I feel that Usyk should beat Parker. I think the kind of fighter he would struggle with is a brawler with an iron chin. Dubois, Fury and AJ neither has a great chin.

Itauma is still too young and inexperienced but could be the only one edging usyk "tomorrow"

There's always going to be another one to fight.

Boxing always produces a challenger. At some point he's either going to have to say no and draw criticism, or keep going and eventually lose.

I'm cool with either. It's up to him.

He has to best beat kabayel. Then he can claim to have fought everyone. Then he can retire.
Anyone can walk out at the top, is that supposed to be hard or something? It's about walking out when you reached your potential and goals. Usyk wants to be goat, so he actually can't walk out yet because your not crowning him hands down the goat. You are being stubborn

Enter Kabayel.

Fury 3, a reprimed Wilder and Moses, then he can retire. Parker and Kabayel are both b@ng average and more on the level of Joyce and Chisora than the aforementioned. Nash out - His Majesty and the Voice of Boxing

Enter Kabayel.

I agree he fits the bill in that way but it's just a shame about his record. Beat Chisora in 2017 and fought no one until Sanchez and Zhang 7 years later. Hard to see how this would be good preperation for Usyk. Fighters skills are learnt and forged in hard fights not in walkover fights. I'd have to pick Usyk in that fight.

Parker or Kayabel is fine. Usyk at this point has his legacy etched in stone. Hopefully he can defend in America so fans get a chance to appreciate him.

There is no such thing as 'hands down' the goat. There are 1000s of boxing fans in the world with an opinion people will always disagree and have their own opinion. If you get into goat debates then really that is the best you can do
