    ANTHONY JOSHUA, DEONTAY WILDER, TYSON FURY.

    How long will it be until OLEKSANDR USYK. the Undisputed Cruiserweight Champion is widely accepted as part of this group at Heavyweight? Can he do it after his first fight in the division?

    He has lot to prove at heavy. But I hope he gets moved fast. 1-2 fights and then a top guy. He will not have it easy- recent history shows that Eastern Europeans do not get a fair shake from the judges. They probably don’t bring enough money to the table and I don’t think Usyk has the power to really hurt these guys. He’ll have to win 12-0 to get a SD win.

    If he were to convincingly beat someone like Dillian Whyte or Big Baby Miller, a consensus top 8 HW who is notably larger than him, I think based on his level of success at CW it would be fair to expand it to the "Big 4".

    Nah, he won't be. He's smaller, but if he was a lot faster, then yeah I would say he'll have a chance, but he's not. I think he'll get destroyed by the top three. He'll probably lose to the likes of Whyte as well. You got more chance of Dillian Whyte entering the big three than Uysk

    USYK or HRGOVIC will round off the BIG FOUR by the end of the year hopefully. Early 2020 MAX.

    Big 5 will be

    Joshua
    Fury
    Wilder
    Joyce
    Hrgovic

    Usyk could be a spoiler but he is fighting AJ around the corner ,the others above will have advanced records and be undefeated in a minute I think.

    Joshua will fight at least 2 on here and Fury and wilder wont fight AJ. lol

    After Usyk is ready it's the big 1 and the 3 or 4 beneath.

    I guess Usyk will take the WBO mandatory slot and face AJ sometime next year. A good fight, but I think I'm more intrigued by how he would fight Fury.
