Opetaia and Klitschko probably out of the running for Usyk. Probably winner of Dubois-Parker.

    IIRC the Usyk vs Opetaia was more mooted with Usyk going back down to cruiser than Jai coming up. AFAIK no one has got undisputed at cruiser, then heavyweight then back to down to get undisputed at cruisrer again. Not sure whether it would be regarded as that great of an achievement given Cruiser doesn't get major props anyway, but that was my thinking on Usyk vs Jai

    Turkyi recent lobbied him to come back, and he was considering it, but will not fight Usyk.

    Parker vs Dubios winner is legit number 1 contender based off recent results and performances. Only match that should be made

    Wlad v Usyk would have been a joke. Wlad v Jake Paul would be a closer fight.

    I think they interviewed Wlad after the Usky fury rematch. And they asked him what next for Usky,.he said I think he should retire. That would scatter the belts and make a Klitschko comeback to try beat Foremans record a real/better possibility

    Likely won’t happen but I hope Usyk fights the Zhang-Kabayel winner instead. They would be WBC interim champion and they should get a shot at the WBC champ Usyk.

    Zero interest in Usyk-Dubois II, and Usyk-Parker is a stylistically very boring fight which Usyk wins with absolute ease 118-110 or even wider.

    There has been rumblings of a Klitschko return for a long time now . So now Usyk is the top dog in the Division and beat Fury in the rematch Klitschko has ruled out a comeback completely ?

    That is what I heard. Some articles quoted Wladdy and Krasyuk.

    Regardless, The most powerful promotor in the world offered Wlad to come back, and he was considering it, so it was apparently on the table.

    Let's just hope one of the alphabelts don't decide to strip Usyk before he can unify again. They let useless mutts sit on their belts for years without defending but strip the greatest of them all.

    Ok, I’m very much down for Wlad vs Jake Paul. Assuming Wlad’s legs still work, he’ll decapitate Paul.

    I honestly don't care. Usyk is above the alphabets. If it helps him get the best legacy building fights, he should unify. If it helped him to do so, he should reduce belts. Just get the best fighter's in there.

    So? Pointless, why would Wlad stand a chance v Usyk?

    You are not understanding...I'll try it a third way...I am reporting the latest news. I am not saying Wladdy would have stood a chance.
