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

    They fought in the WSB and Usyk seriously schooled him; it would probably be a worse schooling in the professional ranks.

    Nobody in the current heavyweight rankings can match Usyk in skill. But, he is 37 years old, and, it is Heavyweight, so, upsets are always a possibility.

    Usyk gave up 3 rounds to Chisora because he knew Chisora would gas himself out and be easy pickings after that and boy did Usyk beat the crap out of him in the second half of that fight.

    None of the heavyweight options are all that appealing. Much of the division is either old or inactive and in search of new blood. Hrgovic is about the only one who is young enough and tested enough to warrant a shot.

    How about this proposal: Opetaia jumps up and takes a crack at it.

    If Fury can't beat him, no one in the division is going to beat him. Only age would defeat him.

    It would take a well conditioned in-fighter that could relentlessly attack the body for 12 rounds. There's nobody like that in the division right now.

    Hrgovic could create problems for Usyk, I won't say with certainty that he would win, but he could threaten him more seriously...

    I want see Joshua vs Fury for silver medal of this Era.
    Hope Tyson go that way because for me reematch with Usyk is not neccesary.

    Usyk? He should take long vacation now and fight with winner of Hrgovic vs Dubois with IBF.
    Later he should think about retire but he can for good bye beat WBC Bridger category champion- just for simbolic next category.
    And then he should retire.
    He should not fight much longer because he already done anything in boxing and he got big chance to end this journey on his own way,- without loss at right time.
    Not many finish carrer in this way.

    But if Tyson want try again he must be ready for next hard fight.

    Usyk is slowing down, so Joshua would probably have a decent chance.
