    does anyone think the biggest threats to wilder and Joshua is gonna come from the cruiserweightsh.if tony Bellew can step up and beat David haye (which he was doing before the injury) then I'm sure if usyk was to move up further down the line this guy would level everyone of these heavyweights.

    Bellew would die, just stop.

    Usyk can outbox both of them though.

    Fury if in 2015 shape. Hrgovic would be my longer term pick, 2019 likely.

    To early to tell about any of
    the cruiserweight, but there' a few threats to both in the Heavyweight division right now, like a Joseph Parker, big baby Miller, Browne, whyte, Povetkin(if he can pass the drug tests) ect...

    He is only one of two people to drop and hurt Wilder in a pro fight.
    I have no doubt he could slay Joshua too

    The obvious ones are Parker and Fury.

    I reckon Dubois and Sirenko are good shouts, but it’s very early days.

    Hrgovic, Dycho and Usyk are coming. I don't think these three will need a lot of lead in time before challenging for belts. Looking forward to it.

    Perhaps the likes of Joshua should be making the most of their window at the top to make their winnable big fights now. Using up years with inactivity or filler fights would only be a good game-plan if a Wlad like period of dominance is on the horizon. I'm pretty sure Wilder and Parker don't have years of defenses in them, and Joshua is a maybe yes/maybe no case to get past the three mentioned above.

    PS: Would be interested in any comments on Dycho and his adaptation to pro ranks.
