Game of opinions mate. Hopefully we get to see these fights and find out who’s right.

I wouldn’t be so sure regarding Fury. It’s not like Usyk can’t be hit Joshua managed that plenty and up until the 9th it must have been very tight on the cards. Great performance by Usyk last night but in my opinion Fury’s extra speed, height, reach and movement means he could win the fight off his jab if he chooses to fight that way.Joshua is a very good fighter but last night he was beaten by a fighter who was levels above him and you are right about about fury aswell because usyk beats him easily aswell. The only way you beat usyk is by going in there and actually trying to go to war with him which again may not guarantee the win but at least you have a chance because outboxing him is not going to happen. Not very often you see elite fighters come around so make the most of it and enjoy. And don’t forget in 19 pro fights with his guy has unified cruiserweight and has 3 heavyweight belts .
How the hell was this fight tight going into the 9th round ! If this was in any other country it would have been a landslide for usyk but typical British scoring like Howard foster having it neck and neck going into the final round . Sorry but this was a landslide for usyk. I don’t think fury wants anything to do with usyk tbh but you never know . I like Tyson fury but he will not have it easy again against wilderI wouldn’t be so sure regarding Fury.

After 9 rounds it wasn’t a landslide. The scorecards were not a landslide and the commentators had it about even after 8. I thought Usyk was at least 1 ahead minimum after 8 and obviously the last rounds made it a very certain Usyk victory. If you look at the the judges scores it’s fairly clear they must have had it close after 8.How the hell was this fight tight going into the 9th round !

No disputing the better boxer won and it was a great fight to watch. He’s also a better fighter than Fury for me but with the physical advantage I think Fury beats him. Hopefully it’s a fight we all actually get to see one day.
How does Joshua win a rematch with usyk ?
I think the only way he does is by dragging him into a war but the only problem with that is usyk can clearly hurt Joshua which he did numerous times last night infact his trainer told him not to knock Joshua and stick to the game plan so that could be problematic. If I was Joshua I would go straight in again but take a warm up fight against someone who fights like usyk but that again is difficult because no one does . This is not Ruiz jnr rematch and I cant see him winning it .

We need to see these fights mate I mean his easy was it to make Joshua and usyk it should be just as easy for fights like Joshua - fury Joshua - whyte . I think the scoring favoured Joshua and they were getting ready for an Eddie Hearn special but usyk took it away from them I just can’t see how that was even going into the ninth .After 9 rounds it wasn’t a landslide.

Yeah totally agree we need to see these fights made soon. To be honest at the end I still wasn’t certain Usyk would get the decision which says it all about boxing. I thought the Hatton decision was a warm up for a bigger scandal.We need to see these fights mate I mean his easy was it to make Joshua and usyk it should be just as easy for fights like Joshua - fury Joshua - whyte .

There is so much to like and admire about Usyk. I'm really not that arsed that my fellow countryman lost to him last night as I truly believe he isn't the boxer we're led to think he is.
I hope Usyk goes on and batters the lot of them.

Losing this is so incredibly AJ. Just like Ruiz he was more focused on the next one.
There's no way he would've been overlooking Usyk like he did Ruiz. He came in fully prepared tonight, make no mistake.
Usyk just showed there's levels. He put on an absolute clinic last night. Joshua just didn't have an answer, at all.
Usyk's the best Cruiserweight of all time and will go down as an ATG.
Fury vs Usyk will be a great fight, but I feel Tyson will know how to use his weight and height advantage in a way that Joshua couldn't. Fury is a much better boxer than Joshua and Usyk might not be able to bridge that size gap as the technical advantage won't be as great.
What a shame we'll probably never see Fury vs Joshua though, Fury probably would've done a Wilder 2 on Joshua, on that showing anyway.

What a performance from Usyk last night the man is an absolute machine! Possibly the best I've ever seen his head movement, footwork, timing of shots he's porn of the boxing world, Had the luxury of seen him in the flesh against Bellew thankfully!
I was 100% convinced he would beat Joshua last night and boy did he put on a show, Joshua got his arse handed to him he's nothing but a big shit static robot.
I'd say Tyson Fury was raging last night watching it too, I hope this puts the whole Joshua v Fury debate to bed now once and for all, Joshua shouldn't be named in the same bracket as Fury! Fury would take the piss out of Joshua for 12 rounds completely go to town on him.
Anyway, I hope Usyk takes over now he's capable of beating absolutely anybody he fears nobody and rightly so.
GET IN USYK!
he is some fighter
