Comments Thread For: Fury Notwithstanding, Wilder-Joshua Remains The Era's Defining Heavyweight Fight

Usyk is better than both. And he could run the division for the next 10 years because of his defensive skills, hand speed, and elite stamina, all of which age very well.

Usyk hits like a little girl

This fight defines the number one heavyweight period.

This fight defines the number one heavyweight period.

Shouldnt the no1 HW have fought a decent amount of the top 10 so we'd have plenty of points of reference for how good they actually are relative to everyone else? this is not the case for either guy currently.

There's a reason Usyk is ducking Del Boy, he's waiting to cash out against Joshua.

I’m a big Usyk fan, but something tells me that his injuries might be worse than being reported.

By the time he fights again, it’ll be his second fight in almost 2 years or something. He’s only fought once now since late 2018.

That’s a lot of inactivity. He’s 33 and had a very long extensive amateur career and been matched tough as a pro since he turned over.

I wouldn’t be surprised if injuries are catching up and he’s looking for risk free fights or no fights until he can cash out.

this fight will never happen, because joshua has the power to ko wilder. wilder knows with someone like fury/ortiz he has 12 rounds to land a big punch and it doesnt matter if he loses all the other rounds. whereas if joshua catches him clean he can take him out with one shot. hes avoided big punchers his whole career, its a case of styles and thats why he took the fury fight and rejected the huge offer from team joshua.

This IS the Era's defining fight. Both are undefeated, never been destroyed like the other guy. Joshua was completely ruined and beaten from pillar to post in an embarrassing way not by a lucky shot. He is a good version of Frank Bruno. Just because Fury isn't black and doesn't look the part Lyle doesn't "see" a Frazier Ali Foremen Tyson Lewis. Whoever beats the tall big white lug with the awkward style and the good foot work will be the best of this era. End of story.

This fight, Wilder vs Fury II is the big show, AJ flubbed his chance. The best heavy weight boxer vs the biggest puncher of the era. AJ isn't the best boxer, or puncher, or iron chinned, or mentally strong, or able to perform on the big stage, or able to face down the top and on and on and on.

Nailed it.
