    Look at the head on this guy. When I saw the thumbnail, it put me in mind of that thing scientists designed to survive car accidents.

    Anderson fights like the big guy, but when he fights for a title he may be the smaller man.

    This is something he'll have to overcome. I'm becoming a little optimistic about him. He doesn't appear to he a special talent but neither does his competition.

    Usyk boxed his ears off, he`s too easy to hit to fight bigger heavies.

    He's already explained he moves in and out of range against taller opponents. Ask Fury, he tips him to be the next dominant champion despite the fact that he's also sparring with Efe Ajagba. Anderson is probably giving him some decent rounds in sparring. And not just Tyson Fury, John Fury says this as well.

    I don't think we will have new great HW in the next 5 years.

    Nobody is great right now, they are solid fighters, but word "great" is not something that can describe this era of HWs

    I think Britain Will dominate the heavyweight division for a long time. After fury and Joshua are gone we will have Dylan Whyte, Joe Joyce and Daniel Dubois competing for the titles.

    Why not? Fury and Joshua are Great and could arguably beat any all time great heavyweight.

    Joyce is near the same age as AJ and Dubois is nowhere near world class right now, Jarrell Miller would beat Dubois.

    Nobody should be called great, when never defend his tittle, and nobody should called great and be a quitter and protected so much

    There is close to 5 years age difference between AJ and Joyce

    No one at heavy bar fury is stylistically similar to Usyk. None can move like him for 12 rounds at his pace

    Hrgovic will most likely out of todays crop be a fairly dominant champion

    But PPV, advertisements, endorsements etc

    Aint a single one out there that can be the face to do that level of business after AJ moves on

    In the wrong direction too. AJ is still relatively young he has a lot of career in front of him if that's what he wants.
