      Some of the fighters Mayweather has beaten, are also better than Usyk skill for skill.

      Oscar De La Hoya, Shane Mosley, Miguel Cotto, I honestly think these fighters skill for skill are better than Usyk.

      Usyk cannot fight on the inside, seems to struggle to also throw hooks or shorten his punches. He is predominately a distance - mid range fighter.

      The stereotype that all eastern European fighters are technical geniuses, is something that Usyk benefits from within the media. Usyk is a solid fighter, and there is no denying his achievements, but when you break him down and analyse his attributes individually 'Honest people will understand that he is not doing anything, we have never seen before'.

      Joshua really as a big super heavyweight, should of just stuck his jab out 'Done some work at mid-range and then tied Usyk on the inside' Over and over again, that is what Lennox Lewis would of done, and so would of Wladimir Kiltschko'.

      It was Joshua's inability to fight like a good big man, which lost him the fight. Joshua's jab is way below bar, and he also has limited inside fighting capabilities 'He completely void of in fighting skills such as? Rough housing and being able to grapple and tie a fighter up'.

      But in saying all of that, I still think Joshua will win the rematch. Joshua's mid-range fight capabilities are better than Usyk's, and his jab be improved 'He is ether hit or miss with his jab'.

          Probably usyk wins. Floyd s calibre of bigger opponents he beat a bit suspect. Past prime DLH win was a bit too unconvincing, id like to have seen Floyd beat dlh like Pac did. And the nel o win was CW and green.

            The De La Hoya who faced Mayweather was in miles better condition than the De La Hoya who Pacquiao beat.

            Floyd Mayweather beat Oscar De La Hoya, at 154 pounds 'He was less weight drained and optimally prepared'.

            Mayweather overall skill for skill has beaten better fighters than Usyk. Is there a heavyweight version of Miguel Cotto, Shane Mosley, Oscar De La Hoya or Canelo Alvarez? No.

            When James Toney moved up to heavyweight, he continually reminded people that he had faced and beaten better fighters 'Than all of the heavyweights' That is why even out of condition, Toney was able to compete.

            Is there anybody like Tony Bellew on Mayweather's record? Just face the facts, sometimes the higher up in weight you go 'The less skilled and intricate fighters become, especially these days in the era of super-heavyweights'.
