Comments Thread For: Oleksandr Usyk Warns Anthony Joshua: I'm Coming For You!

[PRINCEKOOL]

Joshua couldn`t stop Parker, what makes you think he would brutally stop Usyk? Joshua couldn`t even brutally stop somebody like Takam.

Takam did not win a round, Parker did not win a round.

Joshua is probably top-3-4 hardest hitting current heavyweights in the game.

Who hits harder than Joshua? Wilder, not many more mate.

Plus Joshua has more variation in his offense than Wilder etc.

I think Usyk is extremely gifted as a fighter but as a heavyweight Joshua will walk right through him. I don't see him beating Joshua. I think Joshua would stop him.

He’s not big enough to be a heavy . Chisora could hardly cut down the ring and landed bombs on him

Joshua is bigger again than Del and packs a decent dig . Love
Usky and think he’s a character but he’s gonna get piped buy any of the top 4

Chisora came out on all in attack mode and couldn't land anything clean. Plus he gazed after 6. He won 3 rounds, 4 max. And looked dizzy and depressed at the end. And Usyk hurt him at least twice in the fight... and probably could have KOd him if he wasn't so respectful ...and just not wanting to take any chances, because of the big payday coming up against AJ.

I personally think Ruiz has a better chance of beating him than AJ.

Evander would have stood his ground, rocked Chisora with brutal counters and had Chisora running before knocking him out.

Yup, he would have "Bert Coopered" him.

I am intrigued to see how Usyk tries to solve the puzzle. AJ's height/reach/power advantage is no joke, and Usyk does get touched a bit much even-though he's pretty elusive and makes full use of the ring.

I agree.
That ring was massive vs Chisora. As the A-side, best believe that an AJ or a Fury will not allow for a "spacious" ring!

Huge Usyk fan here. This man is feel, he is very feel. I am cheering for him to prove everyone wrong.

But... I feel the same as you. He will outbox maybe any of the top HW. But sooner or later, a fight will break out during the boxing match and this is where Usyk will be found short. He has decent power, but he cannot KO a Joshua, Ortiz, or Fury. All three of those guys have a high boxing IQ just like Usyk, but deliver much more power in much larger packages. Usyk will have no answer for when he has to stand in front of someone and trade blows.

I think Usyk can beat about 5 of the top HW on movement alone. I like his chances against Ruiz, Parker, or Whyte. I would favor him over the young guns like the Joyce/Dubois winner. I think he could outwork Ortiz. I know he could beat Wilder.

But any of those could also beat Usyk, and I hate his chances against Joshua or Fury. He just is not a powerful enough HW.

I'd like to see that one because Wilder delivers his power so suddenly and violently, his first step is freakish. I'd like to see how Usky uses his smarts to evade the right or a short quick hook for 12 rds.

Totally agree. That would be a "pins and needles" kind of fight all night. Usyk cannot HELP himself but engage at some point. It is who he is. That would always leave that opening for that power. So entertaining...

Usyk better gets his first loss at the hands of Joshua and make good money doing so. If he doesn't fight Joshua next and fights any decent HW, he may as well take the loss for nothing in return.

Smart plan and he should push for it.

Joshua will run circles around him like he did against Ruiz, after Ruiz violated him there's no coming back from that lol

Pretty sure he did come back and beat Ruiz, so he actually did come back from that?

Or are you just spouting your own ******ed rules that your scrambled egg brain created because you don't like Joshua?

So lets apply your baked bean logic elsewhere...

Fury got beaten up by John McDermott, got knocked down by Cruiserweight USS Cunningham and then had his face busted open by Wallin. Despite being a nandrolone cheater, he still came back and won.

Wilder was getting beaten in every round by Ortiz and was nearly stopped in the first fight. He found a way to win.

Oh thats right, you don't have a fecking scooby about boxing.
