Overall skill for skill, I personally think Anthony Joshua has been Oleksandr Uysk's toughest fight at Heavyweight.
Oleksandr Uysk landed 170 punches on Tyson Fury, to achieve such a feat he had to throw 407 punches. OIeksandr Uysk in his second fight vs Anthony Joshua also landed 170 punches, but to land that amount of punches Uysk was forced to throw 712 punches 'Oleksandr Uysk had to throw over 300 punches more to land on Anthony Joshua'.
Joshua by the way also out worked Uysk in their first fight, and Oleksandr Uysk was only able to land 148 punches on Anthony Joshua.
I don't think Oleksandr Uysk's performance vs Tyson Fury was his best ever 'I honestly believe that he was in better condition vs Anthony Joshua twice over. Uysk found a way to win vs Fury, but for me ? Skill or skill I think he could of fought a better fight'.
Since Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Uysk, I have been adamant that both Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua can beat Oleksandr Uysk 'But stylistically Joshua actually in my opinion would be more likely to achieve such a feat as of right now'.
Oleksandr Uysk is a great fighter, he is the most accomplished active fighter in the entire sport 'And pound for pound he has achieved the most impressive individual feats of achievement'.
But stylistically Oleksandr Uysk can be beaten, from top to bottom as a fighter 'Uysk is not a formidable threat in the Heavyweight Division. That is what makes his individual achievements really impressive to me, as I have stated in my previous posts? Oleksandr Uysk almost every single time he fights at top level Heavyweight, he has to fight them in a very difficult way. Because Uysk's best attributes at Heavyweight only really allow him to win fights in this manner'.
Both Anthony Joshua, and Tyson Fury are stylistically different type of fighters and threats at Heavyweight for their competitors 'Especially if a fighter like Uysk is embroiled in rematches and trilogies with them'.
Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk II, Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Uysk III 'Those are both close fights to call, they are live fights' etc.
Anthony Joshua is stylistically the most difficult fight for most top level Heavyweights in the game 'If the business opportunity was the same for all top level Heavyweight fights. And the top level Heavyweight fighters where all posed the question, which fighters do you want to fight? I don't believe that there would be many fighters raising their arm up to fight Anthony Joshua'.
When we talk about Anthony Joshua, what we are referring to is a double jeopardy threat 'Joshua is the most proven and component pure boxer skill for skill, outside of both Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Uysk. But since the Fury vs Uysk fight, there is a definitive debate now? That Anthony Joshua skill for skill is the second best most proven Heavyweight fighter in the division'.
Not only that? Joshua is also one of the most devastating offensive power punchers in the Heavyweight Division 'For sure at the least he is ranked in the Top-3 most dangerous offensive power punchers at Heavyweight'.
When we look at the Heavyweight Division, there is no other Heavyweight active 'With that type of proven double jeopardy threat. Anthony Joshua is the only Heavyweight fighter bringing that type of threat game'.
People right now in the boxing game are ether being nice to Joshua, or they don't want to talk about him 'Because they all know, if Joshua fully utilizes all of his power. Then it is potentially over'.
It is over for whoever he fights, Tyson Fury, Oleksandr Uysk, Daniel Dubois, Zhilei Zhang, Joseph Parker 'It will be over for all of them' etc.
