    Ego and Ego aka Hearn and AJ

    No way their egos allow another active heavyweight to unify all the titles before them, no way Pedro.

    would be happy if he did, but it would never happen. Uysk doesnt want to wait around and no one should stop his road to Pure ATGness.

    I don't think he was holding back, but I do think he'll take enough from the experience of the first bout to get Joshua out of there in the rematch. He was very close to stopping him as is; if that'd been the end of the 11th session, instead of the 12th, I have my doubts that Joshua would have gotten off the stool.

    I bet on Usyk by (T)KO/DQ, and I will do so again.

    Would prefer to see Fury v Usyk than Joshua v Usyk.

    If Joshua took the step aside money to face the winner that could play into his hands but there's a lot of ifs, buts and maybe's along the way. It's possible that either Fury or Usyk retires and then it's back to collecting the belts.

    What we know is that If Joshua beats Usyk then he's back in control of three belts, anything could happen that would stop Joshua conveniently picking up all the belts by beating the winner down the line.

    He was doing what his corner told him to do..."do your job and don't go for the KO". That's what they told him; I'm pretty sure
    I have a direct quote here.

    I think Usyk beating AJ again best paves the way for a unification fight with Fury. I think Fury wants to put a bowtie on his career eventually, and if he can do it in one, clean fight with Usyk, he'll want to do that.

    If there is still doubt about who's the best between Usyk and AJ (because AJ steps aside), then Fury theoretically has to fight both or wait until they settle with more fights. I think Fury having both Usyk and AJ on his plate is too much and makes it less likely either fight will happen.

    In short, Fury is too lazy to fight both Usyk and AJ, so I'd prefer Usyk and AJ settle the matter themselves and keep things simple for Fury.

    No, there is Eddie: one from most impactful prom in the world.
    Eddie most likely will push him to do next fight as rematch vs Usyk and God help him if he will do this like he did vs Pulev.
    Sadly.
    He needs time.

    I can't follow what you're saying because of your overuse of ambiguous pronouns.

    In a normal world yes. Fury just beat down his rival and Usyk outboxed his. They should unify with Joshua getting the winner. (I think mentally this is also better for Joshua) but I think we’ll end up with Usyk vs Joshua 2. I’m not sure Fury will fight Whyte. I think he only wants big fights.

    Yeah that's absolutely ridiculous. In that case he would've beaten Usyk had they fought each other again the following week, right? :lol: :facepalm:

    I think he could've definitely stopped him if he really wanted to, especially late.

    Had he put his foot on the gas a round earlier he probably would have.

    Would be the best for all concerned. Joshua needs to go back and rebuild now turning himself into a fighter. A guy his size...with the power hes got...trying to become a boxer is criminal especially when hes no control of distance.

    Get him back on the power training...teach him how to set people up and get him hurting people. What we,ve seen so fars not gonna be good enough not to continually need rematches to get anywhere.

    In the meantime let usyk and fury get on with it.

    It's not part of the gravy train process.
