    Fury is the only worthy opponent for Usyk

    We need Usyk vs Fury 3, after Dubois' very poor showing, little skills, no speed, no punch resistance, no ring IQ, and calls for Parker vs Usyk are laughable (drop the belt Usyk). Parker beat an ancient Zhang and the shell of Wilder. Does nobody remember Joyce battering Parker? Or Parker's gift win over Chisora 1?

    Despite what people try to tell themselves, Fury completely dominated Rounds 1-7 vs Usyk in fight 1. Boxed his ears off, before being caught in the nose and losing R8, R9 (10-8) and R10, Fury then won the last two rounds as well. Fury won the first fight clearly, although after a strong Fury effort the first half of the rematch, the massively out-of-shape fighter lost it down the stretch to Usyk. It's 1-1, we all know it. Nobody else can touch these two.

    Usyk vs Fury 3 in London, for all the Marbles... and a few belts, and let's see definitively, who the best fighter on the Planet is. I would not watch Parker vs Usyk, it's an absolute joke of a fight, and I don't even think Parker would beat Dubois. Fury is the only one now, with the Great Wilder now being a shadow of his former self. Nash out - His Majesty - and the Voice of Boxing

      Disagree Nash. Kabayel is worthy and a challenge. Parker has resume but I think that Usyk outclasses him with relative ease.

        Fury from rounds 3-7 in the first fight 1 was otherworldly and made it looked easy. Fight 1 was close but i think fury lost the fight on the rounds that didn’t really matter.. rounds 1 and 2 when he played around..

        if fury can get around 250lbs im all for a 3rd one…

        He has no confidence on his chin anymore though hence the buffing for the 2nd fight hoping he’d walk usyk like a tank… but usyk just can’t be bullied and too difficult to catch if you’re slow.

          What about Moses Ituama? I know he’s green and only had 12 fights but Turkish seems to be pushing for it soon, if not next.

                He was outstanding those Rounds. I think R1 and 2 were swing rounds, so depends how you go on them. Problem Fury is having is declining speed and stamina. He's younger than Usyk, but in terms of body clock/age, due to lifestyle, he's the far older man, doesn't live like an athlete for the bulk of the year, like Ricky Hatton. I think though if he can go to the well one more time it's for Usyk, and outside of Moses, completely unproven at this level, I don't see any potential challenge and Fury will at least push Usyk again.

                He actually was very good in the rematch for 6 rounds, not as good as the first, but really let it go down the stretch. In fight 1, he had a case for R11 and R12, both swing, 4 swing rounds in that fight, R2, very few swing rounds, if any. Parker or Kabayel vs Usyk would be 0% competitive. In fact, I'd take Dubois to beat either of them. Nash out - His Majesty

                  I'd love that one. If he beats Whyte well, then I think make it happen. His only chance to fight Usyk as Usyk will retire soon, so too soon or not, throw the dice. It sells. Big! Nash out - His Majesty

                    If that was in contract it would help fight sales even more and get Usyk involved in the promotion talking about what great opponents they were and that both men have re-primed. Wilder, also re-primed vs Moses on the undercard. Nash out - His Majesty
