    Joshua would look like a fool there. This Usyk with this movement and slick defence would make Joshua miss all night long.

    I hope Usyk moves to HW after this.

    He's taking the best shots from Gassiev as if they were jabs.

    He'd have no problem with Joshua's power. He wouldn't even be smart or quick enough to land flush because Usyk gives so many angles and craft in there.

    He’d Get robbed on the cards though, Usyk is too Cossack to get a fair shake in The UK.

    I think he would struggle with the reach.

    No evidence at all that Joshua hits harder than Gassiev or Briedis. Joshua has 0 concussive knockouts (putting opponents to sleep). But Gassiev and Briedis do. So if Usyk can handle Briedis and Gassiev's power, then he can handle Joshua's.

    And if Usyk has enough power to affect both Gassiev and Briedis, then he also has enough power to affect Joshua too.

    This. Usyk has the skill, but his lack of power would get him hurt. Also, Joshua is a better boxer than Gassiev. I knew Gassiev was going to get easily schooled. Joshua's feet aren't as slow as Gassiev's and Joshua has twice the power Gassiev has.

    Usyk's movement would give Joshua problems no doubt, but can he overcome that size and reach and power. It's a fight I want to see, let's hope he moves up now, he's got nothing left to prove at Cruiser.

    'Twice the power' based on what? You'd think someone with 'twice the power' would have actually knocked out least one opponent unconscious? Which Joshua never has!

    Go and watch Gassiev's KO over Jordan Shimmel and then come back and find me one KO that Joshua has, which is as brutal as that.

    And a 41 year old Wladimir Klitschko made Joshua look slow. You're overrated Joshua's speed here. Usyk would look just as fast, if not faster against Joshua than he did against Gassiev.

    AJ is too big, too strong.

    Usyk would win against Parker and Wilder though!

    Gassiev is more talented than Joshua.

    Whatever happens when Usyk moves up, he MUST work more on his power. He needs to get his respect vs. 240-270lbs guys, and more snap is necessary. Otherwise, his speed, stamina, skills, mobility and output makes AJ & Wilder look like junior plodding league.
