Comments Thread For: Hearn: Usyk Likely To Fight For Vacant WBO Heavyweight Title

[famicommander]

They'd better not split these ****** belts up even more.

Usyk should step aside and wait to get a shot at the undisputed title.

If he does, and he wins, then he'd be only the second person ever to win an undisputed title in TWO weight divisions; the other was Evander Holyfield.

I just hope that by 2021 we have an undisputed WBA (Super)/WBC/IBF/WBO/IBO/Ring/Lineal heavyweight champion. No matter if it's Wilder, Fury, Ruiz, Joshua, or Usyk. As long as it's one champ.

What happens if Usyk gets upset by Chazz, does he still remain the WBO mandatory?

If Usyk loses to Witherspoon, he should retire on the spot.

Here comes Hearn's Trump Complex again.
I want AJ to win because he's a pretty cool dude.
I only enjoyed Ruiz winning because Hearn needed a reality check.
As great as Usyk is, he's going to clipped by a contender at heavyweight.

Stop with the belts BS. Make great fights. We don’t need anymore Charles Martins or Manuel Charr joke “champs”

I agree. I'd prefer watching great fights. The belt should indicate who's the best but we got 10 in each division. I really wish these guys would throw them in the trash and pick the best available fighter.

Hearn already banking on Ruiz beating that ass again.

I think Hearn/AJ are already planning on vacating that WBO belt should they win....u can bank on it, I'm sure Usyk would be willing to wait though while Joshua/Ruiz fight Pulev, that way Usyk can get another fight under his belt at HW first (assuming he beats Witherspoon of course). No excuses here for the belts to get vacated. If Ruiz wins however, he might vacate it and the IBF for a chance to fight Wilder for big money ....even at that point they not unifying all the belts, will still be a huge money fight.

If that WBO belt gets vacated, it should be Whyte vs Usyk.....Whyte Ko's Usyk I think.

Whyte is a two time PED cheat. He shouldn't get ANY title shots.


hell, he should be done boxing.

[VislorTurlough]

suggesting Miller or Whyte get anywhere near a title shot is making light of cheating. If anything their most recent opponents should challenge to overturn the fraudulent results. Rivas especially, as the whole deception was about as sleazy a pro boxing scenario since the fixed fight days

Hearns getting desperate if Usyk looks anything less than spectacular tonight and Joshua gets hammered again we will fortunately hear a lot less from him and pa in the future.
