    If AJ beats Usyk will the win ring hollow given the circumstances?

    Usyk will have just come back from a literal war zone while AJ was probably chilling at the gym taking Instagram pics. Will the public not hold that against him?

    I expect Usyk to win anyway, but no.

    If Usyk is so distracted by the war that he can't perform he shouldn't step into the ring. You don't play boxing and you don't step in there if you don't have your head on straight. When you step between those ropes you leave your excuses on the outside and live with the results forever.

    So if Joshua beats him, full credit. He won't, but if he does, absolutely he deserves the accolades.

      Nooooo way. Full credit if he does win unless it’s a robbery. Joshua is the one who needs to get his mind straight to win this one even if he’s chillin right now.

        Oh 100%, if AJ wins all he did was beat a blown up middleweight who struggled with Chisora and had PTSD

        Big whoop.

        If Usyk wins he's top 5 ATG

          Nah

          No excuses. If Usyk isn’t right to fight then he shouldn’t. I don’t think anybody is forcing him into it and I’m sure he could prolong it if he wanted.

            Usyk will not defile himself with excuses should he lose.
            If his mind was esle where, he also wouldn't screw his fans over with being less than 100% prepared.

            The better man will win the fight.

              So who is the better fighter? Who do you think wins?

                  Show me one AJ fight with rigged cards like Canelo's whole career. His fights in general are judged fairly. If he wins, he put in the work. The only people who will be crying are the extreme Central Asian and Eastern European American fanboys who call all of these guys the greatest ever when they hear the last names. The happiest man on earth will be Fury b.c that 2-fight 200-million deal will be back on the table and he'll be running around saying the retirement thing was just a joke.

                    Your being harsh. Josh lost worse to ruiz and overturned it so I think Josh can win.But
                    ​Id give Josh credit for win as he is being written off
