    I'd very much like to see Fury vs Usyk. I used to favour Fury, but after the AJ fight I'm thinking it's closer to 50-50. Fury's size is going to be more problematic than AJ's size, mainly because Fury is a more fluid and natural boxer than AJ is.

    In that case then Joshua has already lost to 20% of the real opposition.Fury beat two long standing reigning Champions and remains unbeaten,only other fighter close to him is Usyk,that’s why they have to fight. The winner of them two is the best of this era imo . Who do you have as the best of this era ?

    I would like to see Fury vs Joshua rather than Fury vs Usyk.

    There are very interesting match ups between current heavyweight boxers, but unfortunately we can't see them. For example, Fury vs Joyce, Joshua vs Joyce, Fury vs Joshua, Whyte vs Usyk, Whyte vs Fury etc.

    I wish they did something like "world heavyweight boxing super series", where each match consists of 6 rounds, so that we can watch these boxers fight each other before they get old.

    It depends which Fury.

    I would give no chance to Fury that we last saw against Wilder

    I would give 40/60 chance to Fury vs Wilder 2

    Tyson Fury right now is the best in this era IMO, however he needs to pove that he's the greatest of his era. Two different things. He beat a long reigning champion, which is no more than what Mike Tyson did to Larry Holmes, Larry Holmes did to Muhammad Ali, or what Vitali Klitschko was supposed to do to Lennox Lewis. That was suppose to happen. It was the handing over the torch plus he is still yet to become the undisputed champion.

    I favour Fury 60-40ish, but I'm rooting for Oleksandr "Alexander" Usyk

    That's true,. Although he beats them all with relative ease save for Usyk which is 60/40 Usyk imo and JJ and Hunter would be more challenging though I see him coming through.

    After Usyk I'd pick JJ as the hardest opponent on account of his decent jaw. AJ would get sparked out. Usyk had him doing the tango on more than one occasion. Imagine a 6'9 proper HW like Fury hitting AJ. And Fury has shown a great set of whiskers. Wilder hits harder than AJ for all accounts and purposes

    When Tyson beat Holmes he was not a long reigning Champion he was coming off two defeats to Michael Spinks as well as the fact he had not fought in almost 2 years . Fury beat Wlad and also beat Wilder who were both current long reigning Champions so yes it is more than what Tyson did to Holmes. Hopefully the Undisputed fight is able to happen next year who ever may be fighting for it .

    Fury is all wrong for Usyk

    Fury is the king of the heavyweight division but I hope Usyk gets the chance to try and prove otherwise.

    I slightly favour fury and I want him to win
    However, if he is to lose? I hope it's against Usyk who is an absolute class act and arguably p4p the best in the sport

    I wouldn't be surprised if these 2 have a trilogy of their own

    2 great fighters and I can't wait to see it

    AJ is confident he will win rematch with the right strategy.

    I bet neither of those versions of Fury turn up for the Usyk fight! Would be very interesting to see Fury's tactics.
