    1. AJ: No chance. He's fighting Pringle for a reason.
    2. Itauma: Maybe. Need to see how he fares against Hrgovic first.
    3. Dubois: Is massively overrated, Rico makes him quit.
    4. Ajabga: lol who?
    5. Zhang: Too old, slow, doesn't have a gas tank.

    AJ, who else. They could even pay him to wait. Safe, big opportunity, again. The others (except Fury), getting the rub will be wasted.

    AJ as before; cleaned up Fury's mess with Wlad (retirement) and Ngannou (no comment). Time for AJ to clean up Usyk's mess too.

    You're right, but I don't (still) see YouTubers as real boxers. I think AJ could have done it earlier in that fight, like in the case of Ngannou (AJ motivated by Fury; again), but money is more important on youtube than sports moment.
    Exactly. AJ also cleaned up Tyson's mess; I forgot.

    What mess did Fury leave with Wlad? Wlad lost every round lol.

    AJ of today gets pasted by the version of Rico we just saw.

    Pension.
    Wlad didn't retire and Fury did; absurd.
    I'm not disputing at all that Fury won that fight.

    Retiring after giving an opponent an absolute schooling isn't leaving a mess behind imo.
    based on what? It took him 6 rounds to get rid of a YouTuber, he got sparked by Dubios in 5 and he's taking on a tune up against a guy nobody heard of before because his team thought a past it Wilder was "too risky".

    There isn't a mess to clean up he won the fight via stoppage and even though it was a controversial stoppage the controversy of Rico being given 29 seconds to recover after hitting the canvas and the ref waving them back on cancels that out because he was 100% getting knocked out had he not even been given near as long as that.

    He was still badly hurt after 29 seconds or recovery time and unable to defend himself as soon as Usyk jumped on him when the action resumed

    Usyk has been robbed of 2 HL reel KOs of giants by the refs in his last 4 fights and neither of them would've survived had they not been given all that time to recover because the were in terrible trouble and completely defenceless and he was unloading with everything and landing with almost all of it

    No problem with him giving Rico a rematch but these refs are making a habit of robbing him of HL reel conclusive KOs over giants who dwarf him

    If the ref had give Usyk 29 seconds to recover after being badly hurt and dropped by Rico and on the verge of a KO loss the outrage would be deafening and, as said, it's happened x 2 in his last 4 fights

    If Usyk feels he needs to silence the doubters and put an end to the controversy re. the stoppage he can but how much credit did he receive from these same clowns for doing exactly that to Dubois in the rematch after the slander about Dubois being ''robbed'' of victory?

    And he even did so in Dubois' backyard on a deck stacked against him and many of theses same clowns actually criticized him for giving Dubois a rematch and hammering a nail into the coffin of that controversy

    Tell that to Daniel Dubis, Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. The fans on here get dumber with every passing fight.
