    Great question.
    My answer is Jalolov; with perfectly managed management.
    He has at least 3 years in front of him; probably 5.
    Fury 3 years from this point becomes post prime, if not already post prime.
    Usyk in three years is also post prime, maybe less. But even in 5 years he would be a dangerous fighter on points.

    “it really depends how the stars align.”

    Words of a fool. I bet you surround yourself with dreamcatchers and vanilla essence.

    Dubois will slay them, these daft heavyweight groupies.

    The second part of your post is important. If Usyk beats Fury again (most likely), and then beats Dubois again (most likely), then it knocks Dubois down the rankings. So that means anyone from Parker to Zhang to Kabayel (and yes, Dubois) would be in a good position to make a move. Most likely, the belts will fragment after Usyk retires, so that means the new ‘guy’ will have to make several fights and possibly wait a few years for the stars to align again. So in my opinion, we may not have another HW Undisputed for 2-3 years after Usyk retires.

    I see no evidence Jalolov wants a pro career, though.

    If he did, he could have a good run.

    I don't think there is going to be next lineal guy. I think fragmented belts and company champions.

    Fury when he beats Usyk in December and has a super fast turn around March fight with Dubious

    What’s he talking about then?

    Stars aligning? What’s that mean?

    Absolute nonsense.

    Let’s talk sense. Dubois is crushing sense and knowledge from a clown’s perspective.

    I just told you exactly what he meant. Stars aligning is a common phrase, just to mean "things falling into place". = seeing what happens in the future, because we can't predict upsets etc. I'd go get checked for autism if you're taking phrases about stars hyper-literally though

    “Stars aligning is a common phrase”

    Is that so. How common?

    Hey Mummy, what’s for dinner, stars aligning sweet pea?

    Hey Daddy, what’s on the agenda today, blowing Gneall?

    Stars aligning?

    It's taken from Furys breakdown until now for their to be a next lineal champion.

    That's almost ten years. In that time Fury, AJ and Wilder all seemed most likely and Usyk came from the division lower to clean house and do the job himself.

    How likely are the fragmented title holders going to fight each other in a lesser time span?

    Fury wins by KO.
