I have been hating on him in the respect that he lacks the power, and the size, to fight the true giants of the division.

However.

I rewatched the AP/AJ fight, and a man that was much older and shopworn, that stood about 6 foot 3, gave Joshua a very tough fight, and he wasn't 25% of the fighter Usyk is.

This is a a very dangerous fight for AJ in some respects, Usyk could stick and move, bob and weave, and win a decision provided he doesn't get caught.

War Usyk! David Price should be easy work!

I’d like to see Usyk in with a legit heavyweight first, but I’m going to stick my neck out and say Usyk will beat Joshua. (If Joshua doesn’t get beat before they fight of course).

2019 for AJ is Whyte and Usyk.

Hopefully for Usyk Ward dont come out retirement and ruin his plans.

he'd ruin Ward

Usky fighting Joshua seems more likely to me to happen first than Joshua-Wilder. Assuming Wilder doesn't get beat by Fury and that wouldn't shock me.

I see Usyk KO'ing AJ because of Usyk's style. traditional boxers aren't fairing very well vs guys like this, Loma, etc

Well, he can out Chisora first - hate that dirty pos.
