    Ali fought and beat the best of his era...Zhang and Filip are second-tier fighters. Usyk needs to fight the likes of Fury, Wilder, Ruiz, Whyte (if he isn't banned) to come anywhere close to Ali. Ali also never needed 5 minutes to recover from a shot whether it was head or body.

      Yes fight everyone, fiight everyone and don't dodge anyone. Look at everyone in top then now and fight them. Zhang and flip are top ten. Wilder and fury are too obvious so I didn't mention them but the Ruiz too.
      That sounds like a lot of fights for usyk, for someone his age though so unlikely

        Whilst it may not have been 5 mins....if you think Ali never pulled shady **** then you dont know much about him or boxing. Watch Ali vs Cooper 1.

          Tyson needs to be reasonable here , most think Usyk is the only guy out there with any reasonable chance of beating him and he should be given that chance . There's plenty of that silly Saudi money to share.

Perhaps this time team Usyk should offer Fury the match with something similar or slightly higher than what he is getting against Ngannou.

              What happened to the Saudi take-it-or-leave-it offer that was "soon" to be made? It seems they never came up with the offer and are even struggling to get it done with AJ-Wilder which has been in negotiation for almost a year now.
              It is weird - Usyk claims his only aim is to become the undisputed, yet he truly never sent any offer to Fury, but complains of things we can't even be sure a true. Saying all that, Fury has his fault as well for not having this fight, but it isn't 100% as many people think.

                Was Fury reasonable when Wladimir activated his rematch clause? Was Fury reasonable when he negotiated with Joshua while having a third fight with Wilder obligated? Fury is unreasonable and it's benefited him, so for him to ask other's to be reasonable is hilarious.

                Boxing is a business and you get what you negotiate for not what you are worth. Fury many times has brought up how insignificant money is to him yet every decision from books, tv shows and opponents prove money is the only motivation behind his actions.

                ​​​​​​At the end of the day, there's only one heavyweight fight that matters and both men need make it or there reputation will stained.

                  People don't like to see "how the sausage is made," (PAUSE) but this is the business side of the sport! 30% of a PPV fight with Fury is more than he can make with 70% of a fight with DuBois, Hrgovic, or Zhang! If I'm Team Usyk, I get the bag, and never grant him a rematch! If Usyk wins, he's the Undisputed HW Champion, he's rich, and he never has to fight again!

                    Everyone got greedy once that Saudi money started flying around. Let's not think that Fury is the only one. Ruiz prices himself out too. Fury is the A side here and is the main draw. He can fill a stadium fighting Chisora for a 4th time ffs. Usyk literally had to fight in Poland because nobody else wanted to see him fight Dubois. If he is smart he will take a 60/40 or a 70/30- split. That will still be way more than if he fought Hrgovic or Zhang.

                      Clearly he doesn’t want this fight even the biggest Fury fan girl can see it now ,he’s actually pleading with Usyk to not take this fight now .
