Rico Verhoeven vs Oleksandr Usyk official for WBC Heavyweight Championship — May 23 in Egypt (DAZN)

Well yes, because his career hasn't finished yet. I didn't say his victories would be undone.

 

They've got a date, venue and a condition that if Hrgovic doesn't lose, it'll happen. Frank Warren appears to be backing it too, It's about as close to official as you can get at this stage.

 

But what he has already accomplished guarantees his spot in the pantheon.

 

Again, I didn't say he doesn't have a spot in history. Not sure why you're slipping in points that weren't relevant to my post. He's automatically up there by default purely for being the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis.

But his career isn't over yet, and there's still improvements he could still make to be even greater still. I'd like to see it happen.

 

I'd still like to see him fight Parker! Right after Kabayel.

 

The thing is, I think for Usyk it could even out. He has enough left and enough options that if he loses one, he may say to hell with it and hang around until he is 45 getting mostly victories. If he finishes 32-1, but those victories are all first class names, has he really lost that much?

 

2% chance imo.....

 

I like his confidence and he doesn't seem like a bad guy.

I don't think he has a chance vs Usyk.

But if you're top level professional you have to believe you will beat anyone.

If you don't have that self belief then you're in the wrong profession.

 

Just not excited for this at all. It's a show, not a fight.
