Bakole just destroyed a faster, younger, and stronger version of Usyk

      I would say he does boxing different.

      Better I'd say.

        Here we go with the hot takes after dominant win. After Joyce wrecked Parker, people were talking about how Joe would walk through the likes of Usyk, AJ and Fury.

        Then, Zhang happened (twice). Next up Zhang was going to smash all of these top guys and then Parker happened.

        Hrgovic and Sanchez were the boogeymen for a while until Kebayel wrecked them.

        Bakole is a tough out for alot of fighters but he can be beat. Hunter was able to use angles and slick boxing against him prior to the injury that gave him the TKO. Kebayel is another rough night for most fighters but he's not invincible either.

          Yeah I can imagine Usyk would also go life and death with a faded Charles Martin and get rocked several times

            Yeah I get this.

            He does show some head movement and defensive nuance at times but it is not amazing if the Sheikh takes a liking to him and that's a fight that gets offered to AJ. AJ is going into that fight pretty certain he's going to be able to land his best shot right on Martin's chin. Probably more than once.

            Of course Martin could chin AJ too but that's the game. I'm sure AJ's biggest concern is whether he can take a man out at this stage of his career. Especially after we've seen him have kittens over 24 rounds with Usyk

              I also forgot that alot of people thought Ngannou was the next hot thing after he dropped and lost a close decision to Fury. Some felt Ngannou was going to spark out AJ no problem until AJ detonated his fists on Francis' chin early.

              Usyk is beatable, we've seen him hurt and tested in fights and he's the best of the HWs right now. Put him in against any of these guys and (I'm my opinion) he likely beats them but it's not a guarantee.
