    Uysk is so good I’m not really worried about who he faces per se. My only concern is he beat Joshua x2 convincingly and beat the brakes off of Fury for a good portion of their fight yet all 3 fights were scored way too close. It’s only a matter of time before he gets the shaft from the judges. It’s a freaking miracle it hasn’t happened yet to be honest.

    This.

    Parker should definitely be next, provided Usyk gets by Fury.

    I don't understand the mindset of some people, are we boxing fans or are we managers and promoters? Of course Parker would be the better fight for boxing overall because he is someone that truly deserves a shot.

    It shows
    Ok.
    Usyk recently fought Fury. He beat him convincingly, but that doesn't remove the fact it was a tough fight and that the return isn't high risk.
    Both Fury and Joshua 2 (respective fights), gave Usyk tough hard fights where at least one judge saw it the other way.
    So do you feel based on the above Fury is low risk as he looked more hurt in the respective fights and was backpedaling more.
    I certainly don't.
    I favour Usyk against both, he has proven time and again how good he is, but don't see either as low risk as both Fury and Joshua are younger, noticeably heavier and bigger. Both had fought him to a SD and both look like they have hurt him at some point in their fights.
    Yes I would pick Usyk but wouldn't be thinking it is low risk

    Yes like I said I spend all day with 1300 teenagers, then I come home to a 4 year old daughter.

    With you not working youndont regularly interact with other people which is very evident by your posting style.

    PR. He surrendered it because he would have been stripped of it anyways. He didn't choose to give it away out of the goodness of his heart.

    And AJ is rank 3 and would be the IBF champ, if he beats Dubois.

    Because he hasn't done much.

    Maybe.

    Money is pretty much the most relevant aspect of the sport when it comes to those at the top. And it's certainly relevant to Usyk who likely only has a few more fights left in him.

    Well, we'll have to see just how good of a fight Usyk vs AJ 3 ends up being.

    I can understand this.

    Let's not go crazy here. Chisora has 13 losses. He's a journeyman.

    No way you want aj/usyk 3 over Usyk/Kabayel or Usyk/Parker we saw it twice aj lost and they've been on fire, they deserve a title shot. aj/usyk 3 isn't good for the sport

    I wouldn't especially want to see a third fight either.
    There is always someone new that comes along but feel Usyk would have crossed the t's and dotted the i's if he comes through the Fury fight.
    He will have beaten arguably the top 2 of the era and a world rated contender.
    I think if Wilder had of beaten Parker and Zhang, that he may have gone for that fight but I think after Fury 2 if he wins, that he has done it all

    I did, but you referenced it again so I thought you might be confused about something again.

    Hey, don't get me wrong. I understand not wanting to see AJ vs Usyk 3. Personally, i'd rather see Usyk vs Zhang. But AJ is a top contender and a big money fight, and Usyk is at the top of the food chain with just a few fights left. It's a valid contest and Usyk deserves the pay day.
