'I think Joshua CAN lose this fight'

I agree 100% with you Breadman , Joshua needs to fight like a killer every time. He's got the physical tools he needs the self confidence to go with them though and therein lies the rub. It's almost criminal to see a guy like him fight tentative and scared. With his size and power he should be steamrolling guys.

"Floyd Mayweather is the Jay-Z of Boxing." I like it! Like Jay-Z said, "I'm not a businessman, I'm a business...man!" Facts! Floyd did something LeBron can never do, because LeBron is an employee of the Los Angeles Lakers, but he doesn't own the Lakers. Closest thing to Floyd is Canelo. Closest thing to Jay-Z is 50 Cents!

In my heart, I know Bud is just as good as Floyd and Manny, but his resume is lacking in comparison. In my heart, I fear I'll be saying the same thing about Boots! Undefeated is not enough!

Wow! I'm normally respectful of Edwards opinions - but I can't get my head around Usyk beig a top ten HW ever. There is no context to that - as this era plays out the context becomes clearer - ie. as in where the HWs of this era might have fit into other eras. I suppose Usyks best two scalps at HW are Fury and Joshua - but we saw Fury struggle mightily with Ngannou. We've just seen Joshua struggle to cut off the ring with Jake Paul.
For context - George Foreman has NO TROUBLE cutting off the ring with Ali. (yeah, I know, rope-a-dope and all that) - so how long would Paul have lasted with Foreman of 72-74? Foreman would have obliterated Joshua and Fury.
Sonny Liston would have obliterated Dubois - this is just a weak a55 era.
Usyk loses clearly to prime Mike Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis, Bowe, Ali, Liston, Foreman, Frasier and the list goes on.
I'll say he's a top 25 HW - and if I scratch hard I might find him in serious head to head struggles with fighters from 15-25 ish.

Old Chisora was a handful for Cossack Oleksandr

I'd pick the other two great swarming heavyweights Jack and ROCKY over the Cossack too

Bomber Joe's right cross of god would crack the Cossack
