    It's not happening is it, let's be honest. Aj has 2 fights left wilder in Jan (more likely march) and fury in August next year in a UK stadium probably Wembley. Furys 2 fights left plus nganno, uysk and aj. Uysk has 2 fights possibly 3 dubois this week, fury next year probably march and possibly a drop back down to fight bivol or possibly callum smith if he beats beterbiev.

    Once that's all done its going to be belts up in the air and probably a super 6.

    I don't see there being a 3rd fight.

    If there was, I don't see Joshua doing much better than he did in the previous two fights. Usyk has Joshua's number and would make it 3-0.

    My brother in christ AJ wouldn't go "all out" against the slow ass, untalented gatekeeper Helenius, what makes you think he could do that to Usyk?

    I don't see it going any differently, and if he tried to go for the KO I'd expect it to go even worse actually. I feel like if he went for the knockout he'd either gas and be easy pickings for what's left of the fight (which is exactly what happened after round 9 of the rematch), or he'd get caught with something that would make him fight skittish the rest of the fight and we'd have yet another Usyk decision. If he gassed early enough, I wouldn't be surprised by Usyk stopping him through accumulation.

    I'm half expecting the first scenario to happen to Dubois this Saturday.

    Usyk owns him. I don’t see AJ beating him within the next couple of years.

    Joshua is shot and will never hold a World championship belt again as for fighting Usyk a third time,Usyk stops him in a trilogy fight .

    In my opinion AJ can't get any better. He's going to have to rely on Usyk getting worse, and that's a possibility.

    Joshua did try to knock Usyk out, he was just too slow. Nothing changes. Not got the punch resistance or stamina to pressure Usyk for long periods either.

    Usyk is the worst possible match up for AJ. Quick and too difficult to hit and also too clever.

    AJ could absolutely beat him by robbery in a trilogy fight. Usyk barely escaped the robbery the second time and it was on the cards the first time. The fact Usyk couldn't KO AJ means that AJ has a good chance of getting the victory.

    It's like people thinking Bivol would just beat Canelo again even though he was technically robbed of many rounds and the scores were close. No, he probably gets robbed unless he gets KD's or a KO. Because Canelo would likely do a little better anyway.

    Usyk beat AJ 10 times out of 10.

    But we don't need a third fight. What for? You only need a third fight if you need to settle things. A trilogy makes sense if the H2H is 1-1 in the first two fights or one fight ended in a draw. But Usyk dominated AJ twice so there are no questions left to answer. Nobody wants to see a trilogy between these two.

    AJ is getting worse in my opinion. Helenius roughed him up.

    Usyk is one of the best fighters P4P right now, AJ is nowhere near one of the p4p best he doen`t have enough experience at all.

    Who wins? Usyk's bank account while fans lose. Waste of time for his career as he can't afford time wasting & recycled fights. This would be one of the most pointless trilogies ever, as AJ seems even slower, more regressed & indecisive.

    Fury will son Wilder even faster in a 4th fight. There's no reason for a 4th fight.

    Wilder took a bad beating in the 3rd fight and, while those effects werent revealed against Helenius, onlookers will see Wilder standing in front of headlights in the first sign of trouble. Shadows of the Gypsy will forever haunt him.
