    Too obvious, Usyk victory by a mile.
    But until the opposite is proven inside
    the ring, Fury is the #1 HW, also by far.

    Usyk is a Cruiserweight who people thought didn't look spectacular in his last few performances. Some were also building Joshua back up as a Top 3 HW, or even calling him the best just based on his list of wins. Because of that, I'd say for him to handle Joshua without too much difficulty was pretty impressive. He also had less trouble with him than Fury did with Wilder in their third fight.
    Fury was expected to beat Wilder and is bigger than him, the third fight wasn't necessary. That doesn't mean I think Usyk beats Fury, of course. I think Fury wasn't exactly in peak form in this fight like he was against Klitschko or Wilder in the second fight. So, Usyk probably beats *this* version of Fury, but I would hope he would turn up in better form with more preparation for Usyk.

    Usyk win against a better quality opponent than who Fury beat for the third time.

    Usyk over Joshua by far.

    Joshua is much better than Wilder and has the resume to prove it. If they ever fight I fully expect AJ to finish Wilder off in emphatic fashion. Usyk fought a better fight against a much better opponent.
