    Usyk isn’t that small. He is 6’3” which isn’t by any means short. People also forget that wilder weighs on average 220ish. Usyk isn’t really much lighter than that but is a much better boxer.

    I think Usyk wins fairly easily.

    Joshua won't fear the one-punch knockout from Usyk like he'd have to respect Wilder's. Not knocking Usyk, but it's all in how Joshua would approach these two hypothetical fights.

    We shall see but Usyk is still shorter and smaller than AJ.

    Wilder has at least the power and height/reach to give AJ a fight.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Reach doesn’t matter without boxing skills. Power is the only advantage Wilder has on Usyk. Usyk is 100 times the boxer Wilder is. I think that Usyk beats Wilder easier than he beats AJ because of styles, but AJ isn’t the greatest boxer in the world. If he wants to come at Usyk I think it will be a mistake. I think that Usyk’s punches will have enough sting to at least bother AJ.

    Hopefully we will get to see though.

    I definitely do not see Usyk having the power to trouble AJ. I can see Joshua gradually wearing down the smaller fighter until he stops him.

    Reach doesn't matter without boxing skills? Has Wilder's career not been enough to demonstrate the opposite? lol
    But seriously, Usyk could possibly out-box Wilder, but Joshua is a better boxer than Wilder.
