Looks like the clock has started on how long the sanctioning bodies will allow an undisputed champion.

I actually mentioned Lebedev as a possible next opponent for Usyk yesterday.

That fight would probably sell well in Russia.

Usyk is the man at cruiser he should ditch every belt the bodies would soon come back if he was fighting ppv in the U.K.

Lebedev just a less powerful Gassiev , Usyk is done at CW.
He can aim for Joshua, once he gets used to the weight class I think he can win!

I was wondering about this since Lebedev was assured he'd get the winner.

Hopefully not. No offence to him but the fight would be one sided and there's bigger fights for Usyk out there.

Come on , that fight wouldn't be competitive.

Why not? Usyks footwork is the best I've seen at that weight, he really did fight like a big Lomachenko vs Gassiev. He was brilliant , I think if he doesn't get tagged clean while he's throwing at same time that he can win rounds vs Joshua and keep him turning and tire him just trying to stay in touch on scoreboard.
Joshua is improving and is a decent boxer but if Usyk can make him have a high work rate I think Usyk wins a decision if he doesn't get tagged clean

I think Usyk handles him easily but Usyk deserves an easy fight at this point.

WAR USYK!!

Usyk beats Lebedev easily id think. Rather he fights “Pretty Ricky Conlan” aka Tony Bellew who is riding a wave. I’d like to know what Usyk and Gassiev weighed in ring. I think weight is overrated especially at the higher divisions, still it’s something tangible and it blows up the forums.
