    Providing AJ beats Usyk in the rematch then we may get Fury and AJ even though it's a tough fight for AJ against Usyk he may well can win. If not we could get Fury and Usyk for undisputed in a fight with 2 undefeated heavyweights. When is the last time that happened?

      I believe that is AJ's only chance. Go for the kill right outta the gate and like you said after 6 if Usyk is still standing then AJ doesnt have much of a shot at pulling it of and likely gets stopped late from exhaustion

        LOL, punch himself out in the first 6 rounds vs rip to Usyk's body for the 1st 6 rounds and take his wheels away. I like your strategy better. What's your relationship with Usyk? I've seen AJ go 12 rounds with Parker and on the back foot vs Ruiz which takes a lot of energy and he was well at the end of those fights. Usyk ain't superman. Then again, he has an Eastern Euro/Central Asian name so those guys are from another universe.

              Because it’s not. Writers like Chris Mannix are trying to spin it like this is a death sentence if he doesn’t avenge this loss - it isn’t.

              Joshua is a massive star and there are countless massive fights for him - Dubois, Whyte rematch, Fury, Joyce, even Wilder - if he doesn’t become Champion again.

              Chisora is still a massive draw in the UK - Joshua will be selling tickets for another decade… win, lose or draw.

                  The narrative around that fight from AJ was being trim, fit and fighting 12 rounds.

                  He was still gassed after 10. His stamina has always been an issue. He's super fit but for whatever reason the tank always empties even in fights where he is having it all his own way. Maybe he's just too stiff in there maybe he can never breathe right, maybe he's too muscular. Maybe he puts to much into every shot.

                  That fight really did look like paralysis by analysis albeit I think rounds 5 and 6 I think it was AJ did win them clearly from what I remember because he landed solidly and Usyk tucked up and his output dropped. So it isnt like he was without success.

                  So he does need to land the big shots to win but equally he needs to give himself the most time to be able to do it. He's not gonna go balls to the wall to be knocked out by a sharp Usyk in under 6.

                  Ultimately Usyk is that good that he could beat him anyway but AJ probably has to reconcile that even if he wins he's gonna get hurt.

                    So which is it mate, is he a good fighter or not? So Uysk must have a great win on his record at heavyweight.


                    It is the greatest win in 20 years because Ruiz had not shown to be that good until that fight. It was a trememdous comeback where very few people would have bet on Ruiz to do what he did after he was knocked down. That doesn't make Joshua great in the Ruiz fight, or even if he beats Usyk. There are no great champions in the current era. Great champions clean up the division and leave no doubt.

                      - - AJ sent the Flubber of Fury Flying for his storied dalliance wif Deyonce, two low hanging overripe fruitcakes destined for fruitcake luvvers of blubber and peanut whine.

                      Fat Andy the only heavy in an International Cast of Contenders will to step into the breech of AJ American debut. Fat Andy has the best single win of every heavyweight of his era.
