Was really hoping to see Hunter vs Takam on the 22nd card. If Hunter can get an easy fight for that USBA title in early 2019 I hope he takes it and then moves on. I still think a rematch with Usyk, for his first fight at HW would serve a good purpose for both guys

Originally posted by joe strong View PostThere is a couple more rounds if I have not mistaken so that wouldn't be anytime soon plus he has 2 regional belts already with the IBO & WBA so he is already in their top 15. He is gunning for the IBF regional USBA title his father once held so if he goes that route he would fight for the vacant belt against Zhelei, Kauffman, Hanks, Alfonso or Fedosov who are all rated in the USBA top 6 including himself at #2. If he wins that title he is in the IBF top 15 as well. I got no problems with him going the regional belt route to gain experience against C+ level opponents or other prospects.

Originally posted by joe strong View PostI agree but if he scores a few more big wins & moves up the rankings why would he go back down? Both Chris Byrd & Eddie Chambers tried it & they lost. Roy Jones (Only 1 fight) was never the same after the John Ruiz fight. Plenty of CWs have moved up & had success at HW but name one that went from HW to CW & had success...

LOL... Decent ? Past Usyk (against who he was frankly embarrassed) all his opponents have been a little "shady" to say the least...
