Comments Thread For: Usyk Will Not Step Aside From Joshua Title Shot, Says Hearn

[Bronx2245]

I agree with you.

I look at Usyk and I see a really good cruiserweight.

I've said over and over I don't see that really good cruiserweight having what it takes to beat the top super heavyweights over 12 rounds.

It'd be a different story if Usyk had awesome one punch power, or perhaps if he was lightning fast.

But that's not Usyk, he's not nimble, he's not overly powerful. He's a skilled technician and pressure fighter. I don't see that style being effective vs Joshua and in fact I can see him getting blasted out.

We're on the same page! Usyk needs to do something exceptional for me to want Joshua to fight him before fighting the Fury vs. Wilder winner! So even if Joshua has to drop the WBO belt in order to make the "real" fight happen, I'm all for it!

Me too actually

I think Fury also thinks Usyk beats AJ because he said he’s not sure the AJ fight will happen if AJ has to fight Usyk first

lmfao did he actually say that? hahaha

Do you get upset when any fighter moves up and fights for another title? Or just this time?

"Upset"...i could care less if they just hand him the belt.

Just a though from a boxing fan that maybe maybe it is not a bad idea to fight some one with a pulse before fighting for the belt.

I guess when you grew up watching a Holyfield actually earn a shot you wonder at all the $illiness today.

If Usyk can get a belt for pennies on the dollar he should take it.

Chisora is a good start.

Yeah. He said if Joshua has to fulfil his mandatory obligations before they fight, he isn’t sure AJ gets through them without losing.

Even in that chance meeting they had in Marbella when Fury was in the car, he asked Joshua “what about Usyk?”

So if you put those two things together, it sounds to me like Fury doesn’t fancy Joshua’s chances against Usyk.

This is reported twice a week on Boxingscene for the last 3 months. We get it.

Absolutely but Eddie was saying a few weeks ago that Joshua just wants to WBC belt regardless of who owns it because he wants all the belts.

So if he vacated one of his then this whole “dream” was a lie or excuse to use when it suits.

Yes..............
