    If this fight actually happens it will be one of the strongest eliminators we've had in long time.

    Dubois vs Hrgovic was a better eliminator. Sanchez is a gatekeeper at best, not even Chisora level, Dubois should win this easy.

    That was an interim title fight. Part of why is because Hrgovic refused to fight with no hardware on the line.

    I mean a true eliminator. Nothing on the line.

    Sanchez is better than Chisora come on man.

    Chisora has a better resume. Sanchez is too unproven and got destroyed by Kabayel. Dubois should run through him

    Nobody wants to see it, and he doesn't deserve it after the last effort.

    What would it do to Usyk's long term legacy if Sanchez wrecks Dubois and Usyk doesn't fight another contender like Parker or Kabayel?

    In what universe is a trilogy with Dubious justified?

    In a dubious universe.

    I think it will down the stretch, it discredits his third best win by quite a lot and then also lends credence that he "ducked" Kabayel, not that I think that's true, but in 10, 20 years the way people see him will have shifted.

    Usyk is undoubtedly the best heavyweight of his era. So i think his legacy is secure regardless of who he fights.

    That being said, it will be highly disappointing if he doesn't fight Parker or Kabayel.

    That could potentially be called into doubt if he doesn't have a few more varied fights. His resume isn't exactly aging well

    Chisoras proven to win like 25% of the time at the top level.
