I hate the excuse of "I didn't have the Amateur experience". So lazy

Lack of amateur experience isn't Anthony Joshua's problem. Its the lack of identity. He's gone through so many fighting styles throughout his short career. When the going gets rough, what is the gameplan to seal the deal?

George Foreman had little amateur experience as well. But you knew his game plan, you knew what was coming, you knew how he would respond when the going gets rough. And because of it he is an all time legend for that

Joshua really thought he could be musclebound with decent power and that is all it should take to be a great boxer. Embarrassing excuses from AJ

For people saying Fury was able to get up from Wilders ko. Yall got to keep in my Fury is a 280 pound man. Usyk is usually like 210 or so, if Wilder connects he's most likely not getting back up.

Also Usyk has what it takes to beat Fury. Fury has looked average against subpar opponents multiple times. Usyk has the handsome, footwork and iq to UD him. However if Fury learned anything from this fight is that Usyk doesn't like getting hit in the body, so if he incorporates that in he has a chance. I'm leaning more so 60/40 usyk.

Yea and Usyk isn't a subpar opponent. Fury will be up for that fight

the only thing that would surprise me is if wilder outboxes usyk


if he one punches usyk...thats just the one trick pony shyt...lets face it thats the only way wilder will bet usyk..it was bad when it was brought up for fury and its bad when its brought for usyk...because without a right hand, wilder can't beat usyk...aggressive or not
We all know he’s a 1 trick pony but that 1 trick has knocked down every boxer he’a fought. I refuse to believe he can’t knock out a much smaller Usyk

Breh is 33 this year he is who he is, all your suggestions would make sense way back in his amateur career

well he needs to either reinvent his manner of fighting from the ground up OR he needs to double his strentgh to beat usyk.

if AJ had fury's craft then he would beat usyk 10/10.

it's a shame because much of it is not that hard. how hard is it to tie someone up and lean your body weight on them when you are the bigger (and stronger) man?

If Fury doesn't take the fight, it's definitely a form of ducking.

He doesn't like fighting significantly smaller guys (cruiserweight) that he can't really outbox.
Thats what I was thinking. Usyk height alone would end up being an issue for Fury

For the record, I don't see Usyk beating Wilder because he's not putting out damage like that :manny: AJ gets hit and reverts back to his goofy self little by little as the fight goes on.

Wilder gets hit and no matter what you still in danger. Completely changes the dynamic of fights. Once AJ starts leaning back, its basically over.

wilder is trash technically coming off 2 huge beatings...temper your expectations :heh:
wilder cant touch fury
who is bigger and a much better boxer

he will knock out aj, and he would eventually catch Uszk, who is smaller and less of a boxer than fury. if he's anything close to what he was in da last fury fight, i think he can beat both.

Wilder is one of da greatest punchers of all time, that gets lost sometimes because his mechanics are suspect. da fact that he knocked down fury 4 times says a lot

Facts. A random journeyman Otto Wallin did this to him
