    Usyk & Joyce are so above & beyond these guys and don't have to fight each other but credit to both they're risking it all to earn a shot nobody could say was undeserved. That is how it should be done.

    A lack of this is why the HW isn't as appealing as it once was.

    All these fat, part time boxers just sitting around expecting title shots for beating some gatekeeper type once a year. Its so lame.

      Breazeale is better win than any Hrgovic has as a pro.

        Most of them have done absolutely nothing and are all around the same level. About time they started fighting each other and separating themselves from the rest.
        LOL

        People say the road to becoming a contender in the UFC is shorter (which is true), but FFS at least heavyweight there seem to fight each other. It INSANE how pretty much half the top 10 boxers havent faced anyone else in the top 10. Bonkers stuff.

          He also proved he is better than Breazeale and Breazeale got 2 world title shots.

          Wallin should fight Fury for WBC title, I see no problem.
          Give him a title shot but he won't win. It was a solid victory against a former two-time Heavyweight mandatory title challenger.

          However, I don't see defeating Anthony Joshua. Perhaps, he has a chance against the aging 50 year old WBA paper champion Manuel Charr.

          This is a new day and new generation of Super heavyweights. Unless, you can punch then you won't thrive in this current crop of heavyweight contenders who are punchers.

            LOOOOL

            Brezeale is a better???? LOL Brezeale whose only fight before this one was nearly two years ago where he got sent to the shadow realm in about a minute and a half.

            The only reason you're talking up Wallin is because he cut Fury.

              While true they're consistently fighting top 10, top 5 HWs to even get in contention for a title shot.

              Not that the WBA regular counts for much but in boxing all you have to do currently is beat 40yr old CW journeyman/commentator and you're getting a title shot against a 42yr old Stiverne who lost 3 of his last 4 fights & not fought for 2 years. I don't think Bryan has even beat a top 50 contender.

              And the thing is he seems to get more credit for it than Joyce did for splattering a much younger Stiverne. Nobody batted an eyelid when Joyce beat him to a pulp.

                Man, do you even watch boxing or are you a troll?

                Breazeale beat Mansour and Molina before Hrgovic did.

                  Breazeale loses to Wider, "he was a bum anyway", Wallin has a win against him, "Wallin deserves a title shot".

                    Wallin is one of the best southpaws I ever seen . When was he a part time boxer ? Usyk would have struggled more with a Breazeale type and not stop him either and that’s the best southpaw but style wise Wallin has the physical advantages Usyk won’t against super heavyweights at 6”6 240 .

                      Took twelve to beat a guy who lost in one or two to a guy who lost to the champ in like six?
