- - Why would AJ want to give Blubber and Deyonce a payday beyond their station when they shafted him twice each when he was looking for the best fight?

AJ should give the undefeated top young guys a payday and opportunity to improve their station, not a pair buzzards feasting on carrion?

Joshua needs to get back in line and earn a shot. He's lost 3 of his last 4 fights. He's now fighting a guy who put in a decent effort against White, but before that had beat no one of note.

Wilder would bring Joshua a great payday to retire on after Deontay knocks him out. And he should be begging Fury for a fight if he beats Usyk. Another final payday, and another loss against Tyson. If Usyk wins, he has nothing to prove again until Joshua gets back in line and o. A winning track. Hopefully he can make a successful comeback, but I still don't think he beats any of the 3 named, and probably not Joyce either.

I would like to see more explanation of the rankings. If Usyk wins, he'll be the first man, and the second boxer overall, to win undisputed in two divisions in the four belt era. He'd join notables like Henry Armstrong, Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson, Evander Holyfield etc, as a multiple time undisputed champion. Being the first undisputed double champ and first undisputed heavyweight champion in the four belt era would certainly etch his name into the history books. And he's won every belt on the road. Win or lose, Usyk is the greatest road warrior in modern boxing, and we need more great champions like him, who fight only for their country and their legacy, never duck a fight for money or B- side negotiation business.

Usyk certainly has earned a great deal of merit in the short number of times that he has laced on the gloves as a professional, as you point out. His skillful work in neatly wrapping up a rich era of Cruiserweights being most notable. His mastery of the formidable Joshua even more noteworthy still, and we all await to see if his abilities can push up upward yet again, to immortality in the form of becoming the next heavyweight champion boxer of the world. The collection of belts is assuredly an accolade as well, but a study of where those have come from reminds us of their limits in terms of value, naturally; as we live in a time when many if not most of those fighting into the top 10 fracus get to win one or two of those at some point.
Belts, weight classes, title disputes and unifications are all simply a waste product of a poorly administered business.
Explaing, or defending my rankings would serve no purpose to which I aspire. Just know that these things are always purely subjective, and in the case of my own, done principally for my own amazement.
Here presented, as a framework for assessment of a very important fight. The peak of a very old and distinguished pyramid.
One sport, one champion.

Anthony Joshua would need a box of hand grenades in order to dominate Deontay Wilder in my opinion. But... I'm willing to see if he can outwork and stop Franklin, and rooting for him to do just that. Boxing benefits from from a hot heavyweight upper class.

Its nothing he needs. His isn't a boxing career. It a knockout career.
