Might be Dave Allen if Hearn's track record is anything to go by. He put Allen in with Luis Ortiz with 10 days notice!

Jarrell Miller.

I think Usyk in order to get acclimated to the weight should warm himself up with the likes of a Marco Huck or a Bryant Jennings.

David Price. Big, slow, chinny with no gas tank and bad defense. Perfect showcase opponent.

I don't think he's gunna take a soft touch believe he will go for a top 15 opponent right away I'd like to see him fight Big Baby don't see it happening though.

He's already defeated Huck. Price is a bum, no competition there. Not a Parker, White or Miller yet.

I think he needs some lower level guys while he acclimates to the division. He should take his time and put on the muscle necessary to hang in the upper levels before challenging those guys. It would be a mistake to take a big name, then go fight scrubs because he'll be endlessly criticized.

What do you guys suppose would be Usyks ideal weight at Heavyweight? 220-225?

I think Szpilka would be a good tune up for Usyk.
