Would it be possible for BOTH of them to lose, and retire?????
Asking for the rest of the HW division.

“I don't think AJ's on the slide.” Ok bro. Be nice for once if we can get some honesty.

Josh is wrong this fight is all about who has slide more than the other.

Whyte has lost and looked crap when losing. AJ last loss in Usyk 2 - to my eyes he boxed better than he ever has before - it still wasn't enough against a master boxer.

Lol Usyk isn't a master boxer. A master boxer doesn't land 20-25 percent of his punches in a 12 round fight against a stationary target like Anthony Joshua. Do you think Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield, Mike Tyson, Larry Holmes, George Foreman ect would of only landed that percentage of punches in a 12 round fight? Well Joshua would of never made it 12 rounds with any of these guys.

All that headbutting makes josh sound confused.

I won't be. I expect Joshua to mop the floor with Whyte.

I agree Whyte looked awful when losing to Fury and barely beating Franklin, I also agree Joshua boxed better in the second Usyk fight .The truth is I'm still to be convinced that Uysk is the 'man' at heavyweight as he has only beaten , Chisora , and an out of shape Chad Witherspoon and of course Joshua . So was Joshua's good showing that good? Joshua in my opinion would have easily of dealt with Franklin at his best .All's I Said is this fight is more about which one has slid back the most .

Usyk - Joshua 1 - Usyk landed 28%of his punches.
Usyk - Joshua 2 - Usyk landed 22%

First fight - Usyk landed an AVERAGE of 8 power punches EVERY round during a 12 round fight. His total punch output was 28%

Don't think we saw the same fight. Joshua is not stationary until pressed backwards which like most front foot boxers he doesn't like. Even when he is under severe pressure he is still elusive (see final round of AJ-Usyk 1 )

But when he is attacking or both are in middle of ring he is leaping backwards. For Usyk, this is a problem as he is at a severe reach disadvantage. He has to work his way inside. Not easy but he is a master at doing so and not getting wiped out.

As for your greats of yesteryear - I've always maintained that no current HW fighter could have lived with Lewis or Holmes or much less Ali or even Mike Tyson
