      I was impressed with usyk's footwork. The way he picked his shots and his head movement were very good. However, he wont be beating AJ any time soon.

        Fury is Mayweather of hw division.

        Anyway, If usyk cherrypicks well, he can have some good wins in division.
        ... I guess that, except for ODLH, FMJr had at least a longer reach than all his opponents...

          It didnt really take away my reservations. His size/strength/power is just not HW level in this era. Opponents wont respect him enough to fight tentatively so he will be on his bike looking to get the decision, or gas guys out and stop them late. It'll work against some but its not a gameplan that can be relied on to work consistently.

            I think he can beat Joshua, as Joshua's movement and robotic style plays into Usyk's strengths. Joshua isn't a high volume puncher either, and when he has thrown more than usual, has gassed quickly

            Joshua would rightly be the favourite but I think its crazy to think Usyk has no chance based on the Chisora fight, who has a completely different style

                Ruiz has faster hands and much stronger punches.

                    I thought he'd get hit less. Chisora punches in slow motion and Usyk's meant to be a good mover. I expected better boxing out of Usyk.
