    Again ask a mod, then I’ll await your apology.

    Odd to me that anyone would seriously consider either of them better matchups than the most significant fight in recent heavyweight history.
    Usyk has been relatively meh at heavy, and Wilder is getting a third match in a series hes won like 2 rounds in.

    But to each their own I guess.

    If you really hate AJ / Hearn I can see why you'd be happy with this. That aside can't see any good reasons.

    I can't see AJ fighting Usyk in the meantime. Too risky. If Usyk is comfortable with the size and power (I know quite a bif if) then the Ukranian is the favourite. Hearn would much rather AJ vs Whyte, and I'm sure he'll be able to engineer it.

    And as much as I like Fury he's still a ticking timebomb. Concerned he'll let himself go again before or after another Wilder fight. This was the last thing we needed.

    As individual fights, unification is better, yes for sure. But the two fights with arguably TOP4 HW in the division ( Usyk, Wilder , AJ , Fury ) all fighting one another and taking place is 2021, is better than one ( Fury vs AJ ).

    HW has been too stagnant for the last 14 months because of this unification BS and Covid. Time to get the ball moving. Unification can wait I say.
