    Serious question if anyone knows: has Joshua ever fought a southpaw?

      Joyce should rematch Hrgovic, their WBS fight was a war

          I'd pick Joshua to win. I'm intrigued though.

            Usyk is the better Boxer but he doesnt look as comfortable in this division as some other Cruiser come Heavies have done in making that transition. His quality is good enough to make him a threat though. I'd very much favour Joshua over Usyk but I'm sure Usyk won't make it easy for him at all.

              Usyk is a cruiserweight and had no power there, has less in HW.

              Anthony Joshua wins easy.

                REDEEMER has gone missing. Put his picture on a milk carton.

                He's avoiding this thread like the plague. Ha.

                  Joshua’s style will give Usyk far too much room to work. AJ isn’t a high paced pressure fighter, if he tried, he would gas.

                  this will be far more of a boxing match and Usyk is superior in many departments.

                  still, it’s an excellent fight.
                  Bookmarked....... Self claimed mr knowledgeable making his prediction. The BJS one didn't go to well, i see this being worse.

                    A lot of my predictions go well. Even down to smaller fights, like saying Tennyson would lose that fight the other week, despite your Sky idols saying he could beat Tank. You probably thought Tennyson was world class.

                    For the record I’d slightly favour AJ right now simply on pro HW experience, but it’s no easy fight. I’d give AJ big credit if he wins because stylistically I don’t think it’s a great fight for him. If he’s not at his very best or prepared 100% with a game plan, he loses this fight.

                    I’d say it’s a 50–50 or even 60-40 Usyk if he had shown a really good HW performance, but he hasn’t yet. His talent is far greater than AJ. AJ is a stiff dummy. We just haven’t seen Usyk’s talent at HW yet.

                      You're definitely more knowledgeable on those lower weights. I don't really care about them TBH. I just don't see how Usyk can win, everything is against him. Inside fighting is easily nullified with holding and he lacks power. It all looks like an easy UD/KO for Joshua. I'd give any other top 10 more of a chance.

                      I should be building him up to make Joshua's win look better shouldn't i? That would be the fanboy thing to do.
