    At his age dropping 20 lbs might hurt him

    He's beat the guy twice he has nothing left to prove against AJ. The big paycheck would be just to get him motivated enough to fight him.

    Canelo on the other hand is a cherry picking diva, famous for ducking his challenges in the last few years.

    There is no need or demand for a 3rd fight. This is Usyk saying move on or make it worth my time.

    Pretty much this.
    Usyk has proved himself the better fighter on two occasions. I really don't understand these rematches in non-controversial fights. It has to stop.
    Usyk won fairly comfortably the first time... no need for a return. AJ, as much as I like him, didn't deserve a second shot, let alone a third. He would have to do a lot, having lost twice already.
    No thank you to a trilogy fight. And no thank you even to a Fury rematch. I'd much rather keep the division moving

    There clearly is a route to that fight if AJ wins the IBF title.

    Usyk is the guy no doubt about that but don't get it twisted, the money man of the division is still Anthony Joshua.

    He won't really be dropping 20 pounds. He has said that he has to eat all of the time to stay at 220-221, so it won't be hard for him to get down to a walking around weight of 210, which he can boil off before rehydration.

    If they make Bridgerweight a real title, he should go snag the belts there.

    Usyk doesn’t need to face Joshua again after dominating him in the first two fights. I suppose asking for 200 million makes the hat point.

    I would love to see this. After unifying agains Okolie and Gazgimenomedov, he can have the discussed fight with Badou Jack and then, maybe, get Wilder down there to crush a couple of bridger cans and fight Usyk. I think there is still some historic symbolism in having victories over Joshua, Fury, and Wilder.

    This will be the same result as the first two fights.
