    Dillian Whyte is the next
    Logical step

    apparently he has no chance according to some forum goers so lets do it like nike

    I’d love to see him take on in order

    1. Joshua (should he get his belts back)
    2. Fury (was his last outing a one off or is he fading)
    3. Wilder (one punch could end his night)
    A lot seems to be made on this forum from one bad performance. Countless Fury is shot threads after his last fight, GGG is shot after his last fight, Usyk isn’t a HW cause he didn’t destroy his first HW opponent. I’d like to see Usyk fight a non belt holder one more time and see if he could put those thoughts to rest.

    How did Whyte's PED use get swept under the carpet.

    I thought Usyk would fight winner of AJ and Ruiz. Winning that would give Bum Squad the chance to put his money where his mouth is. Finally Tyson Fury for undisputed.

    No way in hell does Povetkin beat Hunter, a rematch with Usyk at HW is a tasty proposition though

    It is and whilst Povetkin has seen better days and I’d slightly favour Hunter, I wouldn’t write Povetkin off.

    The highly touted Usyk should take out the garbage in no particular order:
    -Whyte
    -Parker
    -Ruiz
    -Fury
    -Hunter
    -Potvekin
    -Chisora
    -Miller
    -Bakole
    -Breazele
    -Rivas
    -Joshua
    -Witherspoon
    -Kownacki

    And a few other stray dogs here and there.
    That way he leaves no questions unanswered about his heavyweight greatness. Somone with the legendary skillset of Usyk should accomplish this without much problems.

    Now can you imagine Wilder running from 100 mill

    Idk man, Hunter has got a very good workrate and engine, Povetkin was fighting at a very slow pace vs Fury and was still gassed out by round 8-9. He would need a special performance to beat Hunter at this age

    You expected him to roll right back over there so they could rob him blind again? And some say gypsies aren't the sharpest tools in the draw? (not to my face they wouldn't) :lol:

    He signed a deal with Top Rank and ESPN for £80 mill IIRC which should reduce the chances of getting robbed again against Bum Squad. But the rematch would've happened already had Bum Squad not been too much of a female dog to travel over to Fury's turf for it like Fury was man enough to travel over to his when he was only 40% and Bum Squad was 100%.

    AJ the A-Side, the star, the draw, the three-belt world champion, who sold like 380,000 tickets (IIRC) for 4 fights turning down $50 mill = duck

    One title B-Side Bum Squad who only sold like a combined 60,00o tickets for 5 fights (IIRC) and who nobody outside of Tuscaloosa knew until Tyson Fury's shot ghost dragged him from obscurity turning down $100 mill = no duck

    :risas3:
