    How do they make money with Hurgo Vs Wallin

    IBF is defunct. They are not a legitimate organisation. Same applies to all these other belts

    Tyson Fury's lineal status is of most value. Undisputed at HW is now by boxing fans not these orgs. They could drop all their belts Fury Usyk is still for undisputed, although I'd argue Fury became undisputed after he beat Wilder.

    If they allow the United fight and strip the winner after...well, it sucks but par for the course.

    If they don't allow the initial unification, I am done with the sport.

    Hrgovic should not have problems, Wallin has no great power like Zhang, but has faster combinations than Zhang, and has a lot more stamina. Hrgovic said he is training with wrestlers right now, is it for him or Joshua, he will come tacticaly prepared. But Wallin shouldnt be underestimated.

    Even though I prefer Zhang, this is fairer. Hrgovic got a disputed win and got the title shot. Maybe ZZ can challenge the winner.

    Good because he doesn't deserve a title shot for going life and death with Zhang in a controversial win with bull**** scorecards and struggling with Keane.

    Hrgovic would get destroyed by Usyk, neither of these two are doing anything vs Usyk.

    Zhang should be the one getting the shot because of his dismantling of Joyce.

    It should be Zhang vs Hrgovic 2 for the shot.

    Whoever wins in Riyadh will be the last unified champion. The heavyweights will fight for the MBS belt from now on.

    The last time "undisputed" status was defended was Holyfield 1992 and before that Mike Tyson 1990 and before that Muhammad Ali.

    After Fury gets stripped unable to defend it that's it another 10 years minimum.

    How many era's will it take. I don't think it will be a thing. We shouldn't care don't know why people give these belts any value. They are worthless. Nobody remembers how many belts Ali held or by what org. They'll remember Fury for getting up in round 12 against Wilder. Not defeating Wlad or Usyk.

    I'm sure Usyk could beat Hrgy Bear next weekend if he wanted to. I guess this is to be expected when guys fight once a year

    The sanctioning bodies need to take each of their #1 contenders and have them fight it out for a Mandatory spot. It would make more sense than what we have now
