    The guy was hyped up to be the next dominant force on the back of beating clowns like Martin, Molina, Paint Dry, Tickling Takam, an old and inactive sloppy seconds version of Klitschko who was coming off a loss, and several other no hopers.

    Tonight you seen the difference between a truly top heavyweight and a "top 10er" that the Joshua fans boast of. @Mitch87

    Joshua is a very good heavyweight, but he's not a great. Not even close. Fury and Usyk are simply on another level and Wilder would knock him out cold.

    99% of people won’t look good standing in front of Usyk.

    Definitely won't, no. But that doesn't mean the stiff idiot isn't overrated. He looked like an absolute prat in their tonight with no brain and no versatility.

    The huge difference was the tactics employed.

    You're taking away from Usyks achievement.

    Usyk is a master boxer and he's impressed me beyond belief. He's the best heavyweight in this generation. But yes Joshua is overrated. He's never going to be up there with Ali, Holmes, Foreman and Lewis. He's lost his fan base. Absolutely terrible ring iq.

    Usyk/Fury 2022

    Can't we just give Usyk credit as opposed to pulling Joshua down?

    Again that’s more credit to Usyk. Losing to Usyk or being made to look silly by him doesn’t make you any less of a boxer. Usyk is a p4p great, he’s top, top quality. Everyone looks stupid against him except maybe Fury. If Fury can impose himself on him like he did against Wilder then it would be a tough ask for Usyk but again, Usyk isn’t Wilder, that game plan isn’t going to work.

    Top, top? Isn't top the top?

    Fury and Usyk are simply in a league of their own. Hilarious how Joshua fanboys try to convince themselves that he'd beat Wilder because Fury has. Wilder would stand a fantastic chance of putting his lights out.

    I'm not taking away from his achievement. It's a very good achievement to beat a very good boxer, but bigger challenges lie ahead.

    I get that but watching the fight tonight joshua looks more on chisoras level tbh. Always felt the way chisora throws his punches from odd angles would make a dangerous fight for joshua....tbf tho chisora gives them all work.

    But joshua,s career will be over if he tries to fight usyk, fury even wilder. After tonight tho he needs to rebuild.

    Fury is still the big willy in this division so to say that he's the best heavyweight in this generation is a bit odd wouldn't you agree?

    Chisora gets beat by anyone decent he faces. AJ is good at ironing out plodders like him.
