    Usyk is busy fighting for his country and will most likely retire due to his age or an unfortunate happing in the war.

    Hrgovic fights for the IBF eliminator and should win, If Usyk is unavailable he's the new champion.

    Fury says he is retiring and I'm not sold he beats Whyte. If Whyte wins he's the WBC champion. If he losses and Fury does retire, who fights for the WBC title?

    Wilder? He's done.

    Marketing demands the Joshua and Joyce are in the mix. Keep your eye on what Jalolov does though he's probably at least a year away.

    Do you think Wilder would regain his confidence on fighting for the Belts if Fury retired? I could see him easily knocking out the likes Andy Ruiz, Joseph Parker, Anthony Joshua and Possibly winning against Usyk if it doesn't go the distance due to his size.

    No.
    Wilder was risk averse when active......... and he would lose worse to Usyk and Joshua.

    Still hoping that his country gets sensible and asks Usyk to fight in the ring. What could be better PR for Ukraine?

    No alt account, do you disagree that Deontay Wilder could knockout any of the boxers I mentioned? I mean sure it is a stretch to state he beats all of them but it is achievable compared to fighting Fury.

    Unless Fury loses to Whyte (which isn't likely) he won't retire. He likes the limelight.
    And a Usyk and/or Joshua fight is a lot of loot.
    Wilder may be done. He would have to come back at the top level. I don't think he ever was top level.
    But on any given day, that right hand could do the job.

    I think the best heavyweight is Frank Sanchez, he has a very high chance of being the undisputed heavyweight champion. He is fast and has good movement, with decent power. He can beat any heavyweights in top 10, except for Fury and Usyk.

    I don't see Wilder beating Ruiz Jr. Ruiz has granite chin and too fast.
    Hrgovic and Joyce also lose to Ruiz Jr.

    My ordered top 3 list:

    1- Frank Sanchez
    2- Andy Ruiz Jr
    3- Filip Hrgovic or Joe Joyce

    Let’s hope Usyk will return soon, but if he doesn't then I expect a changing of the guard sooner rather than later.

    I'm pretty high on Sanchez as well. He isn't the most exciting guy but he is fundamentally sound and has an element of speed that is rare these days at heavyweight. I need to see more of him against high level competition but he looks like he has the skillset to make some serious noise in a couple of years.

    Jalolov is another fighter to keep and eye on.

    Can't see anybody stripping Usyk anytime soon.

    Wow, Are you Frank Sanchez's promoter? He has beaten good quality for his first 20 fights but can't punch and Cubans are known for not being tough and chinny.

    Ruiz jr turned Hrgovic down and an IBF eliminator shot. I agree though, Ruiz would beat Wilder.

    @red corner Sanchez is a heavier version of Usyk, with a little less movement. He doesn't have to be that chinny if he moves better than his opponents. I like how he beat Ajagba. Let's see what happens.
