Comments Thread For: Usyk: One Reason We Agreed To Face Bellew - Is To Get Joshua!

I don't see how Usyk won't do well against Joshua.
usyk will weigh more than Povetkin did 225+ pounds, he's a big CW lets not forget. He also has a clear advantage in foot speed and foot work, and is much faster than AJ..... he can easily take Joshua deep and his superior stamina will see him take over.

TBH I think Usyk's best test would be to fight Joe Joyce at HW. He completely outclassed the big man over a shorter format in the amateurs, but can he do it for 12 rounds? If he can, it really makes AJ v Usyk an interesting prospect as size-wise Joyce is very similar to AJ if not slightly bigger - but more basic.

And with Joyce with Haymon now I think Joyce will be more likely to fight a Breazeale type guy as his step up fight into real contention. And I feel like their aim will be Wilder first & then Joshua. They supposedly got like some 4 fight plan to a big fight or some sh^t like that now. Seen a video on YT or posted here a week or two ago.
But the overall angle with Usyk's team of fighting these Joshua c#ckblock fights with Bellew, Whyte &/or Parker seem likes the move that COULD get him on Joshua's calendar before 2019 ends. And in fact if Joshua vs Whyte don't fight in April (I think its a virtual lock right now, but we'll see) I think Uysk vs Whyte could happen in April in the Joshua undercard or within a month or two of that card to potentially line up Usyk for Joshua later in the year or line him up for Parker later in the year with a chance to get Joshua late in 2019.
Thats the course I'm seeing more or less for Usyk. And honestly I think if he can handle the power at HW I think he beats EVERYONE.
We will wait to see how uysk react to the HW power and how strong his chin Is.
If he has a chin as good as David Allen. He is good to go to be honest.

Usyk CAN take it 12 rounds. One where Hearn might have to tighten the nooses around the judges just to make sure Joshua gets the nod at the end if it goes 12 (so he might allow it if he feels the judges are in line).

-First off Usyk gots to beat Bellew impressively, likely by KO in the first half of the fight or later on after a one sided uncompetitive beating or a epic fight if more competitive
-The Wilder vs Fury winner can't fight Joshua due to some rematch clause, which I don't buy will be a problem
-Whyte loses to Delboy & Delboy isn't deemed a worthy challenger
-Big Baby has pissed off Hearn with his recent comments that he gets passed over for a shot
-Ortiz & the Kubrat/Hughie winner aren't deemed more worthy or more interesting challengers than Usyk for one reason or another along with maybe a few other guys one could bring up
Mainly doe I think Joshua vs Usyk can be a bigger fight then it'd be in April at a future date so I feel like a promoter would wanna build that up more with some Usyk HW W's more than leapfrog him from a 200lb title fight to a HW title fight right off.
