    Fury and Usyk are the best heavyweights on the planet

    AJ & Wilder can fight it out for 3rd spot

    I know Usyk hasn't proven himself against the upper echelon and is just chasing a payday but skills pay the bills baby. He'd beat Whyte no problem.

    I’d just like to see Usyk put in a dominant performance at HW before I get excited about him in the division. Loved him at cruiserweight but this isn’t like 90’s cruiserweights moving up to a division of guys 6’2 and 225lbs. These days you’re moving up and fighting guys 6’6”+ and 250lbs+ it’s a big jump.


    I know styles make fights and triangle theories don’t work but there’s also levels. When you look at how Fury handled Chisora compared Usyk, it didn’t just look like styles or size, it looked like different levels of heavyweight.

      I don’t see Usyk ever beating Joshua. Eventually he gets drilled and stopped

        Usyk gets KTFO by the top echelon.

          Nobody other than Fury could handle Chisora the way he did though.

            Im not sure, AJ doesn’t apply that high close range pressure that Chisora does. So Usyk would have far more time and space to work against Joshua. That would be more ideal for Usyk.

            I mean, Chisora physically gave Parker more problems than AJ did, it might’ve been a closer fight tonight, but Parker was never put under any real pressure by Joshua. So that high pressure Usyk had from Chisora won’t be there with AJ.

            I think Usyk will do better against fighters like AJ that will box with him and not breathing down his neck for a full fight.

              Exactly, that’s why I said it was levels, not only style and size. I’ve never seen anyone nullify Chisora for a full fight like that. He wasn’t even competitive.

                Usyk would get KOd by wilder, facts.

                also AJ is the best HW in the world and I’m a fan of all 3, AJ fury and wilder. But AJ is the most complete

                  Yeah, we all thought Chisora was completely finished after that. Was a complete masterclass performance.

                    I doubt Wilder lands on him. And AJ is not more complete than Fury. He has him in power and that’s it.
