    Nobody outside of Fury is going to be a competitive match, and after the last sloppy affair with Wilder, I am not even 100% sure Fury will be.

    That is why Usyk is the undefeated, undisputed cruiserweight and unified three-belt heavyweight champ.

    A legend in 19 fights.

    Usyk will also beat fury.
    Parker is no match for usyk and there is no need to fight him.

    Usyk will splatter aj and then beat clearly fury and retire as a certified atg

    I don't see Usyk retiring for several years...

    Giving ample time for Parker to fight him

    I can't see parker troubling Usyk at all. Don't get get me wrong I'm a parker fan, a kiwi that was ringside for most of his fights in NZ. But his stamina and output isn't nearly what it needs to be to trouble Usyk. An that's putting aside his predictable patterns

    I don't think anyone has ever put that kind of beat-down on Chisora like Parker did

    If you don't think he can get to Usyk (like AJ did) then perhaps you are reading too much into the Usyk hype-train

    Usyk is not superman and Parker can PUNCH

    Fury in their rematch

    And that was a much fresher Del

    Only hype train is the one that left the station 02 on Saturday night just gone

    Usyk is real

    Usyk got hit by Joshua - many times

    He will get hit by Parker - maybe harder

    Parker got hit by Del, quite flush and often

    AJ will hit him, definitely harder

    To be fair, Chisora is a better fighter today than the Fury 2 fight.

    Then what stopped AJ from doing that in their first fight?

    By 2023, Parker will have grown a thick, horny hide over much of his body including his chin under the tutelage of Andy Lee. He will be more tree than man in some senses. He will be invulnerable to all forms of attack but fire. Usyk will be able to gather points but completely unable to hurt the man-tree Parker, who, of course, will retain his current mobility (maybe a bit stiffer first thing in the morning if it's frosty).

    So it's a question of whether Parker's footwork is equal to the task of cornering and damaging Usyk seriously enough to stop him. My pick is still Usyk.

    A thick, horny hide, eh?

    That's a new one....

    Agreed, Parker's got great hands but his feet are too slow and his cardio isn't up to snuff.
    Usyk stops an exhausted Parker.

    Haye and Fury stopped Chisora, and he was a younger fellow back then.

    I don't mean to badmouth Parker. He's a former titleist, and has consistently been one of the top ten for, what, six or seven years now. But he seems to lack the ability to get himself out of second gear, and going 1-1 against Del Boy Chisora (let's be honest) is not impressing me at all.

    As for the Usyk train, that is no hype train, that is a freight train. That is undefeated, undisputed cruiser and unified heavyweight champ with wins over Joshua, Chisora, Bellew, Gassiev, Breidis, Hunter, Huck, Glowacki, Mchunu. Hell, even Chazz Witherspoon and Johnny Mueller were fringe contenders in their respective division as one time. To have that quality of wins in 19 fights...I've not seen it before.

    Agreed - Usyk is special

    But he is not a superheavyweight

    And one day he may find himself in a scrap in which that truly matters....
