    So, Dubois vs Parker winner and then maybe Kabayel vs Zhang winner? That would be one hell of a resume if he manages to beat them both and stay undefeated.

    Pretty sure he needs Freq Oquendo before considered a HoF-er.

    To me, the only logical outcome in the heavyweight division is that Parker beats Dubois and that Usyk fights against Parker.

    Usyk Dubois 2 may be something Dubois "deserves" due to the fight's controversy, but Dubois doesn't have the magnitude currently, to be a big fish in the division. I feel like nobody takes him serious, while Parker as former heavyweight champion made a very interesting comeback and deserves a title shot for the undisputed.

    I was thinking 2 more fights was what he was going to do.

    Nobody takes Dubois serious? Parker is the hype job that hasn’t got better. It’s up to Dubois to take Parker out then back to back demolition jobs of him and AJ will make Dubois really hot.

    There was no controversy. Dubois lost every round and quit after the jab.

    2 more fights is perfect if he fights and beats 2 more top 10 ranked contenders I think he's a top 10 Heavyweight of all time.

    He would have more world title wins than someone like Foreman for example.

    If we're not counting the defenses of the lineage, I think Usyk is now leveled with Foreman at 5. Foreman has Frazier, Roman, Norton, Moorer & Schulz and Usyk has AJ, AJ, Dubois, Fury & Fury.

    Yeah that's correct and if we're being real Foreman’s 5th title defence has a huge asterisk over it because most people feel the Schultz decision was a robbery.

    Risky buisness.

    38....

    1 punch from Dubious or Zhang would chin him, shame to lose to a punchers chance.

    Sometimes it's about quality rather than quantity.

    7-0 in world Heavyweight title fights would be very impressive and as I said it would be a better title record than someone like Foreman who often rates in the top 10 and had a very top heavy resume.
