Comments Thread For: Khan on Usyk: He's in Great Shape, He's A lot Bigger, A lot Thicker - Still Very Quick

[Superbee]

So Usyk will weigh 255 pounds by saying that he gained 33 pounds since the last fight ?

Was it what he gained between the fights or what he weighs now ? I don't see him @ 250+ for the fight ... 225-230 maybe ?

I doubt Usyk will be much bigger. These sort of reports always come out leading up to fights.

Maybe he will come in a tad bigger, but so will Joshua.

I think Joshua will land between 242-244 pounds.

Take the 12 th round out of the fight. Joshua was the fighter who inflicted the most damage, and who's semi-aggressive attacks were shaking Usyk.

I watched the fight back last week. Good fight, Usyk's performance was a tad overrated.

Usyk won the fight from rounds 9-12, up until that point it was pretty much level. Usyk clearly the better boxer, but surprising Joshua hung in their with those tactics.

The 12 th round is a bit overrated as well, Joshua's fatigue made it seem more dramatic. Even still he invaded most of Usyk's attacks.

I am still backing Joshua to win. Maybe even over the distance. Ether which way, he is going to win.

This is a joke right? you aren’t being serious. Are you sure you watched AJ/Usyk? Joshua was punching thin air and his own performance is overrated. It was meek and pathetic. He didn’t look like he wanted to win whatsoever. Too happy to to survive. I look forward to looking out for you one week tomorrow. Don’t disappear buddy.

If we are being serious here for a minute....

Usyk gradually gained weight after he moved up to heavyweight, fight by fight, a few lbs here, a few lbs there. It seemed like a pretty natural progression for a guy who was making 200 pretty easily at cw

221 vs Joshua 1 to me seemed like a pretty natural weight for the guy when in peak shape, 21 lbs North of what he weighed in (fairly comfortably at cw)

He clearly lost a lot of size with the war situation, when he was IN Instagram for example he was looking quite gaunt, and I wouldny have been shocked if his weight was below 200lbs at that point.

Now its likely that he would rehydrate, get back on a good diet and regain most of that size in a standard training camp, yes, however him being BIGGER than before is a major red flag, especially as, remember, this is boxing training NOT bodybuilding or mass gaining. In fact boxing training normally you LOSE weight.

In my opinion Usyk is absoloutley not natural at this stage, just think logically about it. It wouldn't make any sense. To me it's obvious he's hopped on something to get back into shape quickly for the rematch and it's worked, really ****ing well.

I'm expecting a brutal ko of Joshua.

Perhaps something has been lost in translation somewhere along the way, and obv it’s tough to get confirmation of his weight in Feb/Mar, but yeah, sounds weird

[thack]

He will never be as 'thick' as Khan!

Deep down, you know you are talking nonsense.

You dislike Joshua. He is still here, and he is one fight away from capturing the greatest Heavyweight win of the past 20 years.

Joshua is not the most innately talented fighter, but you have to admit? He is maximizing his talents, the same way Chisora has etc.

Wladimir Kilschko was in better condition for Joshua, than Fury. He had endured three back to back training camps, and had venom within him.

Plus? I don't think he had the issue's outside the ring, he had against Tyson Fury. Issue's nobody wants to talk about, admittedly because Kiltschko did not make excuses. But it was a known fact that his woman was unwell, and their relationship strained at that stage.

Lol.. "greatest heavy weight win"...

Get a grip, usyk isn't even a true heavy weight.

Lol.. "greatest heavy weight win"...

Get a grip, usyk isn't even a true heavy weight.

Yet he is taller and heavier than Mike Tyson was when he a heavyweight champion. Wasn't Mike Tyson a true heavyweight? Some of you guys are desperately trying too hard to discredit AJ but you only make a fool of yourselves.

Usyk is 221 pounds in his last fight, that is a Heavyweight.

Look at this people, just look at this.

Everyone is already discrediting Anthony Joshua.

What is wrong people, afraid he will win?

I predicted that the closer the fight gets the more shook Joshua's critics will become.

It will be the greatest Heavyweight win of the past 20 years. Watch how people within the boxing world react if Joshua wins, this will only support what I say etc.

It has gone from, Usyk is unbeatable, Joshua does not stand a chance, Usyk can beat Tyson Fury.

Then as the fight draws closer, people start getting shook. They see that Joshua is not afraid, not scared of Uysk, not to the degree people have been for months trying to make out.

And as the fight draws closer, Joshua's critics start getting shook, they are completely and utterly spooked.

So they start to discredit a potential Anthony Joshua win, to protect themselves, but back track on their absolute certainty that Joshua cannot win.

They are all spooked mate.

Who is going to win this rematch, you have said nothing.

Tell me with conviction who will win this rematch.

I am telling you that Anthony Joshua, is going to win this rematch.

Do the Polish hate Russia because of Katyn Massacre or is it more than that?

Much more, like waiting within view for the Germans to obliterate Warsaw during the 1944 uprising before stepping in to rout them
