I’d rather see Kabayel against Usyk than Wardley

    Every opponent has or tried to target his body not to say you shouldn't or he can't be hurt there but its been done to death imo and is also a lot easier said than done. Usyk is not going to stand static like these big galoots and just let him tee off like he was a heavy bag.
    Wardley has sparred him and gave a very insightful talk in the build up to Usyks previous opponents when everyone was saying go to his body and he was explaining the difficulties of it and why its easier said than done.

    Usyk is out so I think Kabayel vs Dubois makes perfect sense in the meantime. Kabayel wins he is by far the most worthy, if he can not get by Dubois and I know styles make fights but really its saved us seeing Usyk vs a guy who isn't good enough and has almost certainly been flattered by limited opposition

    I feel Kabayel would likely have better success or more sustained success but Wardley would be the bigger threat purely based on his one punch power and how dangerous he is in exchanges and the risks he'd take. I think Usyk fights both but its best for Usyks legacy if Kabayel fights Dubois in the meantime regardless of the result.
    Hopefully he fights both, there isn't much else out there.

      Personally I've got Kabayel AND Wardley beating the draft dodger

      Momentum is everything, neither of those guys is a celebrity boxer like AJ/Fury, they are hungry, and they both want Usyk and won't need to be dragged to the ring like AJ/Fury

      You Mark my words, if Usyk doesn't do Fury 3 next like I expect, and fights Kabayel or Wardley, either will retire him.

        That's pretty funny. Your choice is not the most deserving, the highest decorated, or the most interesting. It's the guy who you think targets Usyk's weakness - basically doing your best to get Usyk beat.

        At the end of the day, none of these opinions matter. There is no clear front runner. Whoever Usyk picks, there will be a thousand whiners complaining that he's ducking the other 3 guys.

                Not underestimating, just a disagreement.

                  Agit vs Usyk is the fight to make
                  At least there seems to be a little intrigue in this fight
                  Fabio would get run over as he’s a little green and has minimal ring iq to even come close to equalling Usyk’s
                  His luck would run dry

                    I would argue that Kabayel is the most deserving as well as the most interesting.
