I think Usyk is getting a little ahead of himself
I thought he looked ok , although it wasn’t the biggest splash ever made by a boxer
My thinking is he needs a couple more fights at heavyweight to actually see if he belongs
Not sure going for a top dog in the division is the smart move hereComment

What he actually said:
Wilder's belt is his favorite
Andy has the most belts
Joshua brings the most moneyComment

Yeah I agree, if Ruiz retains Haymon/PBC would definitely insist on dropping the WBO over the IBF.
And if AJ retains, he’ll drop the WBO for the reasons you stated.
And thirdly I think both would much rather fight Pulev as opposed to Usyk.
I’m not convinced it will be Usyk-Parker though. Fury is #2 and I’m not convinced the Wilder rematch definitely happens next. I could see it being Fury-Usyk especially considering Bob and Frank’s relationship with the WBO, and if that fight went to bids Arum/ESPN could likely blow Hearn/DAZN out the water based on what they’ve been paying Fury.Comment

If AJ wins, i reckon IBF first (pulev before end of March) and then Usyk in a summer monster at Wembley. This is why Wilder is whinging about being contracted to fight Fury. He is going to have to fight Ortiz, Fury and Whyte before any unification and one of those will beat him.Comment

If AJ wins I could see the ABC’s working something out, cause of size of the sanctioning fee’s. And team AJ won’t mind either as they’ve hid behind mandatories before. He’d likely smash Pulev, I think Usyk possibly beats him though, if he can survive the first few rounds, AJ will be blowing out his ass after 5/6 rounds with Usyk due to all his feints, angles, movements etc. I’d actually pick both Pulev and Usyk to beat Ruiz if he manages to upset AJ again.If AJ wins, i reckon IBF first (pulev before end of March) and then Usyk in a summer monster at Wembley.

As I’ve said I’m not convinced Fury-Wilder 2 actually happens next. I really hope it does as it’s the #1 and #2 in the division, but will Arum and Haymon really work together?
Whyte ain’t fighting anytime soon...Comment

I think Fury and Joshua, in that order, would be the worst possible matchups for Usyk.
As flawed as I think Joshua is, I just don’t see a guy without great power or a great chin as being likely to survive long enough to exhaust or outpoint him.Comment
