If Anthony Joshua beats Tyson Fury, Oleksandr Usyk will he finally get respect?

    I'd agree that he's probably better (he hasn't really beaten anyone of note besides AJ, though), but I still think it will be used by many to dismiss him for a while yet - at least unless Ruiz gets some impressive wins.

    AJ couldn`t beat Ali, Tyson and Louis though, just saying. Louis was a lot smaller than Fury though and a bit smaller than Usyk so maybe AJ could have beaten him.

    As of today using the words "Anthony Joshua beats Tyson Fury" is now considered a war crime under the Geneva convention.

    :lol: To the best of my knowledge she hasn't been informed about it yet and is completely unaware of the fact that Kalle wants to match her up with the winner of Fury and AJ.

    Fury yes Usyk no. Joshua beating Fury would put him on top of the world.
    Usyk is getting a lot of credit for mid level accomplishments. He needs to beat
    better than Witherspoon and Chisora to be a top heavyweight contender.
    Thing is if they put him in with Wilder, Ortiz, Ruiz, Povetkin, Whyte, Dubois, Parker, Joyce, etc.
    there will be a couple losses. He lacks the power to overwhelm those guys.
