According to Malik Scott, DEONTAY WILDRED would be 'ten times more' successful against Oleksandr Uzyk than Anthony Joshua.
The 35-year-old Bronze Bomber was knocked out by Tyson Fury in the 11th round. AJ was defeated by Usyk a fortnight earlier.

Scott is confident that Wilder will win more world titles, despite the fact that he failed to win his WBA heavyweight title last night. He believes Wilder can beat the WBA, IBF and WBO champions from Ukraine.
ESNews was informed by the Bronze Bomber's cornerman that he said, "Usyk or Wilder?" It's a great fight. Stylistically, I think Usyk would defeat AJ again.
"If AJ could make stylistic adjustments with his team, then I believe it'd be a much better fight.
"But I would still give the edge to Usyk... I'd probably give him the edge with stoppage - it all depends on how AJ handles the first three rounds in terms of positioning.
"But Deontay's style would be ten times more effective against Usyk than AJ's.
"Because it's like this - Usyk fought AJ, and I keep telling everyone that he got bruises which indicates he was being hit."
The interviewer interjected, "If Deontay strikes you ..."
Scott responded, "That's exactly what I mean."
He confirmed that Wilder had suffered a fractured hand and finger in the grueling defeat last night.
Scott is asking his man to take a break from boxing and added: "I don't want Deontay talking or doing anything about boxing for quite a while.
"I want him get some rest, especially after the events.
"Even after the fight, he was so tired. He was so focused on training and over the course of the fight, and was so happy to win arbitration.
He deserved good rest. "I'm going to make sure he gets it."
