    Usyk will be at least 35 when the rematch takes place. At the same time he'll be even more comfortable at heavyweight.

      Make some $$ in a rematch loss and fade into obscurity.

        The only question was could Usyk handle the size. The answer was yes. So no real surprise he beat him with skills after that. Too good footwork, head movement, counter punching etc. Joshua I don't think can win.

          He's a flawed fighter. There are still guys that he can beat but he has no chance against Fury and Usyk imo
          He needs to take more risks and try to impose his will imo. Since getting dropped by Wlad he has been a much more hesitant fighter. If he takes the rematch, he needs to risk being knocked out and come to try and steamroll Usyk. Force him onto the ropes, rough him up inside and **** the body and throw his uppercuts. Yes he had the height and reach advantage here, but he wasn't the better boxer and was losing at mid range. He's always ducked down too much to give up his height, again he needs to axe McKracken. He either needs to become a Wlad-esque 1-2 and grab fighter or a mauling powerhouse, this "slick boxer" version won't take him any further

            He's was so open to the left hand and I don't think he has the chin to survive that approach.

            He'll get caught coming in.

            I think someone like Dillian Whyte has a better chance of beating Usyk tbh

              He needs to go high guard, block the punches on his gloves and force him to the ropes where he can work in close quarters and lean on him. If he is serious about being great, he needs to swallow his pride, kill the loyalty and go down to Mexico and work with Reynoso and Canelo. The Canelo school of defense is what he needs to adopt

                AJ was on a podcast during fight week, and he talked for over 30 minutes straight about his "high-level boxing IQ". He talked dismissively about how he could beat Usyk in a chess match. Deluded is an understatement. He needs to stick to what got him to the top in the first place.

                  His boxing IQ isn't bad and I'm sure in sparring he's able to get a read of fighters and adapt. Lets not forget he's beaten so very good fighters.

                  He's always going to struggle with a mover. He was never able to establish any kind of offence against Parker for example.
