    TBF it's not like the WBC has had much credibility at heavy for a while... Even setting aside the Wilder's Bum Carousel era, they elevated Ngannou to top ten for going 0-1 as a pro.

    I hope Wilder would manage a last great performance and be able to pierce through Usyk's iron jaw.

    Why should he be criticized, he conquered the whole division and is fighting a real fighter...

    Last?

    First?

    Same difference... It'd be entertaining, maybe, and in some ways serve Usyk right for taking an undeserving soft touch - but it won't happen.

    You can see in Google trends and then put in USA

    Usyk is very well known here

    That and just living here

    Your average person has no idea who is the heavyweight champion of the world in the USA

    I doubt Usyk would be very well known in the UK either if he hadn't fought Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury


    Usyk only is known by hardcore boxing fans for the most part like the ones on this forum

    If Usyk indeed fights Wilder, this fight will have been 4 years prior. It surely can't serve as justification

    Idk, when the dust settles I don't think so...

    Wilder's fraud will be more obvious when ALL of the contemporary hype has gone - at that point, it'll probably be known that several were clearly better than him.

    Better to fight Wilder than not to fight at all, Wilder will be a decent win on Usyk's resume...

    Kabayel, Wardley, Itauma, etc all far more deserving than Wilder

    "he conquered the whole division"

    I'm okay with Usyk fighting Wilder>Wardley but this is blatantly false. Hes beaten 3 people since 2020. 4 since 2019. Lets not get it twisted Usyk is at a public park swimming in the pond. Lets not pretend otherwise.

    This is the problem with Usyk fans you guys are making up things and claiming Usyk has done things he very clearly hasn't done.

    Some might be better but I don't think the history books will remember them as being such
