Peoples choice heavyweight matches for 2023
These are arguably the best and proven top eight heavyweights today. I want to see them all. Forget all the phony diluted belts. History only remembers the fights.
Fury vs Usyk:
Fury could be too big for Usyk and that could be bad for him because Usyk has proven with Joshua that he can fight at heavyweight, although Joshua never really tagged him like he did Ruiz so his ability to stay in a fight after getting bombed has not been proven. Usyk's size and skill could be too agile for Fury. Someone he has never seen. Fury looked vulnerable the last Wilder fight, giving the awkward Wilder too many chances to hit him. This fight would prove how skillful Fury really is and put Usyk in greatest of era status if he can beat Joshua twice and Fury also.
Joshua vs Wilder:
Both have lost twice recently and the loser should probably retire unless it was a controversial fight. I picture a brutal ending for Joshua if he were to lose. The winner would have the option to fight the winner of one of the other matches. A win for either fighter would elevate their status in boxing history. No fan can say they don't want to see this one.
Ruiz vs Whyte:
Ruiz has not been stopped in two fights with Joshua and one with Parker. No doubt he is a test for any up and coming fighter. A win over Whyte would leave no doubt he should challenge one of the winners. Likewise a win for Whyte would allow him to get back in the picture. Who doesn't want to watch this fight.
Parker vs Joyce:
Joyce needs to prove himself and a win should allow him a big fight. Parker is a durable seasoned veteran and would be a great test for him and would get him a big fight if they can beat Joyce. Parker and Joyce should match up well. This fight should take place late in September but with boxing there are no guarantees until they step in the ring.
