    No problem with it, although I'd prefer to see The Real Big Baby vs. The Fake Big Baby first.

    Man to be honest I think Usyk vs Hrgovic is the fight they’ll make IF Fury doesn’t step up.

    Might sound crazy but the guy that would be the most dangerous for Usyk is Big Zhang. Has SHARP left handed power. Hits harder than Dubois and Joshua imo and is more clever with his counters. Bigger too. Not saying I wouldn’t expect Usyk to completely out box him! But there is a real danger in that one. I could be wrong though.

    LOL Oh please stop with the trolling. Anderson has beaten no one but tomato cans and a short notice Martin who came for the check. He’s far from deserving of a title shot.

    VP against Dubois would be a much better prospect, though given the way VP struggled against Martin I wouldn't want to bet on anything.

    As for Usyk, not remotely ready and never will be.

    Well sure, if Usyk randomly decides to stand in one place with a basic high guard and let VP tee off on him without firing back.

    Does Anderson beat Fury as well? Punches to the face seem like his weakness.

    Exactly this. It was bad enough Dubois was forced upon us all, I have no interest in watching another guy who has no business fighting for a title until he actually beats a top 15 guy.

    Who deserves a shot at Usyk:
    Tier 1: Fury
    Tier 2: Zhang vJoyce (Winner), Hrgovic, Ruiz Jr.,
    Tier 3: Joshua, Wilder, Bakole, Sanchez
    Tier 4: Ajagba, Anderson, Makhmudov, Parker, Ortiz, Whyte

    Tier 3 on a voluntary, but not Tier 4. Leave the clown shows to Fury.

    They would be mad to. Anderson has time on his side and doesn't need to be rushed into anything as dumb as that.

    Wilder as tier 3? Yet he’d kill everyone in tier 2? Lol

    Here's a novel idea. Maybe he should fight one of them...

    Getting stopped in two of your last three, your last win being against Helenius, and staying inactive for nearly a year, doesn't scream title shot.

    lol

    Lord have mercy Anderson would get picked apart by Usyk. Would be 120-108 on all three judges scorecards.

    I like and rate Anderson but he isn't ready for Usyk to be honest.

    I agree entirely with your point that Wilder shouldn't be tier 3, he is actually quite dangerous to Usyk due to his power, dimensions, and the weird style might actually help against Usyk ....

    Not sure he'd destroy all of Hrgovic, Zhang and Ruiz Jr though. I'm confident he'd beat Ruiz Jr but Hrgovic and Zhang both have reasonable chances. Hrgovic has power, youth and a pretty good chin and Zhang is very dangerous for anyone in the first 4 rounds and again has a great chin so unlikely to be sparked early.
