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

Usyk 100%

Ig I'm being serious Joshua has maybe a 20% chance to win, it can happen but its not likely

So why would Joshua get no credit for beating someone who is potentially a "top 5 ATG" (your words)?

And why is "a blown up middleweight who struggled with Chisora and had PTSD" (your words) potentially a "top 5 ATG" (your words).

Makes no sense.

If Joshua beats Usyk he deserves huge credit.

Full credit but full credit only puts them at 1-1.

I don't usually agree when people say it's 1-1. When the champ goes in with the belt and comes out with the belt that's usually enough for me. E.G. Ruiz - Joshua proved himself the better fighter and avenged the earlier upset. There's no call for a rematch there.

But if AJ wins then this is a fight where we should absolutely see a trilogy. Usyk is at that level and the first fight wasn't any kind of upset or fluke. Whether it's immediate or not probably comes down to the WBC and Mr Fury.
