I think usyk more skilled than haye, skills pay bills. Beating cisora is a good win, usyk is now equal to dillian whyte and parker at least

I think Usyk will embarrass Joshua and make him look ******.

David Haye was a spectacular fighter and a great Cruiserweight Unified Champion. But as an analyst and predictor of fight outcomes all serious observers know he has been much less impressive. For example his predicting Wilder would beat Fury. The problem with Haye's analyses is they are too simplistic, meaning they take into account too few factors to get the predictions right. As usual his analysis of Usyk versus A.J. is correct as far as it goes - lacking the power of the huge men, it will be hard for the smaller Usyk to keep the larger, stronger man at distance says Haye, so he predicts A.J. will win. But he fails to take into account that Usyk has been playing a strategic psychological game with A.J. which includes not showing all his strength and all his repertoire in the fights leading up to his clash with the Heavyweight Champion. Usyk knows A.J. is studying these fights to develop his game plan for fighting him, and he has been deliberately hiding some of his repertoire to mislead the Champion. People like Haye who don't have Usyk's chess playing mentality, don't strategise long term to the same degree Usyk does won't recognise that Usyk is fighting in such a way as to mislead A.J. The result will be the Usyk who shows up for the A.J. showdown will not be the one A.J. is expecting - that is a key part of the Usyk strategy that Haye has not recognised and so has not taken into account in his analysis that guides his prediction. Whether Usyk can defeat the Champion remains to be seen. But he will have created an element of surprise that gives an advantage which often leads to victory in war. The Usyk fight with A.J. will be a war - a mental and physical war between two boxers - and it will be very interesting to see if A.J. can adjust to the surprises which are coming his way, or whether Usyk will use them to such advantage that A.J. will be thrown off balance and lose. I can hardly wait for the bell which will start this Boxing Chess Game. I think it will be a great fight.

Haye also said he’d knock out Bellew with one jab and we all know how that went.

I love the crystal ball predictions. It gives you so much legitimacy in the future when you are wrong!

There's nothing to suggest usyk has a weak chin. Haye is just linking himself to that fight because he's got that bull**** exhibition and wants the attention
