Yeah, right.

Then, Tony Bellew who will have unretired at that time.

Good fight. Wilder will be re-matching Owen Beck , AJ and Fury won't fight him as Owen is the bogeyman of the division what other top heavyweight have you seen willing to step up to Owen.

Still not sure what I expect of Usyk in HW. I am somewhat excited for his upcoming bout with Povetkin

I don't like the move to heavyweight for usyk. His power at cruiser wasn't great I don't see how he has any kinda power at heavyweight. Skills can only take you so far when you're lacking power and undersized.

He might as well try though. He's already beaten everybody there is to beat and there's a lot more money at HW.

Seeing Usyk fight Povetkin will be a good indication of what he can do at heavyweight.

Joshua should concentrate on fighting Fury and Wilder (or those who beat them) and to show to the world he's really the best instead planning a fight against various Usyks.

Possibly ,but many guys are of 6'4 plus at top now. I think he out points Povetkin . Povetkin had a A plus team to prepare for Joshua ( DDD, Sirenko , a few other heavy hitters ),he would need some Usyk like fighters to be at his best to win . not sure id gage that on the other guys style wise for him he will have more trouble with taller power punchers who are now seasoned fighters.

He fought Joyce awhile back in a 5 rounder losing 1 or 2 rounds where Joyce wasn't slowing down , these two guys are another example of where the division is heavily stacked even more in 2020 .

Style wise for Joshua ,i don't believe he poses a threat level enough to see it being close. Unlike Wilder who Usyk could have more chance to out point .

Usyks a different mix,some guys will cause him trouble some wont, seeing who Povetkin gets as sparring partners would tell us more.
