    Too small for the big guys and the current Bridgerweight Division would have been perfect for him.

    Exactly this Jim and no doubt we would hear ‘former world heavyweight championship challenger and it only takes one punch at heavyweight Parsons!’

    Yuck.

    Prime Povetkin was superbad and a match for most, the way Joshua handed him his first KO defeat was pretty special, absolutely destroyed a very dangerous opponent who was far from finished yet, just ask Hughie and Whyte.

    Sorry man, I can't agree with that, even way past his best he cracked the chin of Whyte better than anyone has, there's also this which will live on in boxing folklore forever

    The Usyk first fight was a mandatory i believe, or i may be mistaken.
    So it was no voluntary.

    Yeah I think the op meant the rematch was a voluntary which it wasn't in reality, Joshua had no choice.

    Usyk was WBO mandatory. He also looked poor in his two previous heavyweight fights.

    I agree I thought he was decent and I was surprised how easily Wlad handled him, but he then he was twice the size of him.

    The is the most ridiculous post I’ve read in a while. Deserves a knighthood because he boxed Usyk twice, what are you talking about? This is why people out you as a Joshua fan boy.
