Wow. AJ talks some rubbish.

#He's desperately trying to sound intelligent. It's so fake.#

Wow, you just described yourself perfectly.

And your point is? Loma's opinion seems to be decisive. Definitive. Complete. Unequivocal. Unquestionable. The ultimate.

Loma is the most skilled boxer in the game right now, his opinion holds some weight. Usyk is probably No 2 or 3 in terms of skill, but I still think he will struggle.

Klitschko gives Usyk a fair chance at HW. And unlike Loma, Klitschko has actually sparred Usyk. And a HW himself. And, well, you know what else in his resume backs up his opinion. Bottom line is nobody's opinion means anything. We'll wait and see, I can only see Usyk struggle because of size/weight against several top HW in the division. But not at any point I'll discount him unless he loses fair and square.

Usyk needs a cashout money. If he wants to be taken seriously he should fight at least 3 top guys first before going for any belt in the HW division

"Bottom line is nobody's opinion means anything."

Don't say that too loud, half this website is based on people voicing their opinions and I guarantee they all think their opinion means something (or everything in some cases).

I do like Usyk a lot, he's very skilled and I hope I'm wrong as the heavyweight division will be better with him in it, I just can't see him coping with a big heavyweight with long reach, but then that describes Klitschko who rates his chances (confused).

You're right though, nobodies opinion means anything, it's just fun to speculate sometimes (particularly with knowledgeable people who share an interest).

I don't have much problem with speculation as such, but when it gets out of whack with some blatant denial of reality I'd rather see these people STFU and not poison the environment.

is Usyk/Chisora still happening or no?

Why? Name a fighter who is mandatory for the world championship and decides to clear out the top 3 non beltholders first.

[Silver Spear]

Usyk is the WBO mandatory, is next in the rotation, and has said he wants the title shot that he is due.

Joshua can't make multiple fight deals with Fury and just blow Usyk off.

1. I already addressed why I think having Usyk automatically be #1 for the belt is wrong. Having him move up and automatically be #1 is a cheat to the other fighters who have been working to get that #1 spot. Moving up from welter to super welter is not that big of a deal, moving up from cruiser to hw is a huge deal when you have guys weighing 260+.

2. Joshua can make whatever deal and contract he wants, he can simply give up the belt that Usyk wants if he truly wanted to fight Fury which in everyones opinion should be the fight to happen next not Joshua-Usyk.

[Silver Spear]

Funny on so many levels. You are not overly dismissive, yet you say he is nothing. N-o-t-h-i-n-g. Firstly, he fought a HW already. Even it was a very low level opposition. So that's not nothing in itself.

"Let me clarify, I am not ****sexual and I do not find him attractive nor am I to him."

You are overcompensating.

True he fought a HW who took the fight on last minutes notice so Usyk should have won that fight easy. It is still nothing compared to the real top 10 in the division. If Usyk is ranked #1 in one organization then he should at least be ranked in the top 10 in the others right? If that is the case then why is he not fighting the top 10 in the entire division but instead fighting some low rank HW who took the fight on short notice?

Not overcompensating, just making myself clear so that there is no confusion. For the record, if you like men then so be it, it is not in me to judge you for your lifestyle.
