Comments Thread For: Joshua: I Really Want Bellew To Beat Usyk, He Has The Punch

[champion4ever]

Oleksandr Usyk may be a greater threat to Anthony Joshua than Deontay Wilder. After all, he is also an Olympic Gold medalist just like AJ. In addition, he is a fundamentally sound boxer and is from the same Olympic class of 2012 too. So Joshua knows and is very familiar with him all to well.

Of course, Joshua wants Usyk to lose. Its hard enough to refuse to fight Wilder and Fury, the last thing AJ needs is another heavyweight that AJ has to duck.

Because him and Bellew are friends you dummy. If Joshua is ducking everybody then why is his resume stronger than Wilder's in half the fights?

I just can't see Usyk doing well at heavyweight if he moves up he might be able to outbox Joshua and Wilder but they will eventually put him away with one or two big shots

not saying thats a certain outcome if he fights them cos a lot of the time we see a boxer beat the puncher but its a tough ask when he has no power even at cruiser

Joshua doesnt want the smoke fr osyk, if he proves to have a grand chin in heavyweight hell outbox most of them he's technically more sound than Joshua

Dillian Whyte 2 in April and then a trilogy in late 2019.

Matchroom has circled the wagons, they're just going to keep fighting each other until they retire. I wonder if British fans are going to tire of paying for these PPV's.

Usyk is too fast and mobile for Bellew.

Usyk by decision.

[P4Pdunny]

Of course he wants a Bellew victory.

It looks as though if Usyk wins it will be Whyte (regardless of Chisora fight) v AJ and then AJ/Usyk and thats AJ tied up already until 2020.

The WBO said they were annoucing their mandatory in October (which would have undoubtedly been Whyte as having beaten Parker, they are not going to ask for an eliminator) but they didn't??? Next Monday, freak result aside, Usyk is WBO Super Champion and moves to heavyweight where he can request to be installed as the WBO Heavyweight mandatory. Usyk v AJ in April?

[LetOutTheCage]

No chance in hell, sorry but Usyk is too good, he will likely KO or get a late stoppage on Bellew
