    Joyce would be a full course meal for Usyk.

    The juggernaut would get picked apart and would win no rounds. A one-sided ass whoppin is all that awaits Joyce.

    Hand speed and chin of Ruiz Jr could make it interesting.

    He doesn't have the feet, but his fast hooks, counters and combinations could be an issue. I think he would be willing to trust his chin and trade at every given opportunity.

    I would also be interested to see Parker too.

    Lots of good fights, so it'll be a bit soft if Usyk retires because he can't get Fury in the ring.
    What's the point of having a champion if they don't defend the belt

    I don't think anyone really has a chance at beating him outside of Fury. I'd say Windmill Wilder would have the best chance out of everyone else. He could clip him (I don't see it happening but........).

    No one else is even coming remotely close to being able to box "with" him.

    I see nobody who can beat Usyk at the moment but Tyson Fury.

    Someone with chin and stamina not like Chisora and Joshua(he also seems like having menthal problems after the Ruiz KO), they were competitive...for 4, 5 rounds.Without chin they will have to fight too affraid of being catched, because Usyk's a great counter puncher.Without stamina it would be always in best case 4:3 for them, then losing all last 4,5 rounds.
    I see people mentioning Sanchez and Joyce, for me Hrgovic has better chance, even after that not best performance for him against olympic silver medalist 125kg Zhang(who wasn't tired after couple rounds how all expected).He has stamina, taking so many flush punches from 125kg KO artist Zhang...and still in the game, still throwing combinations, taking rounds, super granite level chin.Unstopable by many huge punches, after that he will have no fear from 100kg boxer and Usyk's style punches are much easier to absorb then Zhang's.He also has body shots in his arsenal.Of course he can also box, he's olympic bronze medalist, Hrgovic will be putting so much presusre on Usyk, on his body, fearless from his punches, for all 12 rounds, it would be totally different from that chinny, scared and gassed Joshua and there will be more rounds like that 9 round, the only round Joshua put the pressure, making Usyk look vulnerable..and gassed, which help to land on his glass chin in the next round..and the end was near :)
    I don't rate Jalolov's chin as granite, but he can outbox everyone.37y.o.Joyce "could be outboxed by everyone"
    Fury could do everything with everyone, it's just how serious he has prepared for the fight, had the feeling his last fights he was so condifent in his wins that he didn't prepared 100%, but for Usyk i'm sure no matter all the talks about "middleweight dosser" he will be training on maximum.

    Fury is the only one who even has a chance. No one else wins a ****ing round!

    Usyk is next level. One of the greats.

    Fury and only Fury. Usyk beats everybody else in the top 10 with ease.
