    Tyson Fury vs Usyk would turn out better than watching Fury vs Wilder again and again. Fury vs Wilder seems to spell out the definition of insanity, the ending is always going to be the same even though many are hoping for a different outcome, it is not going to happen even though Wilder fought one good heavyweight in the interim. Those two are holding up progress in the Heavyweight division, I say fight Usyk, then Anthony Joshua, then lastly go thru the top ten, clean out the division but please no more reruns. The deserving challengers will be in rest homes before they get a deserving title shot if that rerun happens over and over. Boring.

    Not sure where it takes place ... but there's going to be some stadiums in Qatar sitting around doing nothing soon.

    Would rather see it happen in Asia, but that's not all that likely. UK would be best.

    Fury only stands a chance because of his size, P4P Usyk is far more skilled however Usyk is going to look human against everyone he fights at Heavyweight. Just like Tyson did. It's tough to always fight bigger guys. Tyson was only 5'10.

    Certainly the greatest HW fight of the 21st century; above TKO6, and below FOTC. A place in the history of that fight is guaranteed by the undisputed champion after about a quarter of a century.

    Yes whats so funny ? Thats a rough estimate, i'm not sure where i'd rate him exactly. He could be within top 30, theres so many different criteria's and so many fighters over different generations.

    Biggest and most hyped fight since Joshua v Usyk 2.

    Used to be fights like that every year.. or at least every other year. Not today, these days, though.

    Joshua
    Usyk
    Fury
    Joyce
    Wilder

    That's top-5. There should be a mix and match of that every ****ing year. I mean next. But it won't happen. How bout Usyk-Wilder. How bout Fury-Usyk

    Fury Vs Usyk is a purists wet dream

    or an Eddie Hearn nightmare

    Too many chances for Deontay Wilder, Joe Joyce next?

    Where numerically in a list of ranked fights is hard to say, but what it will do is reset the Heavyweight division in the present era, make one champion that most will view as such.

    Certainly it is the fight most fans wish to see while both fighters are fit and healthy.

    Would it supercede many past milestones in our sports history, possibly not, but who knows, history is only recognised after the event.

    GOAT status

    Don't pay any attention to the dinosaur worshiping black and white era Americentric boxing nostalgists the winner of this fight will be the GOAT and that is set in stone

    Biggest HW fight of the millenium. And if Usyk wins, he’s the #3 p4p fighter of the millenium right behind certain two goons who are busy putting on freakshows these days.

    It will because the IBF will not have a titlest crowned yet. For a brief period of time, there will be no other claimant to the title. That is undisputed.
