Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua Wants To Bash Usyk Up, He's Angry - Which is Good!

[Jkp]

I know you like having a bit of a laugh re:Joshua, which is cool. But tbf, the only version of Joshua that can’t beat the best possible version of Ruiz is the one that needs reminding that he’s 6’6” and can jab him while sat on his couch.

AJ will lose to top 10 boxers, even when he has massive reach and height advantages. He simply isn't good enough. That's been proven. That's why he been fighting 40 year old has beens most of his career

That’s just it, though, isn’t it? Those 40 year olds WERE top 10s. Those two groups you’ve mentioned are more or less interchangeable.

Unfortunate state of boxing re: lack of grassroots talent dictating the transformation of team sportspeople into boxers, creating a shortfall of class as a result, and promoter politics keeping their OAP clients in title contention till their end of their careers.

You are nothing but a no good, ugly smelly louse stuck to AJ's pubic hair.

If Joshua fights Usyk reckless then Usyk will be lighting Joshua ass up big time.

Another hype job by Fast Eddie. He realizes only a few fans think Joshua can outbox Usyk. Joshua sounds desperate and even he doesn't believe he can outbox Usyk so now it is just a punchers chance and how well Usyk can take a punch.

It was indeed conventional wisdom and yes, Usyk did look ropey, but I wasn’t one of those fans employing either that wisdom or allowing those performances to affect my opinion. Firstly, Usyk beat Witherspoon and Chisora in 2nd/3rd gear, in my eyes, and both were still clear.

On a separate forum before their fight, (BBC sport for those who care) I said Usyk would dominate Joshua but he’d lose it on the cards. That the judges didn’t rob him was the only surprise for me.


What’s more, I’m on record on this site saying Usyk was clearing this division. That’s a a contribution from 2-3 years ago. Ofc, it aroused scepticism, and still does, but I had him pegged as better than all of this lot; I doubt I’d make so confident a prediction if we were right in the middle of the 90s…


I've rambled a bit, here, but as far as I'm concerned, anyone with boxing knowledge should have had Usyk favourite going into that fight. I'm just a twat from England with a braincell deficiency and even I had him as favourite.

If you made that assessment prior to the fight and years ago, kudos. You're not suffering braincell deficiency, I wouldn't say. Took some insight to make your call. We had David Haye and some others emphatically writing Usyk off, as a fly to be swat on the window pane.
