    A heavywieght division in past Usyk -Fury-Joshua era

    Usyk is about 2 fights away from retirement. Fury is retired, if he ever comes back, it will be only for Joshua fight. Joshua is 36 old, not far from retirement and he is coming from a bad loss.


    So it seems Parker, Kabayel and DDD are frontrunners.

    In that case someone from the triangle Wardley -Pulev -Hunter becomes WBA champion also.

    That is pretty much it. Not much. Hrgovic, Ajagba, Vianello...are not the real competition for top guys.

    maybe somebody else rises, but we will have to wait.

    Moses Itauma is the future. Fury will come back for Joshua. Too big of a fight to walk away from

      I'm not worried.

      These things have a way of clearing themselves out.

      I really do think the farther we get away from the "businessman" era of fighters led by Floyd & Canelo, the closer we get to young guns who want to prove themselves & fight the best.

      Also, Turki's gonna make sure we get the real champion like he did at HW & 175

        Pulev is 44 in 2 months and washed. He should not get any world title shot. Usyk won't waste anytime with him WBA have all ready said Usyk has 2 years by that time Pulev won't even have the regular and Usyk will be retired

          Lack of star power continues to be a real issue at heavyweight.

          I mean no offense to Agit Kabayel but...well....you know

            Kabayel is Islamic. Saudis love him already.

              It is very much in transition. Usyk is a good #1 but will not last much longer due to his age. We shall see what Jalovov brings. Hrgovic I think should not be written off. IF he gets in shape, I think he will be top 3 in the division.​

                What is crucial that we have to have young HW's beating the top guns of the dying era. That is how you build the next star/generation.

                Usyk may retire undefeated if his form holds up. Fury is done or will only take a big fight against Joshua. Joshua himself did get beat by Dubois so that was good. Wilder got beat by other old men.

                It's not going the way it should.
