Feels like this era is at its end, Usyk may do one or two more but I don't see much beyond that.
Wilder and Fury are at the end as well, AJ maybe has 3 or 4 fights left.
Zhang and Joyce both got exposed
Makhmudov and Sanchez got exposed, add in that Nigerian guy who's name I forget who a lot were high on.
I guess that leaves Parker, Kabayel and Hrgovic as the torch carriers for the next few years.
A few HW fights I'd still like to see:
AJ vs. Fury
AJ vs. Wilder
Usyk vs. Wilder
Usyk vs. Ngannou
Ngannou vs. Wilder
Great match ups.
AJ - Fury needs to be done now, because it's still a huge draw in England and if Fury loses x2 to Usyk, his stock might drop.
AJ - Wilder, I don't know, cos AJ is still kinda prime, while Wilder is completely done, but he might land a bomb on AJ and then it's kinda 50/50.
Usyk - Wilder is a complete mismatch. Fury destroyed prime Wilder, ffs.
Usyk vs. Ngannou will be a farce, Ng doesn't stand a chance, but it might sell because of David vs Goliath factor.
Ngannou vs. Wilder - I'd watch. Two monster punchers against each other. Wilder will be a favourite since he is a boxer, but he is much smaller and who knows what happens if Ng lands on Birdlegs. Also, not sure if Ng wants to get slept for a second time in a row.
There are fights I'd like to see. But they'll be big money fights rather than defining fights - it all feels a bit defined right now.
Wilder, Joshua, Fury and a few others had their chance and didn't take it. Then the little Ukrainian came up a division and, when the Saudis forced the issue, the US/UK brigade had missed their chance.
The current crop of 30-plussers have a limited shelf life, so we’re going to see gradual torch-passing over the next couple of years with guys like Itauma, Torrez, et al. My hope is that the next generation gets back to the heart of the sport and as far away from the “A Side” political nonsense as possible, delivering exceptional fights that matter.
Time will tell.
