Yes. Both Fury and Wilder had a chance to fight AJ if they really wanted to and they both bottled it. Joshua is a good boxer with huge power. Wilder is more explosive than AJ, granted, but he is levels below him as a boxer. Fury is a level above AJ as a boxer but his power can't compare. Usyk, barring some freak hit (and it might happen, Wilder has made a career out of it) should box Wilder's ears off and probably stops him late.
Usyk would wear Wilder out physically and pile up points to win late. Wilder might drop him if he hits a lucky shot, but make no mistake, for him to hit Usyk would require luck.
Actually I think there is a greater chance Usky wins by KO. I doubt Wilder would land his punch flush on Usyk
it is the opposite. it has already been confirmed that AJ turned down 50 million dollars to fight Wilder in America in 2018. it is clear AJ and Hearn sabotaged the chance to secure 40% of a Fury fight recently because they will never accept being B side & risking his career .
Shelly Finkel, manager of Deontay Wilder, has responded to Eddie Hearn's claims that he ignored the offer of a fight against Anthony Joshua. Finkel admitted that he ignored Hearn's approach to organise a mouth-watering clash between Wilder and Joshua, instead choosing to focus on the American's upcoming fight with Finland's Robert Helenius. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/b...-set-Deontay-Wilder-Anthony-Joshua-clash.html Who knows, maybe we still see this. A much much better fight than Wilder / Helenius or Fury / Chisora.
The Dosser's fans are all over social media claiming he'll KO Usyk and hyping the crap out of The Dosser for knocking out Helenius like he's just beaten an ATG and not a near 39 y/o former sparring partner who was KO'd by former Dosser KO victims Duhaupas and Washington both of whom are garbage and always have been. These same cretins who hype up his woeful opposition like he's slaying ATGs and not bums and D levels and act like he isn't a can-crushing cherrypicking manufactured fraud are the exact same cretins who crucify Loma and Clenelo and refer to them as ''hype jobs.'' It really does beggar belief how ignorant and vile they are. You'll never hear a peep out of them about the WBC still having The Dosser ranked #1 after coming of one-sided sans one round brutal back-to-back KO defeats in his own backyard and now they're acting like he deserves to waltz into a title fight off the back of beating a near 39 y/io Helenius who has only beaten the bang average Kownacki in over a decade. Helenius' second best win since 2011 is Erkan Teper for goodness sake. The level of Helenius' competition over the last decade or so is significantly worse than The Dosser's has been and that's really saying something But if AJ can hit Usyk then Wilder will knock him out. Yeah because it's really that simple
Wilder would win this imo, totally different fighter to AJ. Personally I doubt Usyk wants any part of it - the Fury fight will be his last fight at HW.
I see Usyk as just under Fury as best heavy in the world. But I might be putting the cart before the horse; we still haven't really seen his chin or resolve sorely tested. I'm not sure he ever got caught flush by AJ, and neither fight looked like he was fighting for his life. Granted, that may be more testament to AJ''s relative lack of skill...
Usyk streets ahead in every department over Wilder except POWER. Wilder has had everybody he’s fought on the canvas at some point and it would be stupid to think he could not do the same to Usyk. Wilder has beaten plenty of boxers better than him due to his power alone and that’s what makes his fights so exciting .
I whole heartedly disagree, Wilder is a massive jump up in power. He has the single hardest punch since Earnie Shavers.
My boxing algorithm, designed by MIT scientists, has determined a ration of 80/20 for an Usyk win, or looking at it from Wilders' reference, it's 20/80 to win. The major parameters are Usyks footwork and head movement, as against Wilders' historical one punch power.
