Comments Thread For: Who should be next for Oleksandr Usyk? BoxingScenes team weighs in

Martin Bankole should be next. He is the hidden boogeyman of the heavyweight division.

Who is he ? who did he beat put of top boxers ?

It was low. but i dont mind seeing Usyk whip Dubois again, last two rounds Usyk was snapping his head back like a pinata. Usyk beat the hardest fighter with his long arms in Fury , Dubois would be a cakewalk for The Goat, guaranteed, so i dont mind for him to get his belt back , then retire

I say, bring it! If Danny Boy lands those big shots on Usyk, it's goodnight, nurse!

He beat the brakes off Jared Anderson, formerly lauded as the next great American HW.

The fact is that who you beat only matters just a bit with today's matchmaking nonsense. I can't wait to see what he can do

Martin Bakole will give him a problem. He is the hidden boogeyman of the heavyweight division.

I'ma say nay, Bakole got his ass beat and KOed by Usyk's leftovers Michael Hunter.

Currently, everyone in the HW division already got beat by Usyk or lost to his leftovers. The others like Agit are unproven.

Only interesting match up left for the hardcore heads at HW is probably a Joseph Parker fight (if Parker beats DDD).

The other named fighters are Wilder, Ruiz, if he can get his fat ass back into shape, and a circus, cash grab with Jake Paul.

Personally, I'd like to see Usyk vs Wilder at Bridgerweight.

I think Dubois deserves a rematch. I bet some of the same people who called his body shot on Usyk low, also called the body shots that Ward landed vs Kovalev legit. Usyk should be happy to rematch Dubois, should he defeat Parker, so that he can win his IBF belt back and retire the undisputed HW champ. That is, if Dubois doesn't knock his head off. People say that Oleksandr KO'd Danny with a jab. I think he just gave up, because he was getting tired and he was discouraged after his body shot was ruled low.,

It’s irrelevant if the body shot was low or not. The referee called it low and the fighter took his time time to recover then continued a one sided beatdown until his opponent quit.

I said before his rematch with Fury that so long as he won he should go get his belt back from DuBois. Silence all this "it wasn't a low blow, Usyk is weak in the middle" nonsense. What people keep skipping over was the ref warning DuBois of hitting low early in the fight. Why? Because Old Danny was hitting low. The fact that the ONE AND ONLY good shot DuBois got Usyk with was called low was because it was borderline and the ref was already watching for an illegal blow. No one to blame but yourself on that one, Mr. DuBois.

I say if DuBois beats Parker, Usyk should go get the belt he earned by actually winning it in the ring from the guy he whupped once. Than Usyk seriously think about calling it quits as an undefeated, 2 division undisputed, Olympic gold winning, good humored, completely respected, 1st ballot HOF bound National hero.

The only problem I have with that is I am starting to doubt that DuBois beats Parker....

Fight Dubois-Parker winner


then a cash out fight vs king Canelo the face of boxing, after Canelo beats the winner of Beterviev-Bivol II

Whoever wins, is the GOTG (greatest of this generation)

[R.I.P Chico]

Beterbiev at Cruiserweight..?

[Damn Wicked]

I think the highest value fights in order are

1. Dubois - Parker winner
2. Kabayel
3. Zhang
4. Bakole
5. Fury, again

I suspect Kabayel is going to be trouble for most of these heavyweights.
Bakole and Zhang are big and powerful but they can't keep pace with the smaller, quicker fights I suspect.
Zhang is precise and heavy handed but his gas tank is a terrible weakness to have against Usyk and Kabayel.
