    OK. Let's take a look:

    Ajagba - couldn't beat Frank Sanchez
    Sanchez - Couldn't beat Kabayel
    Ortiz - Couldn't beat Father Time or lazy Andy
    Kabayel - would be a good fight, but I haven't seen anything in Kabayel that makes me think he beats Usyk
    Parker - Couldn't handle Usyk's pressure (see Joyce fight)
    Ruiz - Would gas out before the 3rd round
    Zhang - Wouldn't touch him for 6 rounds and would be gassed by then
    Hrgovic - Decent skills but not enough power to back Usyk off
    Anderson - Usyk should charge him for the lesson
    Demerizen - nah
    Makhmadov - it would look like a caveman chasing a literal rabbit
    Pulev - come on, man
    Whyte - get serious

    So of the entire list you put up, I'm seeing Kabayel and maybe Hrgovic giving him the slightest bit of trouble. The rest would get embarrassed. The only one I hesitate on is Zhang because if he touches him he could hurt him, but Usyk isn't going to sit still long enough for Zhang to tee off.

    Bakole is a good HW but is not at the level of the Undisputed Champ.

    Usyk's IQ ring > Fury's > Bakole's

    Gotcha. So he just runs through the whole top 20 ?

    Yeah right…. Again , we will never know because he has only fought two decent heavys!

    Everyone else I named has fought each other, funny that.
