Usyk has some options coming up. He can Unify with Fury (This is the best option money and belt wise) His other options would be, and I think it would go in this order in most to least likely:
1) Hrgovic - He is the next mandatory. If Usyk does not fight Fury I believe this is his next fight. It is all risk with no reward though. I would just drop the IBF and go after Fury.
2) Wilder - If he does not fight Ruiz or AJ I think Usyk fights Wilder. Good money fight but Wilder KOs him.
3) Ruiz - I think this would be an interesting fight and I believe Ruiz would win here.
4) Zhang / Joyce Winner - Being that these two fights are so close, I think the winner here could get a shot at Usyk. I believe Zhang would win and he would beat Usyk
In short, I think any one of these fights would be way tougher than Dubois for Usyk and I think he loses all of them except maybe Ruiz or Joyce.
I still think AJ can beat him ... if Joshua can find his balls.
I don't see many ways for Usyk to beat Fury.
Pretty sure Wilder KOs him.
Ruiz is a good fight I'd bet on Usyk to win.
Whyte's basically the same as Chisora.
Ortiz would be a decent fight in the first half.
Parker is pretty easy work for Oleks.
Joyce is too slow and hittable to worry about.
Zhang's unimpressive. I don't get the appeal.
Hrgovic's another EE Frankenstein. The kid ain't got it.
Wallin might actually be good.
Martin's a fun win for Usyk.
I can't think of any other top HWs at the moment.
If you look at the list, all fighters miss qualities that are essential to beat Usyk - excellent stamina, head movement and real aggression
No 15-round fighting stamina among those. Only Wilder dóes have real aggression when he attacks.
All are pretty 'soft' heavyweights if you look at it. No comparison to the hard men of the 80's/90's
Frank Sanchez has the right qualities, he won't act timid or hesitant against Usyk, like Joshua and Dubois. But his most serious opposition 'til now has been Ajagba.
Usyk is far better than all these dudes imo. That said, the Dubois body work makes me worry that Usyk might not be able to sustain offense against a good body puncher because of the weight disparity.
I still say if he can handle Hwt power, no one is good enough to beat him imo.
Is he really gonna plow through dangerous mandatories though? If he beats Fury he would be lineal, why bother with undisputed if you are gonna have to go through Hrgovic and Zhang to get there?
Fury can` t be trusted.
Even if Usyk drops IBF belt, there is no guarantee Fury fight would happen.

- - Usyk don’t listen to internet monkeys.
He already unified champ and Ring champ.
That’s never going to happen. Usyk isn’t dropping any belts because undisputed his goal not Fury . No one intelligent is going to drop anything to assume Fury goes through with a fight in the first place , he’s as trust worthy as Honest John the car salesman down the street . Lol :drive:

Usyk beats Ruiz and Hrgovic easily.
Wilder is always dangerous. If he lands, Ukraine loses their war.
I believe Usyk beats Joyce easily, Joyce can`t move his head.
Zhang is dangerous for everybody.
Hrgovic can take a hit and is much bigger. I agree that Joyce loses. Ruiz would be a pretty tough fight depending on how motivated he is.
