As a generation of heavyweight boxing masters, Mike Tyson was not impressed by the recently concluded anthony Joshua vs Oreksand Usik battle, and he even hinted that the two men could not defeat themselves if they were at the same peak.
In last week's WBA, IBF, WBO heavyweight boxing match, Joshua, who played at home, was not as sharp as the outside world imagined, but faced the short Usik, who lost awkwardly by a unanimous score.
Due to the surprises of the game and joshua's disappointing performance, many boxing fans began to reminisce about the turbulent moments of the heavyweight boxing world, and many people said that if Tyson was still young, he would be a major problem for Joshua and Usik, especially Tyson, who destroyed Larry Holmes and Michael Spinks in 1988, which is likely to bring nightmares to Joshua and Usik.
Tyson also spoke up after the battle between Joshua vs Usik, saying that by watching the match, boxers on both sides had a bad night.
Tyson wrote on social software: After watching Joshua and Usik play, maybe they both had a bad night. With this game, do you really think that at the same peak, they can beat me?
Tyson's above statement may have some ridiculous meaning, but it can also be seen that he is not deeply impressed by the game, as for whether Tyson, who is also at his peak, can beat Joshua and Usik? This is difficult to judge, but it is more certain that the passion of boxing fans for Tyson will not be copied to Joshua, Usik, or even to any boxer in today's heavyweight class, after all, Tyson is unique.
After defeating Joshua, Usik became the third boxer in history to successfully move from subweight to heavyweight after Ivand Hollyfield and David Haye. Now, with three gold belts, he is only one game away from becoming the undisputed overlord of his class, and is expected to meet the final "Finals" with Tyson Fury vs Deonte Verde next month.
At present, Holyfield is the only boxer who has won undisputed championship honors in both the subweight and heavyweights, can Usik recreate the magic of Holyfield? We need answers!
Personally, I think that if Furi loses to Wilder next month and Wilder competes with Usik for the undisputed title, Usik still has a lot of hope of creating a miracle. However, if Furi defeats Wilder again in three battles and meets with Usik, according to the style and physical conditions of the two, Uzik wants to defeat Fuli with a certain difficulty, the winning rate is only about 40%, and Usik can not ignore Joshua, according to the contract signed, the two need to implement a rematch next, and the Usik team has promised each other.
Whether Usik can defeat Joshua again is unknown, although many people feel that the second battle will not change much in view of the gap between the first battle, but we cannot underestimate Joshua, at least in the case of summarizing experience, Joshua in the rematch will perform better, and it will be much more difficult for Usik to defeat his opponent for the second time.
