Comments Thread For: Fury: If Joshua Loses To Usyk, Which I Think He Will, Our Fight is Dead in The Water

[baroidi]

It’s nowhere near that simple.

Whenever AJ tried to become the aggressor Usyk stung him with the left hand. You’re underestimating how adaptable Usyk is too.

This isn’t a Ruiz type rematch were all AJ has to do is tweak a few things, he has to get the game-plan near perfect to beat Usyk IMO.

of course this isn't gonna be a Ruiz jr rematch repeat, Usyk is not gonna balloon into an immobile blob like Ruiz jr. Joshua didn't really win the rematch against Ruiz jr, it was more of Ruiz jr eating himself into a loss. Any decent HW could've beaten Ruiz jr that day. It was a false victory for Joshua, his team and his fans, because they actually thought the stiff robot became some pugilistic master, that's why they thought he could outbox Usyk.

One more loss and Joshua will retire. Made alot of money for being the #3 or #4 HW of his era.

AJ should actually fight whyte instead for that mandatory spot while fury faces Usyk. AJ had a chance to unify but he ducked instead to face fat baby. But but wilder said doe..look, wilder was already committed to the first fury fight when this bunk "offer" supposedly came up. "But wilder said doe" lol Joyce would get first crack at the unified champ n AJ can exercise the wbc mandatory. AJ lost the belts n decided not to unify when it was realistic. Accept it. He's a contender now. Build bk up

Nobody is going to beat Usyk. He'll retire undefeated.

And pumpkins are elephants

That is never going to happen. Tyson Fury is deluding himself into believing that AJ is going to step aside and allow him to fight Usyk. All fighter's have pride and Anthony Joshua is no different. He wouldn't so much as fancy the idea of stepping aside and allowing Tyson to face Oleksandr.

So, a guy like Usyk has a shot at beating Fury is your message?

You don't agree?. I personally think he could beat Fury. He would take some damage...but I'm sure he's aware and ok with that. I think he would be too slippery for Fury to pin him down and too small for Fury to maul/headlock him in the centre ring. Fury might clip him or **** him up...but he would need to do it with his fists...not the borderline dirty tactics he's been using recently. Usyk could no doubt set an uncomfortable pace as well.

It makes even less sense if hes coming off two losses though.

d just give AJ a tune up against a easier touch like Whyte. Have AJ go and knock Whyte out again in a fight that would sell well over here. Let Fury and Usyk unify and then hopefully all roads lead to Fury vs Joshua which I assume is the fight we all want.

If Fury beat Usyk and had all 4 belts, him and AJ wouldn't be able to agree on a split. Fury would rightfully expect 70% and Joshua wouldn't accept 30%. That's one reason why Joshua wants the rematch with Usyk, those belts give him leverage going forward.

That is illegible nonsense.

Joyce is a front runner in the press and comments only. I've no doubt he'll be a world champion one day but it will be a vacant one he wins. Far too big strong and durable to be handed a voluntary shot by a champion. Outrageous chin.

Why is it dead in the water? Its dead as far as an all British undisputed fight goes but styles make fights and I would still very much like to see it.
