Based on Wilder turning down about half a dozen offers that each at the time over double his career high purse to fight AJ. Avoiding Whyte like the plague and turning down offers to fight him . Win or lose I see him fighting either the winner of Kownacki vs Helenius or Ajagba vs Sanchez. Fury turning down multiple chances to fight AJ and turned down the Whyte offer.
If the rematch clause doesn’t get activated I’d like to see Joshua fight Whyte next. It’s a easily sellable fight with a bit of needle. Fury/Wilder should fight Usyk next ideally- any combination will do even if it has to be held in Vegas (I don’t see Frank taking a risk on a stadium show at this time).
If AJ is able to win the rematch that would be an remarkable achievement. That said I see Usyk winning even clearer and stopping late in the rematch.
I don’t know, I don’t think these guys should be mentioned in the breath of Ali, Marciano or Louis etc because those guys fought every week nearly. It’s unfair. And there were probably 50 guys better than most of the top 10 today (in the 80s maybe even 100! Every young black strong kid wanted to be Ali in the 70s so it caused like a never-ending conveyor belt of middles and heavies in the 80s and early 90s)
There’s not much out there. It’s why below average boxers like Joshua rule today (once a year if we’re lucky), or yesterday rather.
What if wilder beats fury tho? Possible fury v joshua fight back on. Stranger things have happened. Be interesting to see furys take on tonight. The furys have always rated usyk highly. Be interesting to see if he,ll take him on if he beats wilder. Furys distanced himself from the fight in the last few months. Be interesting to see what his take on it is now after last nights performance and usyk holding 3 belts now. Surely if he beats wilder...usyk has to be in his sights.
