If Usyk doesn't fight Fury again is there any other Heavyweight that could give Usyk problems ?

    I think Zhang is too much of a plodder, Wilder is probably past it and too one dimensional and limited, Usyk's already beaten Joshua twice, Joyce is too slow and lumbering.

    Realistically probably only Hrgovic or Parker could test Usyk but i don't see them having that much success honestly.......

    Bakhodir Jalolov, but he's too focused on the amateurs. It's, Hrgovic, and only Hrgovic. Outside of that Usyk should just retire. Parker has no chance

    Anyone who can move and punch, will give problems to Usyk, but the question is, will they have enough stamina to keep up with him ?

    I want to see Kabayel vs Usyk, if there will be no rematch, but I think Usyk will vacate most of the belts, other boxers deserva a tittle shot for many years.

    Be difficult to out box Usyk, you have to overpower him

    If Fury wants the rematch and Usyk, then Usyk needs to fight him again

    Of course if Fury pulls out,or delays again, then that's different

    If Fury won,he would be expected to honour the rematch. Fury is apparently useless anyway, so I see know reason why usyk couldn't have an easy defence and make even more dough as a bonus

    Also I do think Aj gives usyk problems if they fight again.

    I think if Opetia(Spelling) moves up he might be a problem for Usyk. As of right now, age is the big issue. It could catch up to him in the blink of an eye.

    Kabayel would pose stylistic problems for Usyk, although he's not the quickest. But his ring cutting, pressure and body punching would make it an interesting matchup.

    Usyk outboxes Parker 10/10

    Either Hrgovic, Parker, or Kabayel makes the most sense. Personally I think Anthony Joshua is better than those 3 but he already lost to Usyk twice so he's out of the question.

    The great heavyweight father time is undefeated.

    If he decides to fight on, Usyk will be 38 before his next fight.

    His career is coming to an end.

    If he decides to fight on, he is going to be very selective who he fights next.

    If Joyce wasn't the slowest human alive with 0 head movement, I would say him. He actually could give Usyk trouble with his chin (if not cracked) and work rate / stamina. Well past his prime Chisora gave Usyk fits. But Chisora is not a snail and can actually bob and weave.
