    Usyk has already been ordered to fight Kabayel next as part of the exemption to fight Rico,hopefully not another vacated belt !

    Fury and Usyk were past it both times Usyk wins again, difference in age is negligible as proven twice

    I feel like Usyk is always playing mind games with people and throwing out red herrings. Deep down he is a warrior and I believe he will retire after fighting the best.

    Usyk has took the hard routes and has become undisputed CW and HW champion of the World.....He's entitled to take what fights he wants, although that doesn't come at the expense of holding other belts hostage, although I don't believe he is doing that.

    I kind of get why he wants Wilder's name on his resume, but it's a bit pointless, because he's already beaten 3 HWs with better victories, in Fury, Joshua and Dubois. Wilder hasn't earnt a Usyk fight imo. After holding the WBC belt hostage for all those years, Wilder doesn't deserve the big fights.

    Dubois has better top wins than Wilder, lol. Talking about overrated. Still, the point stands - Fury's performance in the Wilder III fight was worse than in Wilder II. Usyk improved in the rematch.

    Wilder didn't quit in his fights, Dubios did. Not sure how much of that you can put to Usyk's performance improvement, as I'd argue he was more fluid and agile in the first fight.

    And if you're gonna compare achievements Wilder has actually held a title for more than one fight lol.

    Dubois quit in the first one, he was outgunned in the second. If he continued he would be knocked out cold anyway.

    Yeah, he held the title mostly fighting bums. Dubois has better wins even without holding the title that long. And if Wilder faced Usyk in his second defense, he wouldn't be holding the title no more. Well, he might have not gotten through AJ if he faced him in his first defence, haha.

    Dubios absolutely quit in the second one. He got up and walked to the to corner the moment the ref waved off the fight.

    Hard routes ! Maybe as a Cruiserweight he did but at Heavyweight that’s not the case at all. Usyk being the WBO Cruiserweight Champion as soon as he had a Heavyweight fight according to the WBO rules he was immediately installed as mandatory to Joshua hence why Usyk in only his third fight at Heavyweight was fighting Joshua the unified Champion for 3 of the World belts. In stark contrast Usyk as WBO Champion got a 90 day delay (injury cited) for the Parker fight when Parker was WBO mandatory. So Parker then took on Wardley in a stay busy fight for the WBO interim Title with Wardley stopping Parker in 11 rounds,Usyk then vacated the belt elevating Wardley to full WBO Champion .

    It doesn't change the fact that if he wouldn't quit, he would be knocked out cold, so Usyk's performance would be seen as even better.

    Dubois' best win is Anthony Joshua.

    Chisora's best win is Derrick Chisora.

    That is all. Not going to do the back and forth. That is the truth as it stands.

    Unifying and fighting contractual rematches against two guys several inches taller and tens of pounds heavier isn't a hard route?
