Comments Thread For: Joshua vs. Usyk Must Happen Within 180 Days, Says WBO Prez

Who wins this bout? How do you think it'll go?

I think Usyk wins this.. I know he's little, not much pop, but he's no Ruiz. Much better and slick.

I see Joshua getting caught by a decent combo mid fight and get's stopped.

Depends if he has the chin and can punch his way out of danger like Ruiz.

This is Usyk, not hunter, not Ruiz..

The man can box, Ill bet ALL my points with anyone that Usyk schools AJ

I think its way to soon for Usyk let him fight Chisora/Ortiz first regardless i dont think Joshua will fight him high risk low reward.

WBO ordered Usyk as a mandatory..

Joshua cant run from this one.

Also how is it too soon?

Usyk nearly knocked out Hunter.. the whole fight he out-classed Hunter who had a war with Povetkin.

Usyk isn’t beating any of the top 3....

I’ll get laughed at here, but Bellew out boxed him for a handful of rounds, Usyk isn’t heavy handed and he isn’t a heavy version of Lomachenko..

I give Del Boy a good chance of mauling him

I can see Joshua knocking him out sure.. but I sense Usyk out-classes Joshua and then probably loses to Fury or get's KO'd by Wilder

I need to see more of Usyk at Heavyweight.

That said, he fought plenty of big men in the WSB, so i don’t think he will be overly concerned about the size of the bigger heavyweights.

Usyk is one of my very favourite fighters, but he gets hit a lot more than people care to admit. Bellew and Briedis both caught him a lot, Gassiev did with some shots towards the end of the fight. He can’t be getting hit like that up at heavyweight.

It’s a big jump. Steve Cunningham had never been stopped in his life, yet Fury viscously knocked him out because of sheer size, and Fury isn’t the biggest puncher out there, but still too strong for a cruiserweight.

These aren’t the days of Cruiserweights jumping up to fight Heavyweights that are 6’2, 220lbs like back when Holyfield did. Now you’re jumping up against guys 6’7 and big strong units.

I mean straight to AJ? he has only had 2 fights at Heavyweight dont get me wrong i would love to see it everyone would but im not sure Usyk has been "marinated enough".
