Comments Thread For: Fury Promoter: Joshua Shouldn't Go Anywhere Near Usyk - He Will Never Beat Him

[VislorTurlough]

British big mouths suggesting Joshua would be better in a rematch are on some good hallucinogenics. It’s Usyk, the better fighter with an infinitely better ring IQ and corner that will be improved next time. After 12 rounds sizing up his limited opponent. Usyk wins by merciless KTFO if they do rematch next. One more humiliating defeat will put the Joshua “legacy” on par with someone like Mike Weaver or Gerrie Coetzee

Matchroom paid interns are back! Wilder duck! Fury coward! Arum old fool! Haymon criminal! Everything but criticism of Joshua or Eddie. Again - not boxing fans but spin doctors and paid BS spreaders

Yep, looks like most have survived their deep depressive state over their idol losing

That's what cherry picker Fury would do. Joshua though will fight the tough fights.

So Fury was cherry picking the tough fighting Joshua?

These guys thinking Fury would beat usyk are actually funny when Fury has struggled every time he fought an average boxer with quick feet. And he got his eye smashed up by an average Southpaw. Since yesterday, IFL TV and muppets like Josh Taylor and the rest who don't like AJ have been the loudest about him not taking the rematch. How about worry about Fury and his next fight?

And it tells you what I've been saying all along - they all think AJ will beat Fury. Why do you want Usyk who isn't a draw when you can pick on AJ and also make 5 times the money you will make against Usyk? You don't need to be a rocket scientist to know why.

You seem upset that Joshua is being seen as damaged goods.

Did Fury fight Joshua? Nope. He cherry picked Shwarz and Wallin though, he could have fought top 10 opponents but chose not to.

I don't think it's fair to say that 'AJ could never beat Usyk'. I knew that he wouldn't today barring a freak landed shot but with the size advantage that he has and that kind of power, you can never rule him out. Trying to out-box Usyk was a mistake, obviously. Nobody @ HW aside from Fury is close to that pure boxing level.

Ortiz Usyk would be a good fight

[Ropeydope]

Everyone is talking like AJ “chose” to box in the center of the ring and to not use his jab. You all missed the masterful work done by Usyk. He kept him turning, following him around, and every time he even feinted a jab he got his head snapped back by straight lefts. His jab is not fast enough to land on Usyk, so he couldn’t setup the right. His only success was body work in the 8th, and a few isolated right hand leads when he caught Usyk turning away to the left. Usyk took away his weapons and he failed to adjust. He was dumb struck.

Going to be TOUGHER in the rematch!

This is not some Ruiz situation in which everything was just NEW to Ruiz...Usyk been a Winner and the very best in his Division on every Level he has fought on so yeah you're dealing with a guy who is extremely Disciplined and Highly Skilled. He has to KO Usyk or else he gets taking to school and given a boxing less yet again

Going to be very tough, Should 100% Target the Body but that is hard to do when you don't move your head and Usyk has a very quick and sneaky straight left that ruined your eye in the 1st fight

Humble Yourselves AJ Fanboys, your guy is just not that good honestly. You guys overrate him off of EMOTIONS but you see the Flaws we all see the guy is very STIFF, not a Fluid Athlete at all, doesn't move his head well never adjusted and took away Usyk left. I think Usyk purposely took middle Rounds off so that he could Finish Strong which is exactly what he did.

I don't know about the rest of y'all, but I'd LOVE to see an Usyk vs Ruiz fight. Both are smaller heavyweights with fast hand speed. Southpaw vs Orthodox. Could be an extremely entertaining bout.

Perhaps you were living under a rock, but Fury and AJ were set to fight in July before Wilder took them to court. Did you not know that?
Would you call that cherry picking?
He fought Wilder who was a belt holder and undefeated, would you call that cherry picking?
