Comments Thread For: Haye: If Joshua Can Implement His Physical Attributes, He Can Win Usyk Rematch

Man oh man, Joshua losing throws the U.K. boxing scene into real depression. It’s not like the U.K. doesn’t have an undefeated undisputed champion who cleaned out his division in Josh Taylor…..

Haye is always wrong with his predictions

[landotter]

AJ fell in love with becoming an insecure long-range boxer. He changed his style and has looked shaky since the Povetkin fight. It reminds me of Miguel Cotto; like him, he tried fighting in a cute long-range style instead of the boxer-puncher style that accentuates his strengths and gives him the best chance to defeat elite level opposition.

During Cotto’s Welterweight run, he could be winning a fight then resort to getting “on his bike” and lose rounds because of the constant retreating (even though he was still good at it and would destroy the vast majority of fighters (see Alfonso Gomez)). He had a career renaissance at 154-160 because he found a trainer to instill confidence in him and help him revert back into the style that best suited with slight defensive tweaks.

Of course, the fighter might still lose against certain opponents, but it gives them the best chance at winning. Usyk is a great fighter, but he’s not a fighter Joshua couldn’t beat if he comes correct. Joshua needs to realize what’s best for his legacy and career and make it happen.

This is the most level headed way of saying what everyone - including me- have been trying to get out. Joshua has forgotten what made him such a big star to begin with. He worked to KO people, beat them to submission with his size. He has gotten away from that.

If he does not go back to it, Usyk wins. Period.

I'm sure Aj had a plan/plans going in to the fight but then he almost immediately took a straight left down the pipe & all those plans went out the window.

first f**kin punch of the fight! bam! right in the mouth!!! the first punch of the fight made me sit up straight.

IF.
IF my Aunt had balls, she'd be my Uncle.
IF Joshua had balls he'd be the champ.

Hahahaha

What about, " if Joshua had a chin . . ."

Haye is right. If Joshua uses his physical advantages he can win. If he doesn't, it will be the same again. I don't see what's wrong with this?

"IF AJ implements his physical attributes", if Joshua did that he wouldn't be Joshua.
Usyk"s got AJ's numder and probably KO's him in a rematch.

Point taken, but I think Usyk will be better and more confident, just my view, Usyk is in a different class

The question you have to ask is what stopped AJ from using those physical attributes on Saturday night?
Do you think he went into the fight thinking,"I'm the younger, taller, heavier guy but I'm not gonna use any of that to win this fight".
