The Reality is that Oleksandr Usyk has more work to do before he can join the Super Greats.

- - Parker the only legit hvy left to fight and I suspect they fight in Usyk's last fight since Usyk will be retiring.

And Usyk's opponents slaughter Rocky's opponents as anyone with a boxing brain knows...yeah!!!!

Yes, just maybe Dubois the Durable, Last fight Fury and oft KOd Joshua "slaughter" Joe Louis and Ezzard Charles where you live; but I doubt that any of them beat Parker or Kabayel today, or do much better against Itauma than Whyte did.


There is just too much left on the table for any 24 fight veteran to walk away from and not risk being remembered as "kind of a ducker".

I know....I like Usyk too, but them's the facts.

- - Now there U go again.

Usyk is The Champ among champs who don't pay attention to what a bunch of scabs on a boxing board dribble about.

Ah, but for me, my boxing activity is not limited to posting here, providing a rare opportunity for fans to engage an expert. When writing or public speaking, they don't get to answer back; sparing us all some wasted, precious time.

As for Usyk? A brilliant, brilliant question mark, waiting for better answers.

Usyk-Parker

then Usyk VS winner of Agit-Moses

Yes this makes sense. If Usyk fights Moses next, and wins, people will say who moses beat? Make it worth usyks time.

[Smash]

Very eager to see if younger guys like Parker, Kabayel and "The Future" Itauma do better than near- completely worn out Fury, Joshua and Chisora did at the tail end of their long and difficult careers. All close and/or competitive fights too.


.

completely worn out? lol

joshua was i think 31 when he fought usyk & holder of multiple belts
fury had some hard fights with wilder but was the current wbc long reigning champ

those guys were still top of division for a reason not because of anything else, there were the best guys

[JakeTheBoxer]

Just fight a future young super star Itauma and ride into sunset.

[pollywog]

7 fights in 5 years against overhyped flawed and fragile British boxers and 3 of them were rematches.

Yeah, i think he needs to fight Parker and Kabayel because they're not u.k dossers lined up by their connected promoters for an easy shot at a strap.

Thing is, if he fights Parker next there's a good chance he'll lose and then his ATG'ness goes down the shïtter and Parker gets lauded as the best of his era.

Turki desperately needs to back a U.K winner and hold the straps to ransom. YungMo is his best bet to do that.

I hope Usyk doesn't turn into greedy belly 2.0 and fights Parker in Ukraine for legit legacy rather than Itauma in Riyadh for mo money and the pleasure of dis interested camel jockeys.

I agree. I'd like to see both Parker and Kabayel both get their well earned shots as, considering where Fury and Joshua were in their career when Usyk got them (the very end), both challengers have about as much credential on their resume as Usyk does!

After the proposed "G.O.A.T." dispatches his no. 1 and 2 contenders, a showdown with Itauma would be massive.

hes already beat his top 3 contenders who most im sure would agree are better than the current next crop of contenders

[HandsofIron]

Next HW roadmap for Usyk - defend against Parker, make a charity exhibition match with Wlad Klitschko in Russia, and then beat the Moses-Kabayel winner in SA.

Drop down to Bridgerweight/Jr. Heavyweight and collect all the belts with a final fight with Wilder.

After that, take a high paying, notoriety fight with Jake Paul in Las Vegas and call it a career.

Yes, Parker and kabayel deserve a fight with usyk after a good run of wins. But one of them might need to fight Itaumas to get usyk.
So I'm sure either kabayel or Parker will hope they are usyk next opponent, otherwise they will fight itauma to get usyk?
Or maybe itauma jumps queue?
