No one is a stiffer than the fighters name you chose to use here.

Do you want to address the substance of my post? If not, **** off...

... didn't Hearn just said that Usyk has to beat Bellew first in order to get a shot at AJ?...

Hearn always has someone blocking the path to Johnson

Wilder should outrun Joshua and challenge Usyk first! After all, this is his dream — to become a champion at cruiserweight as well.

... I wonder what kind of money team Wilder may offer Usyk in order lure him...

Would imagine Usyk will want 2 or 3 fights at heavy before getting in with the likes of Joshua or Wilder.

He has the ability to box circles round anyone at heavy, but doesn’t have huge power, so it will be an interesting journey for him at the higher weight.

Have to see how his stamina holds up with another 20 or so pounds on his frame as output is such a big part of his game.

He’d be giving up somewhere between 4 and 7 inches of reach on AJ, Wilder and Fury, plus somewhere in the region of 3 to 6 inches in height, so punching up, needing to fight inside or around a long jab...

Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Given all the horse***** that Eddied has been spewing, we're suppose to believe another line of his bulsh? Roberto Cammarelle made AJ look slow and uncoordinated in their Olympic 2012 title bout; Usyk will make AJ look blind and crippled. Usyk = cat like reflexes. AJ = oaf like reflexes. There is no way to prepare AJ for what Usyk brings to the ring. The fight would be no better than a comedy act at best. Usyk, "AJ. your shoe's untied" AJ, (looks down at shoe to get belted with Usyk's uppercut) "Thanks." And on and on. Short of Usyk grabbing AJ's wrists and beating him about the face with this own fists, there will be nothing that Usyk won't be able to do to AJ.

I don’t know how long you have dated Usyk for but don’t make it so obvious. I will concede Usyk is a brilliant fighter but Gassiev was a walking punch bag, compliments of Abel sanchez. Usyk gets knocked out by Wilder and Joshua even though for the most part he could very well outbox them. Especially Wilder, but the minute they touch him he is missing. Gassiev hit him once in the fight towards the end of the 2nd or 3rd round I can’t remember but Usyk put Gassiev in the Doggy position. He hit him so hard Usyk thought he was at home with his Mrs about to perform a ***ual act. Those big guys in Heavyweight will leave him non compos mentis

First Bellew then Whyte and after that Joshua.

Joshua is down to fight anyone not named wilder or ortiz
