    Sometimes looking at a situation from he outside, as most fans do 'This simplifies the task at hand'.

    But when you are ether the fighter or promoter, and looking at it from their perception, this can over complicate the task.

    I personally don't think Joshua needs to solve the enigma code to beat Usyk, and I don't think he needs to evolve into a different fighter. I believe we have already witnessed a version of Joshua, who can beat Usyk 'And that is the original Joshua, before he started to over-complicate things and repress his innate abilities'.

    Combination punching, solid jab, determination, physical presence. These are the attributes and skills, that won Joshua Olympic Gold and got him up off the deck to then knock out Wladimir Kiltschko 'In the greatest heavyweight fight of the past 20 years'.

    Usyk is a good solid fighter, but I honestly think people are getting carried away with his abilities.
    The thing is, I don’t think people are getting carried away. Uruk’s unbeaten in about 200 fights in which time he’s fought better boxers than Joshua.

    I agree that the ‘original Joshua’ can beat 98% of this current HW division, but I just reckon his lack of amateur career shows, meaning his attributes won’t be at a high enough level to bridge the gap.

    Genuinely don’t think there’s anything even the pre-wlad Joshua can offer that the other man hasn’t already seen.

      If Usyk was as light years apart as hes supposed is be he wouldn't have looked like he got hit in the face with a baseball bat after the Joshua fight.

      Obviously Usyk's amateur pedigree is far superior which is exactly why Joshua should never have been involved in a chess match with the guy in the first place, oh but he wants to "show he can box", this isn't the guy to do that against you donut.

      Joshua is his own worst enemy these days, I've told him exactly what he needs to do to win so its up to him now if he wants to box like a moron again he will get filled in and that will be that.

        You have told him, and I don’t know why this MF ain’t listening!!

        In all seriousness, I’m not saying he’s light years ahead of everyone, I’m just saying he’s better, and plus, this is HW boxing.

        You are gonna come out of fights with your face marked up, especially if you’ve been at LHW & CW all your adult life. I don’t see a pretty boy Floyd around anywhere. Even though Broner, down at WW keeps trying (and failing) to do a good impression
