Usyk will eat that English muffin! War Usyk!

Honestly, Usyk's skill level makes any of the top heavyweights look like pub brawlers, he's so far ahead of them in movement, ring IQ, stamina, accuracy etc. I'm starting to think that he has the ability to make Joshua look silly in a HW bout. He could move and jab and gas Joshua out and then take him apart. Joshua's stamina is pathetic.

Also, his last fight was against one hell of a puncher in Gassiev and he breezed through that with no trouble because of his said skill. Gassiev punches twice as hard as Fury for sure and wouldn't have a great deal less punching power than Joshua, who has overrated power imo.

He will be a danger for everybody in this division.

"Joshua never been scared to fight anyone" ... except for the time he got beat up so bad he quit in the corner.

Usyk is similar to Ruiz, except taller and not obese.

AJ dreaming if he thinks he beating usyk.

Totally agree.

Aj power is overrated along with every other attribute he has.

Eager to fight a pillow fisted cruiser. Not eager to unify with Wilder.

Sure. And he is so scared he signed to fight an immediate rematch with the same guy.

The Hate is Strong with this one....

Even as an Usyk fan, I feel he should have to wait until Pulev has his shot. Not sure which organization has next in the rotation. Was Povetkin a mandatory? My feeble memory fails me and a quick search did not come up with an answer.

Either way, I would rather see Usyk fight twice as a HW before stepping in with the established hierarchy.
