    it won't be like that at all. Usyk fights nothing like haye and AJ fights nothing like wlad.

    Which Heavyweight with a pulse or I even go lower, which Heavyweight who was ranked in the top 50 has your Hero beat?

    He deserves it but he is definitely not ready for that step up as of yet

    Usyk can cut off the ring Haye relied on his power...

    AJ won't be grabbing and jabbing Usyk all night he will need to try something else..

    Sure. It wouldn't be the first time a champ found a good contender coming up from a lesser weight.

    In the good old days, it was common for a champ from lower division to move up and be respected enough from the bigger champ to give him a fight right off the bat.

    Usyk and maybe Hunter are probably the worst matchups stylistically for AJ in my opinion.

    He deserves it more than anyone else in the HW division, and that includes the champs.

    Bum Squad's best wins going into his title shot were Audley Harrision's petrified geriatric shot corpse, Sergey Liakhovich's even more shot corpse who was 2-4 in his last six fights, including being stopped in 3 of those losses, and a part-time boxer who hadn't fought in a year and a half, and his close buddy Malik ''Scuba'' Scott who was wrecked by the exact same slapping left hook puny mental patient Charlie Z laughed off.

    And AJ's only win of note going into his title shot against Prince Charlie Martin was an injured Dillian Whyte. Take away the Whyte win and Hrgovic has a better resume than AJ going into his first title shot.

    Deserves got nothing to do with it. Get the feeling AJ’s not going to fight many fighters who are threats. Eddie, will do all he can to protect AJ’s reign. That’s his job.

    I agree and can’t wait to see which “no-hoper” becomes the next Andy Ruiz.

    Joshua is gonna dump the WBO title and let Usyk fight whoever for the vacant strap. Maybe Parker, Kownacki, or Chisora versus Usyk for the WBO title in the first quarter of 2020 would be my guess.

    :lol: Isn´t Usyk among the current top 10 P4P?
    Don´t you want to see best fighting the best?

    Actually it was Scuba Scott. But Gavern did lead to that eliminator fight.
