Would you be excited for a Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk fight in November or Dec?

[Sid-Knee]

If Usyk looks good against Takam, then hell yes i'd love that fight. Usyk isn't a coward either so he'll get in the ring with AJ. Nor is he greedy and deranged so he won't ask for a grotesque amount of money to do so like the other cowards in the division.

Great fight! How could anybody think otherwise?

[sicko]

Depends on how he looks vs Takam I guess but honestly he needs about 3 Fights a Heavyweight first!

It is a Good fight for the HARDCORE boxing fans but it is not a BIG FIGHT or anything like that right now

If AJ fights Usyk, we're never going to get that Wilder fight.

Great fight! How could anybody think otherwise?

Since the Yes crowd are the majority, maybe one of you can explain this ?

Usyk 6'3'' 78'', blown up hw
AJ 6'6'' 82'', natural* hw

I like both guys and I'd hate for AJ to have sleepless nights over the beating he'd give Usyk.

Mike Tyson was 5’11, Holyfield himself was a blown up cruiserweight.

It’s a challenge for USYK just like consistently going to the fighters turf and beating him there. USYK has consistently challenged himself and consistently beaten the men he has faced.

It wouldn’t be easy but boxing isn’t supposed to be!!!

Jeez let Usyk fight 2-3 contenders first before taking on the kingpin? He has to build himself into a Heavyweight. Do you want to witness a fight of the year/decade type of fight? Yes? If so then you need some patience. Usyk fighting Takam now and Povetkin at the end of the year, well then he might be ready to face AJ next year.

Hearn needs to stop mentioning Wilder's name and start throwing names of other more deserving fighters. The more he mentions Wilder, the more expensive he gets.

Hearn needs to promote such fights aggressively. It basically states, Wilder is not the only choice we got, go fck yourself and go to hell with your stupid demands.

Take a page from Bob Arum's book. He can always come up with other choices. It's also a good clever negotiating tactic.

Put an end to putting all your eggs in one basket like you did with Brook.

Sensible, insightful post.
Uncle Bob doesn't even waste time making optional fights for his fighters.
He just makes them right off the bat.
What else can any promoter do if the other side is too greedy
and has insatiable appetite for more money?
Don't even know why Hearn didn't learn any lesson from the Khan/Brook situation.
