AJ. His stamina is horrendous.

    Hughie is craftier than Usyk? Usky has more ring smarts in his little finger than all of the Fury's combined.

    Usyk beats all the current top 10 bar Joshua and Povetkin imo.

    The Joshua fight would be a toss up, Usyk is far more polished, if he handles Joshua's power then I can see him peppering Joshua to a points win.

    I actually think Usyk will prosper against the bigger men.

    Usyk has a style built to cause big men fits. His only problem is his lack of power, which might improve if he was allowed to pack on a few pounds, but might inversely affect his overall performance too.

    He has also spared with Heavyweights before. If he can take the shots, he is skill wise way better than everyone else.

    However, in Heavweight, power just means more than it does in other divisions.

    Joshua is the main man in the division, if he can get past seven rounds, he can really frustrate and tire Joshua. He has shown good stamina so far.

    Chris Byrd was able to successfully compete with large heavyweights, and Usyk has even more potential than him. He'd already be my favourite against anyone in the top ten not named Joshua, Povetkin, Ortiz or Parker. Probably beats Parker to be fair.

    He WILL outbox every heavyweight, the question is if he can resist an inevitable bomb from someone like Joshua, he can school AJ all night long but one big right hand and it might be sleepy time for Usyk, his chin looks okay but it hasn't been massively tested.

    AJ would flatten him once he starts landing clean, Usyk is a special talent and would beat anyone outside of AJ and Wilder, their size and power are just big for him imo.

    He'd be a huge favourite against Wilder. Wilder is garbage.

    If he wasn't, it'd be worth lumping $$$$ on him. Fat stacks in return.

    Does anyone know whether Usyk has ever been dropped?
