    I’d still like to see Dubois get in a few defenses to keep improving. No need to rush back into an Usyk fight.

    Father time will beat Usyk now

    His story has been completed pending Fury rematch where Fury will level the score.

    He will retire in December with Fury.

    Dubois already knocked Usyk out, in my pompous opinion.

    It was a low blow. Body punches take a few seconds to take a fighter down. Usyk went down immediately. Remember how Dubois didn't pounce on Usyk for the rest of the round and proceeded to be knocked out by a jab?

    I don’t understand what gives the handful of people I’ve seen around here saying Fury could beat Usyk this level of confidence. If anything, I think Usyk will beat him even more decisively. Fury was at his lightest in five years, trained some six months and landed his best shot, the uppercut several times cleanly on Usyk’s body and head yet he was thoroughly beat. I didn’t see anything from Fury that indicated he could do a better job in December.

    Dubois for me is the very clear choice for the winner of Usyk v Fury.if it's Fury it's a British unification, if it's Usyk you can argue there's unfinished business.

    Win win.

    The rest of the current top Heavyweights are in the 'very good' tier. Usyk is the only one in 'elite' tier as a current P4P fighter. The one to actually beat Usyk will be Father Time.

    Nobody is beating Usyk.

    And for another things, Usyk has said he is only interested on Fury and Joshua, so, if he holds to it, he's probably hanging them up after December.
