In the next 3 or 4 years who will be the unified heavyweight champion?

AJ barring a lucky shot.

 

Would be weird if Vitali comes out of retirement and easily knocks each of these candidates in the order posted and then nonchalantly retires again.

 

Either Usyk or Teslenko. Bump this in 4 years.

 

Usyk starves himself to death to outpoint cruiserweights. He'd get destroyed by a modern heavy.

 

USYK has already beaten superheavies in the amateurs and WSB.

Joshua will get beaten by a younger fighter, he beat a 41 year old man coming off a long lay off, and almost got knocked out. Imagine Kovalev almost getting knocked out by old Hopkins or Roy Jones Junior.

 

There will be no unified champion

 

nah I don't think there will be a unified champ. 2 many fighters coming up they will all give each other losses I think.

 

Tony Yoka...maybe more like 5 years though.

 

Yoka did not impress me at the olympics, but then again neither did Joshua.

 

so far it is looking like joshua.

 

Sorry if I don't think highly of beating Joseph Joyce and company. Hell, I think Gassiev might give him a run for his money at cruiser despite still being green.

 

Wilder or Joshua. Doubt Usyk moves up to HW and he's been a disappointment to me. I see Joshua and Wilder bodybagging him. If Hughie beats Parker, and shows some Tyson in him, it's possible 5-7 years from now he's the unified champion.

 

Yeah, I'm just going more by potential. I don't necessarily think he'll be the champ, but just throwing it out there as a possibility.

 

Honestly with the state of the governing bodies, I would not be at all surprised to see a failure to unify for any of the hw's. Winning the belts means more mandatory madness.

I doubt Joshua will achieve it, if he goes after Wilder I bet he gets stripped of one of his existing belts.
