Comments Thread For: Team Usyk: We Are Waiting To See if Joshua is Brave Enough To Be Dethroned

[Mammoth]

Usyk has been mandatory for 2 years, he deserves his title shot. Dillian Whyte cried while pretending to be mandatory so Usyk has been extremely respectable in comparison.

Edward as delusional as ever.
If his cash cow boxed just 3 time's a year instead of every 6-9 month's we'd have none of these issues.
All Edward has done is play moneyball boxing with his cash cow, alway's picking the slowest oldest weakest option. 4 of Ajs last 6 opponents were 38-41 with only 5 good rounds in them.
Edward won't make a deal without a safety net of never ending rematch clauses, Aj isn't a sportsman, he's a coward & never boxed a top 2 heavyweight of his own generation yet the other 2 of the top 3 are getting it on for a 3rd time & took less than a week to sign.
Meanwhile Edward crys & lies.

Usyk is the biggest and best fight for AJ in the absence of the Fury fight. Unlike some I dont consider AJ a ducker or a paper champ, I think his level of opposition has been the most consistently solid out of any HW. That said, if this fight doesnt happen there are no excuses, it would be a bad look and will come across like a duck.

You serious?
4 of Ajs last 6 were 38-41 year's old and shot, slow with only 5 good rounds in them. He's never boxed a top 2 heavyweight of his own generation or been in a 5050 fight.
Fury's boxed 2 world number 1s for all the belts in theyre own back yards as the underdog which is why he's number 1 in every ranking system.
Edward's simply looking to sweeten Usyks pot to add the never ending rematch clause & call it a gentleman's agreement. Aj doesn't have the bottle to have a real fight with everything on the line, winner takes all as it should be.

"Consistent" being the key word in my post. Yes Fury fought Wilder, but his other 4 wins since his comeback are against Wallin, Seferi, Pianeta and Schwarz. Opponents AJ would get universally ridiculed for fighting. Wilder is the only current top 10 level guy Fury has fought, and Ortiz is the only other current top 10 level guy Wilder has fought, and Wilder is the only current top 10 guy Ortiz has fought, you get the picture.

AJ has fought 4 of the current top 10 (and has the same top win in common with Fury ie Wlad). Hes fought Whyte, Parker, Ruiz and Povetkin. Plus Whyte and Parker fought each other, Parker and Ruiz fought each other, Whyte and Povetkin fought each other, Hunter and Povetkin fought each other, Whyte and Rivas fought each other. So theres been a lot of action between the top 10 while for some reason Fury, Wilder and Ortiz seem to be in their own bubble.

So many idiots here saying bs about Aj ducking, whoever is dumb enough not to see Usyk is after the fat check is an idiot... Eddie is just trying to pay them only what he deserve not over paying, imo why he said he won't go to purse bid

[PunchyPotorff]

Whether it even happens is still an open question... but if it does... IMO Joshua wins unless Usyk out boxes him over 12. Because Usyk doesn't have nearly the pop that Joshua has. And you could add Usyk having less power than the bulk of top HWs currently. He is a good boxer though, I will give credit. It's just that all Joshua has to do is lean on Usyk and wear him down, then finish him mid/late rounds. Do A 'Fury', like he did on Wilder. It will be an interesting fight though... with so many questions being answered. Hope it happens, so we can get the big one scheduled.

Honestly don't think Joshua will fear Usyk at all , once Usyk feels the power of an AJ punch the fear will be on him

[DaNeutral.]

Come on Joshua and Hearn get on with it, with Fury and Wilder fkking about fighting each other on repeat what else is there to do other than defend your titles.

[Corelone]

Everybody saw the AJ and Andy show. Andy shook AJ every time he touched him. The AJ soft cranium, whole head target, is a serious defect. Andy isnt that type of puncher, and Ron Lyle was a very heavy hitter.

What's the problem with a purse bid? Wouldn't that go 80/20 to Joshua? Is the issue here not so much about a fear of Usyk but more about Joshua and Hearn's greed?
