Comments Thread For: Bellew: Usyk Doesn't Have The Size To Beat Anthony Joshua

[Dean_Razorback]

Joyce is much slower and stiffer than Joshua. Usyk can probably beat most heavyweights but beating Joshua will be very tough for him I think.

but i was talking about size. i said, it won't be a matter of size. it'll be a matter if joshua can catch him or not, and usyk seems pretty elusive

He's a waaaaay better boxer than stiff AJ. I can't see AJ landing anything of note on him, but we'll see.

A single punch that landed correctly will eliminate every genetic freak ability trust me.

I think Joshua has had trouble landing that single punch vs some very regular HW's lately. I think he'll definitely have that problem vs a extremely irregular LHW with the ability of Usyk.

Hopefully we'll see in the future.

It's obvious AJ/uysk fight is around the corner provided he get pass bellew.

It's just like saying uysk will beat wilder, I don't see that happening. He might win early rounds but wilder will definitely catch him, same as AJ.

The only difference is AJ is more patient to catch an opponent with a right but wilder wants it almost immediately.

Bellew obviously don't know much about HW boxing history. Smokin' Joe, Iron Mike, the Real Deal, Byrd, Haye, and Roy Jones Jr won HW championships. Nuff said.

Yes, you are right; he is nearly 40. But he went 12 with Hammer and won on UD.

Yes, you are right; Usyk is bigger, by 1 inch but are divided by a stone in their respective last bouts. When (or if) Usyk moves up to HW, then we will see how mobile and fit he is. If he stays at the minimum for HW, he will be fast but you can't surrender over 3 stone to a World Champion and really expect to win - cue the Valuev v Haye, 7 stone difference!

When you say a boxer who can move, at HW, there is only one person that has the size and ability to beat Joshua, that man is Tyson Fury.

Totally agree with you

Iron Mike was natural heavyweight, he never fought at cruiserweight, so what are you talking about?

Je is short ( small), but very muscular man.

Usyk does not have any chance against Joshua

[P4Pdunny]

well, im sure we'll find out soon enough

[Nomar]

So? Iron Mike and Joe are 5'11" and 6'0 respectively. Small for Heavyweights and having big muscles doesn"t give a fighter an advantage. Also, Usyk fought at HW as an amateur if I'm not mistaken.
