Usyk's planning to retire after 2 more fights

What happened to going back to cruiserweight?

 

Would love to see Usyk fight Opetaia but Opetaia needs to make that step to HW soon enough and make a case for a shot.

May be too late considering Usyk will fight winner of Dubois/Parker and winner of Kabayel/Zhang V Bakole.

 

Would like to see rematch with Dubois, he beat the kid version of Dubois, who has now evolved into man version of Dubois. He's the only guy I think has a realistic shot of beating Usyk. Just got to get that body shot in again (maybe an inch or two higher so ref can't call it low)

 

It's what he should do. After the Dubois/Parker winner, there's no one who should get a title shot immediately. Usyk can take his farewell fight against any halfway decent opponent.

 

Just can't see Opetaia beating Usyk. Even an aged Usyk should quite handily beat him.

 

Opetaia needs Usyk more than Usyk needs Opetaia, for sure.

Honestly, if Usyk wants to square up that WBA nonsense again that'd be fine by me. Light work, for him anyway, like Pulev is a fine send off.

I know it isn't popular but I like the idea of him snatching up BW for the 3 weight deal. Also, super rare to go up in weight then back down and keep winning.

I'd like a Hunter rematch. Hunter gave Usyk a great fight. Marias has kind of aged out himself but Michael still seems able.

That said, the only potential I hate is Zhang. No one needs to see that. We all know Zhang can't catch the cat.

 

Usyk has slowed down - that’s a trend which is irreversible and a trend that could see an accelerated rate of deterioration at any given time, particularly at Usyk’s age.

Sure, two great wins over Fury - but Fury himself has seen some decline so Usyk and his fans should allow for any possible, false sense of security arising out of Olek’s relative superiority over the more recent versions of Fury.

1-2 fights more could very well be 1-2 fights too many.

Of course wins over Parker and Zhang would enhance Usyk’s standing - but for the very same reasons those fights carry their own, inherent risk factors.

On paper Zhang doesn’t have the stamina or output but he can be a very accurate, crazily powerful sniper in the early to mid rounds - and doesn’t require too many flush connections to send his opposition onto a one way slippery slope.

 

Personally, I'd like to see him whoop up on Fury 2 more times then ride off in the sunset. I love watching Usyk beat the cocaine and boat meat outta him. LOL

 

Having two more fights would be really honorable. Far more for Usyk to lose from such fights than there is to gain.

 

I don't get why hes even bothering there's no one else left to fight hes beat the best

 

I want to see him against Parker, Kabayel and Opetaia
Especially Kabayel and Opetaia
If he win this he would retire a top 5 HW for sure

 

To become the best you must beat the best.

but to maintain being the best you must prove nobody relevant can best you.

 

Well put.

 

Fights the winner of Parker-Dooby Do then Big Bang in Tianeman Square Beijing before 1,000,000 Asians. That would be historic.
