The under appreciation Usyk gets from these pundits (bar Bellew who of course fought him) is ridiculous. Yup, because he ain't British or else the media would be hanging out his arse.

The sooner people realise that money rules sport then they will see why Francis fought Tyson and then AJ. Boxing is on a bad place and it needs fights like this to get the views back in. Tyson dances around AJ. Usyk has already done it twice. But AJ is back to being a world beater and the media will feast on it like a hungry Tiger. Na. AJ at his current weight beats Usyk and Fury. Devastating speed and power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks good under Davidson no doubt but Usyk and fury both beat him. I thought AJ should’ve beat Usyk but his gas tank ran out, same as it did against pulev when he nearly got the stoppage early. He took a few rounds off then finally caught him. Fury and Usyk don’t seem to get tired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fury beats Usyk (size difference is the key factor) and Usyk still beats AJ (I just think he's got his number). Styles make fights and as always, the heavyweight division is unpredictable. I just hope as fans, we get the fights we want to see in the next couple of years. Ngannou has been a bit of a wild card and has been entertaining, but he's not at the top table in boxing.

The big guys all dick around fighting no-hope bums for a big paycheque and do absolutely everything they can to avoid fighting each other, including relinquishing belts ffs. AJ could have retired after his double defeat to Usyk, especially after his cringey post-fight meltdown. But he seems to have gotten his head right and is taking boxing very seriously now. He's still in his physical prime at 34 so it's good that he's still on the scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosanostra Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 23 hours ago, Tazio said: This is a problem for these mixed fights. The MMA guys aren’t used to the kind of one punch power a true boxer can produce regularly during a fight. There are plenty of extremely heavy hitters in MMA but the devastating accuracy that AJ showed there is way more rare. N'Gannou was clearly nearly done at the first knock-down. The look on his face said it all. I actually felt sorry for him because you could see that he realised he was light years out of his depth and he was going to get hurt. As for his switch to southpaw just before he got knocked down the first time..... what the hell was that? 🤣 Terrible, terrible idea. He just basically gave away his defence and Joshua clicked straight away. Really horrible tactical decision and a catastrophic error of judgement. Can't take too many KOs like that. Hope he takes a long time off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of speculation that Fury and Usyk are both close to retirement. If they fight twice or even three times, there's a fair chance it could be their last.

It’s a stick on DDD fights Hrgovic for vacant IBF world title and ball fights ford for his WBA title. Wonder what other 3 fighters frank and Eddie will risk against each other.
