[Mammoth]

After usyk wins this tournament he will be on the p4p list and should move up to hw and start schooling everyone there.

Lol sounds easy enough

Easy fight for Usyk

Hope Briedis doesnt try to stink the place out with all his grabomir clinching this time like he did vs Perez

[jackblack008]

Usyk in for dirty surprises, low blows, holdings, clinching, rabbit punches and home advantage.

Usyk would have to show his full arsenals to win this

Briedis can stink it out. He'll probably turn it into a bit of a clinch fest once he realizes he can't outbox Usyk. I think a fairly wide UD for Usyk. Props to Usyk going to Poland for Glowacki, Germany for Huck and now Latvia for Briedis.

If he wins this tournament he will have unified all four belts, won the ring belt and the tournament and probably against better opposition than the Super Six. He'd probably be the front runner for fighter of the year and only unified crsuierweight champion since Holyfield. At that point he'd probably go to Heavyweight but would be wise to ease his way in perhaps grow into the division with the intent to face Joshua (who'd most likely be champ) in 2020. I'd pick him to beat Wilder or Parker fairly easily if they fought tomorrow but he should perhaps try and fight some of the leftovers to acclimatize first.

Usyk is a real World Champ ! He won his World title in Poland, then defended it in the US and Germany and now about add another World title in Latvia and in the final unify all titles in Saudi Arabia. He fights anywhere in the world !!

IMO Usyk will have 2 tune ups at HW against by then former World Champ Parker and someone like Breazeale before facing THE World Champ Joshua/Fury in 2019/20.

Yup. Compare that to Ward who needed every fight at home in the Super Six and even 4 of them in his back yard and he entered with no status. Usyk entered as the consensus #1 and said **** it I'll go anywhere including the rivals backyard.

He's two fights from a superior legacy than Ward and wait to see this board hate him once they find out who he is.

It seems that your favourite fighter is Crawford and he has already a better legacy than Ward.Imagine if he unifies 147 aswell. A 2 division Undisputed World Champ. I can't recall who was this before.

I think ugly Lebedev still holds the real WBA belt
