Usyk is the frontrunner right now.

Only Usyk matters, beating number 2 and 3 in the division in their backyards. Undisputed champion. Round it off with Bellew in his backyard.

Maybe if Mikey managed to beat Spence hed be the only competition.

Usyk is the only one who deserves it at this right but you said contention so as a dark horse, I can see Josh Warrington being in contention if he beats Frampton. That'll be wins over Selby and Frampton, both top 5 in his division

Good list. I'd say Usyk is clearly in front.

Usyk is the front-runner. Let's see what Crawford does and the WBSS of bantamweight

It's a pretty poor list so far but yeah, Usyk probably be at the top. I'd also say Rung and then in 3rd place AJ who will have unified and beaten his top contender.

Hughie Fury

If Wilder can knock Fury out, it would be tough to top knockout victories over undefeated Ortiz and Fury IMO.

I see a lot of people saying Usyk and he's right there as well. If I count anything against him it's that he barely won the Breidis fight and both of his wins went to decision.
