    Tyson Fury went to the backyards of two reigning champions of a combined time of 19 years and beat them both brutally then sang afterwards

    Usyk can just meme and dance his way to an AJ payday.

    Wilder got an easy route to a belt even admitting he didn't want the Wladimir route

    AJ inherited Fury's belts very nearly getting beat and then getting beat by a little fatman a couple of years later.

    LEVELS.

    I do think Usyk is the only man skillwise who makes Fury think twice about his work, AJ and Wilder can't do that.

    For Usyk to get a shot at Fury he pretty much needs to beat AJ...Will Hearn risk AJ against Usyk over Fury?

    holy was fighting men that outweighed him by 20-30lb, Usyk has 240+ to contend with. Theres 50lb between him an Fury, its a big ask wih Furys skill on top

    On basis of the impact Covid still is making on our sport, Usyk age, and slowness of matchups made, i think Mr Usyk will not be cleaning up the division, that is unless the titles get unified and Usyk beats that one champion.

    Mr Usyk left it too late me thinks.

    Whenever an opponent steps into range Usyk sends out a probing jab to see how they will respond he is a more intelliegent fighter than any other heavyweight right now, look how AJ just came rushing in against Ruiz after flooring him in their first bout, that was so amateurish etc.

    Maybe but they`ll be missing a lot more shots that they usually do cause of Usyk`s high guard and active head movement.

    Usyk and Hunter both look like great boxers coming up from Cruiserweight that could threaten.

    Usyk is a fantastic boxer, not denying that. I'm impressed with his footwork and all round skills. I like the way he hunts his opponents and picks his shots.

    Don't think it's the right time now, though, to say he's in anyway the best in this division.

    Wait until he's fought someone of note at this level first.

    I also don't think it's right to judge AJ off one bad night against Ruiz. I do agree that I see Usyk as a threat to AJ, but if they fought now I'd go for AJ. I don't think the difference in skill is that great, even if USYK does have the advantage, it's not by much.

    Joshua has proven he can devastate opponents with power and be patient and box.

    I also think, though, we'll have to see how he develops this newer, lighter body and style.

    I favour Usyk on points or AJ by a come from behind KO, it would be cagey like AJ`s dissapointing fight v Parker except Usyk will attack more than Parker did.

    Usyk completely out-boxed Hunter at cruiser and I wasn`t impressed with Hunter v Povetkin, I think Usyk would have a better chance v AJ than Hunter would.

    No. Ruiz is undevalued. Still. He is very dangerous.

    No, it is real matter of things. Ruiz does have excellent head movement in short distances and fastest hands in division also he is maybe one from 2 top counter strikers in HW.
    Ruiz cons are short reach and that he is with slow legs, leg lazy fighter, not enough mobile.
    Skillwise he is levels higher than Wilder might even dream and his fanbase too. They did not get that Wilder is not even close to Foreman etc like guys. Not even near close to them He is not even close to Canelo, anyone from Mayweathers, Ward, Crawford etc like guys.

    You`re right he doesn`t use head movement, he uses an active high guard instead.
