Yes, nobody knows who Oleksandr Usyk is, who in 2018 won:
International Boxing Federation World Cruiserweight Title
World Boxing Organisation World Cruiserweight Title
World Boxing Association Super World Cruiserweight Title
World Boxing Association Super World Cruiserweight Title
Ring Magazine World Cruiserweight Title
World Cruiserweight Lineal Title
Ring Magazine Fighter of the Year (2018)
ESPN Fighter of the Year (2018)
Sports Illustrated Fighter of the Year (2018)
If nobody knows who Usyk is, they aren't boxing fans. Straight up.Comment

The only problem that I see with Usyk is that if he gets beat the first time he goes to HW then that fighter won't get credit with the win.
Usyk would be balsy if he fights a top 10 guy and if he wins many doors will open up really quicklyComment

I don't see why guys like Povetkin and Ortiz would want to fight Usyk though. They maybe have 1-2 years left, Usyk is MAJOR risk with absolute zero reward.Comment

He is spot on about Usyk. Only hard core fans know him. He is a good fighter but Whyte gets nothing for beating him and loses everything if he gets beat. I don't know why he doesn't have Ortiz on his list though.Dillian fights anyone though mate. pic.twitter.com/uJS214n5R2

Whyte fighting uysk is irrelevant for his course to a title shot and probably be a unified world champ.Comment

whyte don't have time to waste. Get him wilder and the nest fight you will see him will be the undisputed.Add another guy on that list that Whyte wants no parts of!
-Pulev
-Ortiz
-Usyk
Dude is mad, eager to face Wilder and get sent to the ER faster than a amateur daredevilist but refuses to fight Pulev, Ortiz and now Usyk!
Him and AJ are really cut from similar cloths, weirdos who claim they fear no one but they’ve ducked other fighters!Comment
