    Who will be the next heavyweight champion king of the next era?

    The Usyk Fury AJ era is coming to a close. But the heir apparent has not emerged. America has nothing to offer. I presume there's some terrors coming up from the Eastern Euro bloc. Also UK always has a few candidates, is this guy Moses something the real deal? If anybody has any ideas of young heavyweights to keep an eye on please kindly share. Thank you.

    It's impossible to know, right now

    It'd be easy to just crown Moses Itauma, but it's just to early to know.

    A lot of the Eastern Europeans are unknown entiti3s to us in the West.

    Dubois has turned himself into a solid HW after struggling early, but he still has holes in his game.

    We might end up in a situations like the '80s, where outside of Larry Holmes, the HW title was just going from guy to guy with no real king

      divisions go through booms and busts

      we could be in for a heavyweight drought soon

      But when a special fighter comes along you’ll know he’s special in the first round against a good opponent

          I think Agit Kabayel is the best active heavyweight that has never won a major title. He'll have his interim belt emailed to a major belt if and when Usyk retires without fighting him, though.

            The best always emerges out of the pack. But sometimes the "politricks" block the heir apparent from taking over. Lennox was clearly the best after he KOed Ruddock in 92 but he didnt get his shot to prove he was "undisputed" until 1999 vs Holyfield, which they cheated him out of the first fight with the bogus draw in March and then he won the rematch in November. The Klitschkos were also clearly the best but were sidetracked by Don King protecting his phony beltholders Byrd and Ruiz from the Ks. Again, the best one always emerges and rises to the top. Right now he's out there but he's in obscurity and totally under the radar. I just don't follow it enough to know who it is. Also the boxing media isn't on it, they only focus on the current attractions. HBO had a great idea in the "Night of the Young Heavyweights" matchups but they let it fail.
