If Usyk does not TKO Takam then he is the most overrated HW ever.

    Knockouts are an important yardstick when it comes to fighting a journeyman. Sorry but if a top HW boxer cannot KO a journeyman then it reflects badly on them. UD is a poor result imo.

    That's quite a blanket declarative statement you've made there. Plenty of journeymen are impossible to KO, and plenty of world class fighters are easy to if you catch them right.

    Well he had the Takam fight before he fought AJ. So he was top 5 despite not having knocked Takam so my original point still stands.

    You must have HW greats Ali, Johnson and Holmes pretty low on your all time HW's list then, as they all had muliple decisions against journeymen and gatekeepers on their record during their primes.

    Usyk will box rings around him but he’s not gonna stop Takam. I think Takam could go into survival mode towards the end of the fight, wide Usyk decision.

    Nah, if Usyk even wins one round, then it'd prove just how insanely overrated this heavyweight division is. Considering he was supposed to be a puny irrelevant cruiser weight that never stood any chance against anybody.

    Since Usyk is horrible with 0 boxing skills, 0 speed, 0 power, 0 athleticism and 0 everything, Takam should literally blow this 0 nobody in Usyk in the first few seconds of the first round with the most devastating KO in the history of the sport of boxing. Anything short of that, will expose the heavyweight division of being a joke to the max.

    Fury wouldn't stop Takam. he'd only even face him if Takam had a belt. fury is a world class ducker.

    Chisora was taking a bit of a beating until he land that big punch that swung it for him.

    Aren't you going to look like a jackass when Usyk sparks his ass out cold in 5.

    He'll just reframe and pick the next opponent's name. 'If Uysk doesn't TKO *insert name here*....."

    The end game is 'If Uysk doesn't TKO Joshua....."
