Comments Thread For: Oleksandr Usyk Rocks Anthony Joshua, Boxes To Spectacular Decision To Win Heavyweight Titles

[Cyborg Fangerloo]

AJ’s foot movement was master class, if you like boxers that stand still flat footed the entire scrap!

Ha ha ha
I lied about not mocking **** Em, I very feel, not sorry for him.

**** Em is a clown. Dude trolls and pretends he knows about the sport but every post he makes exposes the fact he took up the sport the first time he saw AJ shirtless. He also guaranteed a Takam victory over Joyce (and then subsequently reneged on a bet with another NSB member). He's had so many bad takes its embarrassing.

AJ doesn't have a proper jab. What kind of trainers was in his corners? He used a potent jab once, and it had usyk's head going backward. Wilder and Fury will kill this dude.

AJ has ni e jab w.t.h.y.t.a ... He showed his jab in plenty of fights, He was afraid of Usyk's dip ans counters ...The Cat was too mobile ans unpredictable nullifying AJ both hands

[rckdees]

He was a fraud from day one…but the look on Joshua’s face in the first round when he realized Usyk was a helluva lot faster than he planned was priceless

[Someone88]

WOW! Yes that was an entertaining fight! Joshua did well in some rounds. Usyk put on an amazing performance. Great win for Usyk! Congratulations to him on becoming the Unified World Heavyweight Champion!

Is it safe to say AJ lost his soul in Ruiz 1? Since then he has been reluctant to engage toe to toe and use his best attributes which is size and strength. Has AJ gone soft? Is he afraid of getting caught again like with Ruiz 1? The pulev fight doesn't count because the statue of liberty has more moves than pulev. Ruiz 2 AJ boxed not too get hit but that's victory came at the result of ruiz getting fatter and undisciplined for them rematch. I think AJ lost his hunger. It's more of a business for him of promoting, marketing, and being a celebrity. Until AJ goes back to his roots of becoming a lion again, his career will be coming to and end....unless he keeps fighting 38+ year old man.

The main question is was AJ born a boxer being a bodybuilder or was he born a bodybuilder trying to be a boxer?

[MrShakeAndBake]

You are correct ! But AJ doesn’t hit like Wilder. It would be a great fight .

AJ hits as hard as Wilder and is much better boxer

I got on this site to chat w people who had fought or had brains about boxing- you have neither obviously . Teddy atlas has said wilder is the hardest hitter in history- and he’s seem Shavers, trained Tyson, etc. Even David Haye said his power was supernatural. Look up things or research before you comment. AJ is maybe a top ten heavyweight at best

[Tecnoworld]

AJ is maybe a top ten heavyweight at best

Agreed. He is good, not gteat, long way far from GOAT.

List of boxers from recent past (say last 30 years or so) who, IMHO, would have beaten AJ in their prime:
- Larry Holmes
- Mike Tyson
- Lennox Lewis
- Evander Holyfield
- Vitali K.
- Wladimir K.
- George Foreman
- Rid**** Bowe
- Tony Tucker

Also the following ones could've been very difficult foes for AJ:
- Corrie Sanders
- Lou Savarese
- Tommy Morrison

Today, apart from usyk, imo fury beats him 99 out of 100 and wilder is 50-50. A fit Ruiz can do that again and also Joyce can very well beat him. Perhaps also Michael Hunter. Among the prospects I see Yoka as a 60-40 for aj and ajagba and hrgovich as a 70-30 for aj.

Let’s say that’s true. And let’s say that in 30 years there have been around 200 who have been ranked in the top 10. You named 9-12 who could beat AJ, which still put him in the top 5%
