Gave Whyte a close fight, survived AJ for 12 rounds, i'd say he's Chisora tier
The 5'11 would-be-Cruiserweight Frazier? Usyk has a good KO ratio at Cruiser, and almost got rid of 2 reigning SHW champs.
Frazier overrated by oldheads, Usyk by decapitation
Work and effort wouldn't be fighting a contender for a vacant. Fight a champ for a real belt
Hopefully he won't stand on Usyk's feet this time so he can get properly KO'd
See you next big fight drama queen lmao
Let him keep the belt, he LITERALLY JUST earned it, you should have to fight a champion for a belt, not a vacant belt fight with another top 10'er...
Wasn't the mandatory for IBF Hrgovic who had a fight lined up for himself already anyway? It's just politics, more champs = more sellable fights...
Tucker was 48-1 going into the Lewis fight, he'd be remembered a lot stronger if he retired after that L. He reached 52-2 before it fell apart
Usyk has to be a lock for top 10-15 HW of all time if he wins rematch, beats a couple more contenders and sails off undefeated
Wilder is used goods and will probably get Zhang'ed™ next month
He's also 37 and this was never meant to be his weight class in the first place. You realise heavyweight was his victory lap. Not his full legacy
I think it's fair to say he fought a pretty prime Fury performance, 7-5 to Usyk though
This is a really interesting idea, and that comment about possibly going back to Cruiser gives it some potential to actually happen. It sounds...
I'm the biggest Usyk fanboy - I had Usyk winning by 2 points
