Comments Thread For: Vitali Klitschko: If Joshua Side-Stepped Usyk Rematch, It Would Show Weakness

[turnedup]

Yes we keep hearing this but I really want to see it, Usyk is not an immortal cyborg, Joshua has been mentally out of sorts for years now and I don't expect him to be able to correct that but if he does he will be a far more difficult proposition in the rematch.

Usyk looked like he had been hit in the face with a baseball bat last time and Joshua didn't even land anything with more than about 55% leverage on it, if he catches Usyk with even an 80% leverage right hand you will see just how mortal he is.

Let's have the rematch, hopefully Joshua will see it as a last roll of the dice with nothing to lose and come out and have a proper go, and the chips will fall as they may.

If “if” was a fifth we’d all get hammered. You act like usyk himself isn’t the reason Joshua couldn’t land it or as you mentioned the fact usyk had to get hit to be in striking distance as the shorter and wingspan restricted of the two and Joshua couldn’t land it with the guy in his wheelhouse the whole night.

How did Vitali look after quitting against Byrd & letting his brother take care of him instead? He never did try to set the record straight with Byrd. I never could understand how he got into the hall of fame… Still must salute him for his after boxing life…

Well, everybody knows Joshua is weak minded at this point, so nobody should act surprised if he shows ¨weakness¨

¨The Klitschko days are long gone, but Usyk has now brought back the unified crown to Ukraine.¨

Yeah, they better enjoy the hw crown while they can, because soon the country will be taken over by Russia again

Vitali, Usyk, Loma, Beterbiev, Kovalev and Bivol will all belong to the same country ruled by emperor *****

Nah, it's the losing that shows weakness. When's last time Joshua looked good against a live opponent?

26	Loss	24–2	Oleksandr Usyk	UD	12	25 Sep 2021	Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, England	Lost to a CW
25	Win	24–1	Kubrat Pulev	KO	9 (12), 2:58	12 Dec 2020	The SSE Arena, London, England	Old, it's not 2014
24	Win	23–1	Andy Ruiz Jr.	UD	12	7 Dec 2019	Diriyah Arena, Diriyah, Saudi Arabia	Ran from a fat kid
23	Loss	22–1	Andy Ruiz Jr.	TKO	7 (12), 1:33	1 Jun 2019	Madison Square Garden, New York City, New York, US	Lost to a fat kid on short notice
22	Win	22–0	Alexander Povetkin	TKO	7 (12), 1:59	22 Sep 2018	Wembley Stadium, London, England	Old, it's not 2012
21	Win	21–0	Joseph Parker	UD	12	31 Mar 2018	Principality Stadium, Cardiff, Wales	They called him champion at least.
20	Win	20–0	Carlos Takam	TKO	10 (12), 1:34	28 Oct 2017	Principality Stadium, Cardiff, Wales	This guy might become a Bridgerweight champion, maybe.
19	Win	19–0	Wladimir Klitschko	TKO	11 (12), 2:25	29 Apr 2017	Wembley Stadium, London, England	Last good fight but that's only because Wlad's an ATG. Still a Fury leftover and an old man.
18	Win	18–0	Éric Molina	TKO	3 (12), 2:02	10 Dec 2016	Manchester Arena, Manchester, England	Wilder leftovers no one ever bragged about
17	Win	17–0	Dominic Breazeale	TKO	7 (12), 1:01	25 Jun 2016	The O2 Arena, London, England	Sure, I'll count 2016 Dom....sure
16	Win	16–0	Charles Martin	KO	2 (12), 1:32	9 Apr 2016	The O2 Arena, London, England	Just got KO'd by Ortiz fool
15	Win	15–0	Dillian Whyte	TKO	7 (12), 1:27	12 Dec 2015	The O2 Arena, London, England	There you go, Whyte before his wins. Not bad.

The rest is better not mentioned really.

It's not 2018 anymore. Dude looks week because he is. He's struggling with and losing to guys who are not even considered the best of the division or year. When Wilder was important he lost to Andy. When Fury's important he loses to Usyk. Winning it back only takes off some shame....the weakness will always be there.

[RobT]

Personally, I'd like Wilder vs AJ for the sheer crazy fun of it, and Fury vs Usyk for all the belts

Well I agree with you on one thing: it’s all well arseholes like me saying Usyk’s got it in the bag, but the fight’s actually gotta happen. Till then, it’s all smoke.

It’ll be even better than last time, of that I’m sure

That Russia thing will fizzle out like Prince Naseem Hamed’s new year’s resolutions

[club fighter]

So says the guy that couldn't continue against feather fisted Chris Byrd.
That shoulder booboo was a sign of weakness.

[deathofaclown]

Says the man who literally asked his corner to pull him out v Byrd because his shoulder was hurting. He can’t talk about weakness to anybody.

He had a torn rotator cuff

that's a potential career ending injury right there

nor to mention probably more painful than passing a kidney stone while giving birth

It's not like Vitali pulled out of the fight because a fat man floored him and was embarrassing him, like a certain someone did
