Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua: First Time In My Career We're Working On Game Plan Ahead Of Usyk Rematch

[Good ol' Douglas]

Lennox Lewis has better endurance than Fury & Joshua.

His fight vs Ray Mercer was fought at a Higher pace than any of Fury's fights.

You are a Fury hardcore fan I get it.

Your altitude will change up, once Joshua beats Usyk.

That will be amusing.

Because Fury is a much better technician than Lewis and manages to dictate the rhythm and pace of a fight to suit his tactics.

Mercer arguably got robbed in that fight and he was not known for having good stamina either!

Usyk could very well lose. He is injury prone, turning 36 soon and will not be in peak physical and psychological condition for the fight. But I would not bet on it.

Lennox Lewis vs Ray Mercer in terms of intensity was fought a higher pace than all of Fury's fights. And that is not even Lewis's highest paced fight, it is just that particular fight was first on my list.

Tyson Fury does not throw his punches with better technique than Lennox Lewis.

I tell you what mate, go and make another thread and poll. And pose the question to the forum, who has the better fundamentals and technique between Lennox Lewis & Tyson Fury.

I can guarantee you, Lennox Lewis will win that poll. Lewis had a better jab, uppercut, right back hand, over hand right, combination punch ability and body punching ability.

Here we go with the ready made excuses regarding Joshua vs Uysk. Anthony Joshua is facing Usyk at his absolute peak. And if he beats Usyk it is the greatest heavyweight win of the past 20 years.

You ether think Usyk is going to win or you don't? Don't make sly excuses, to discredit a potential Anthony Joshua win.

Tyson Fury is retired, and his last fight was against somebody who Joshua ****** about many years ago.

Ward only got to P4P#1 literally after beating Kovalev the 2nd time. Then he retired! Mayweather didn't get it till he beat Pacquiao and even then Roman Gonzalez might have been at the top till he lost.

Crawford has not got it once. Nor Spence.
I don't rate the list as it can remove fighters completely from the list if they lose once (like when Rigo lost after moving up in weight, canelo too). You'd think they see beyond weight and acknowledge their all round skills etc.

So why give out about it? Because it's used as a barometer for who the best is. And they will probably kick Spence or Crawford off the top ten (whoever loses).

It's not a fair representation of real talent. There should be no heavyweights on it in my opinion.

Yeah sure buddy, no gameplan at all against Ruiz. AJ lying again. The gameplan for this rematch is probably the SAME as before, except DONT GET HIT, box like a ***** against a cruiserweight who lost to Dereck 'AlwaysbringstheWARandalwaysisentertainingandnever ducksnoone' Chisora and have Eddie cook up the scorecards.

He was also recently threatening a university student. Talking about running them out of the uni and breaking glass jaws. When did AJ ever break no jaws? Most of his wins are UK stoppages. Where was this energy when cruiserweight Usyk was sticking it on him, not even a bit of GULLY energy coming out? what a complete phony with no soul or substance whatsoever. Its all about the money and investments innit bruv, mixed in with some quotes from gangsters turned snitches that he idolizes. We know AJ would snitch at the drop of a hat too, so makes sense. Coward with no warrior spirit in him. This guy is the biggest joke in heavyweight boxing.

I got a bridge to sell for you AJ fans, its in brooklyn. Yall got no street smarts whatsoever, cant judge character.

Rob McCracken is a solid trainer, I think it is really weasel like the way people are blaming him.

Joshua lost to Ruiz Junior 1 and Uysk, because of himself.

At the end of the day, Joshua in my opinion? Mold's his own training.

It was Joshua's decision after Ruiz 1, to suddenly obsess over being all technical and dropping weight. Nobody else decision but his own.

I still think Joshua will win this rematch, his ability to obsess helps him during a long game. Joshua is speaking all technical here, but I am not expecting that kind of fight.

Well AJ's comments are pretty lame because he clearly fought Ruiz differently in the rematch so to say he never went into any fight ever in his life without a gameplan and blame his losses on his last trainer is weak as ***. Hes the only guy in the ring on his team and he was scare as hell of Usyk last time, its not his trainers fault he was scared of a cruiserweight that is a deep seated issue. I dont know that one fight with a new trainer can fix his internal emotional and confidence problems.


Also he is really setting himself up here for another ass kicking if he thinks its the trainers job to win him fights and that he only lost because of a bad trainer and winning the rematch is on the shoulders of the new trainer, like no dude that is your job to win the rematch and the trainer is only there to assist you in the plan.

I think Mayweather became pound for pound number 1, after beating Oscar De La Hoya.

I think it is about right that Usyk is ranked pound for pound number 1. There is no fighter in the lower weight divisions who? Have achieved a similar feat in Uysk beating Joshua.

Usyk was being out weighed by 20-25 pounds.

Alvarez vs Bivol is not comparable.

He lost the titles against Ruiz Jr., won them back, lost them to Usyk, had a rematch clause, so now he gets the chance to win them back. That's how boxing works. What's the problem?

azzholes like you are the problem. they paid off ruiz not to train. thats the problem. the steroid monster has held the title hostage for years

Fcking tinfoil hat weirdos all over this forum.

Wlad and Usyk, have sparred, while Wlad was champion, and it didn't go well for Wlad. He couldn't land a punch on Usyk and never had him back as a sparring partner again.

The big men like Wlad, Vitali, Lewis, never had to fight anybody remotely similar to Usyk. He's a one-off, like Ali was in the 60s, so who knows if that "big man" style would work against him in a fight? I have my doubts, tbh.

Not only that, but the people who keep saying "Joshua needs to come out seek and destroy mode, like Chisora did" have no idea that you can't just completely alter your ****ing style over night and be effective. Plus, Chisora won like 3 rounds in that fight and was stunned a number of times. I have no idea why people think that fight was close.

Sparring is sparring.

Anthony Joshua beat Tyson Fury up in sparring.

And Dillian Whyte decked him.

Usyk is not a complete fighter, and he is not a better fighter than Evander Holyfield. I don't think Lennox Lewis would be intimidated.

Usyk has zero inside game, so what is so unique about Usyk?

I think you need to calm down mate, Usyk is good in certain area's where these heavyweights lack these days.

I still don't rate Usyk as a better fighter than Holyfield or Haye at their peak.

I have never ever seen you rate Usyk so highly, what has brought all of this on? And is this altitude going to stay once Joshua beats him via stoppage?

I think the big man style would work against Uysk, because he has zero inside game. If you take away his jab, his long range dominance 'What is he going to do?'.

Uysk can fight at mid-range, but it he is no Mike Tyson in that department. Fighters like Lewis & Kiltschko would just tie him up and disrupt the action.

Jesus Christ, every time I think you have no idea what you're talking about, you make a post like this. So you think Usyk is just an outside fighter who is good in areas heavyweights lack? I really hope you've already been beaten to **** over this post.
