    Joshua-vs-Usyk would be tricky. Not sure Usyk can easily hurt AJ but he'll try speedy punching combinations a la Ruiz to make AJ go into a panic. AJ cannot outrun Usyk so it will be tricky for AJ if it goes the distance. Personally, I think Usyk is an ordinary fighter at HW given the size and power of today's HWs. He is no Holyfield and would struggle in engaging.
    I think Joshua is concerned about Usyk. It will be hard to look good against Usyk.

    Your point about Usyk being ordinary at heavy weight is a great one. I would implore anyone to watch Usyk fight at cruiser. He was a demon...Head movement, angles, tempo changes, body punches... In his last fights? Moves with head held high, no body movement, goes straight back/no angles. My theory is that usyk needs to be somewhat physical to control an opponent and was a strong cruiser. Usyk will get hit with something when he steps up... Chisora almost cllocked him good a few times, and Derrick was really slow.
