    These are the top ten undefeated heavyweights as ranked by BoxRec:

    Oleksandr Usyk
    Agit Kabayel
    Artem Suslenkov
    Nelson Hysa
    Bakhodir Jalolov

    Gurgen Hovhannisyan
    Labinot Xhoxhaj
    Vartan Arutyunyan
    Umut Camkiran
    Teremoana Teremoana

    Usyk should retire undefeated.

    Kabayel if he fights Hrgovic might lose, but may fight someone else and then remain inactive for another year.

    Suslenkov and Arutyunyan are talented but too small to defeat some of the better large heavyweights.

    Age will defeat Hysa sooner or later, or if he fights Kabayel.

    Jalolov will likely remain inactive until they age him out, so still should be undefeated in a year or so.

    I expect Teremoana to continue to fight soft opposition for at least another year.

    Camkiran will be an "opponent" for a top heavyweight sooner of later, as will Xhoxhaj, and each will receive his first loss.

    Hovhannisyan seems strong and durable. He would probably lose against the top heavyweights but may not be able to get a fight with one of them.

    Teremoana Teremoana because he probably won’t fight anyone that can beat him.

    Hovhannisyan vs Teremoana would be good...

    Yes. But sadly Teremoana is very protected by Hearn for some reason.

    I got Usyk, Teremoana and Jalalov. I think Kabayel will get beaten quite soon obviously depends on the opponent. Suslenkov doesn't appear special so if he steps up he could lose. I don't really know the others.

    Yes, I think Kabayel would lose to several top heavyweights such as Hrgovic, he didn't look good against Kynba and was gifted an early stoppage by the referee.

    I like Suslenkov, he's a very good fighter. But he's too small at 6'1" (2" shorter and has shorter arms than Usyk) for the modern heavyweight division. He should be fighting at cruiserweight.

    Hrgovic should still be undefeated with a DQ win over dirty D.

    There's a high chance they all have it. Maybe 1 or 2 go down.

    Usyks only fighting 40 somethings from this point on. He's not going to lose.

    True. With an honest referee, Dubois would have been disqualified for his multiple illegal head butts.
    Usyk will very soon be 40-something himself. Yes, he'll easily beat anybody his own age.

    Jalolov will fight again professionally in 2034. Until then, he will remain undefeated.

    Agreed, Hrgovic would beat him.
