    Usyk tried his hardest in the last round of the first fight to stop Joshua but didn’t and I don’t really remember at any point in the rematch when he even looked like stopping Joshua. If Usyk could have stopped Joshua then he would have simple as that. Once more Usyks guard drops with his humbleness.

    Stop. If he could have, he would have.

    He had a chance to KO AJ in 12th round of their 1st bout. Usyk needed 20-30 more seconds to do that. He is not a hard hitter, but AJ was clearly on unsteady legs.

    What matters is what did happen, not what could have happened. Joshua went 24 rounds with Usyk and if Usyk could have knocked him out he should have and probably would have done that.

    He'll get robbed blind against Fury if he leaves it to the judges. Of course Fury would have to man up first.

    I'm sure he could of if he really wanted to. Had he put his foot on the gas a bit earlier in the first fight he surely would have and he had AJ in some bother in round 10 of the rematch when he slipped out of 2nd gear. He could hit him pretty much at will when wanted to just by upping the tempo.

    20 more seconds in the end of the first fight and A.J. was going to be on the canvas.

    Enough power to make Fury duck.

    I think it was tactical errors on Joshua's part. He should have jumped on him in the second fight instead he tried to outbox him again

    I don't think it's even nearly true of the second fight but I, maybe, accept that it might be of the first. Joshua was more than 'ready to go' at the very end.
