    I see this on Twitter I don't know how to link it on my phone but honestly it makes the most sense money wise. If Usyk and Joshua both win their next fights realistically theres no other fights which will generate anywhere near the amount that Joshua/Usyk will.

    In a perfect world would I rather see Zhang vs Joshua and Usyk vs Parker ? Absolutely. But realistically we have to be real here Usyk/Joshua 3 will be a huge money fight and no other Heavyweights will generate as much interest as Joshua/Usyk amongst casuals.

    The division will be in a very interesting place if Dubois manages to beat AJ. Not that I expect it to happen lol but a lot of people are talking about the Usyk vs AJ trilogy (or even Fury vs AJ) as if it's already set to happen. We've seen cases like this many times before.

    I hope Usyk retires after he beats Fury in the rematch. Nothing to prove, as he already beat AJ twice and Dubois

    So AJ loses to Usyk twice, beats nobody on his rebuild, then Dubious (who has one win of any note) and gets another title shot with Usyk?
    Funny how people are okay with that because it's AJ. Anyone else gets shredded for it.
    It would be the most corrupt thing in boxing for a long time.

    Typical bully behaviour. Why would he want to whoop that ass for the third time? Poor AJ.

    Well, AJ will be a title holder if he beats Dubois. So Usyk wanting to become undisputed again can go for that belt. But I would much rather see him fight Parker or Kabayel.

    Usyk learning from Canelo. Take the easy fight, take the money.

    "Casuals" where?

    The US? China? Russia? Germany? The Congo? Mexico? India?

    I’d prefer Parker Zhang of Kabayel be a part of the mix

    Fury Joshua would generate far more interest than a pointless Joshua Usyk trilogy.

    AJ is a bum and is about to get chinned by Dubious

    Everytime Fury AJ gets close AJ gets chinned and that's what will happen.

    Usyk should retire after Fury trilogy

    The reality is Joshua would beat guys like Zhang and Bakole quite easily

    he already beat Parker too, so who deserves a shot over Joshua at this point?
