Poll: Who should Usyk fight next: Parker, Kabayel or Dubois?

Fair take.

I think Uysk is still going to win his last 2 fights anyway. I think even at his age it will take quite a effort to stop him.

 

I'm surprised most of you guys have him as the Goat, but it's your opinions. Maybe he is better than Ali, Duran, Leonard, pacquiao etc with his insane resume of ranked wins

 

People overrating Usyk is just going to make the next dominant champ even greater. Imagine if someone like Usyk dominated heavyweight his whole career? That would be an even bigger feat and it is going to happen soon

 

Imo yes, but it appears this forum believes he really is greater than Ali, who cleared his division in 2 seperate decades, while being robbed of his best years

Opinions vary

He's very good of course, but not the best I've seen.

 

That means another 10 year plus heavyweight champ.

 

I would like it to be Kabayel just because it will be someone else for a change then the usual Joshua, Usyk, Fury, Wilder, Dubois clique. Half of these guys are on their way out already anyways.

Also it happens a lot: A fighter works himself into that Top 3 - 7 position and then his career stalls out and he never gets a title shot. And they spend their best years on the shelf.

Whyte, Joyce, Zhang, are all examples of fighters who reasonably should have had a title shot or way earlier then they did. I don’t want Kabayel to end up like them.

I like Parker and he deserves a title shot as well. But he has been Champion already. I am not hating it if it would be him who fights for the title though.

 

He should first fight Dubois to unite the titles once more and then fight Parker and Kabayel.

 

It's a combination of recency bias (which has a little merit, truth told) and unbeaten bias, I think.

We all know fighters get overrated when they're unbeaten, sometimes to a ridiculous extent.

Usyks excellent, well into the upper reaches of history... So is Ali, but the losses make him human in a way that Usyk can evade by not having been beaten (yet, and he might well retire that way).

On recency, though... It's definitely true that sports science is much better these days, and that longer gaps between fights should (theoretically) mean that fully dedicated fighters like Usyk who live the life are able to perform at a level that past greats couldn't - the question is: does that make the modern fighters better?

Or, for example, let's assume Usyk beats Ali H2H (and he might well do) - does that necessarily make him greater?
I don't know...

 

Agit must be a hater, why is Usyk only the greatest of the last 25 years? Is he trying to sat Lewis and others may be better? That is obviously blasphemy if he doesn't declare Usyk as the GOAT

 

I'd like to see him vs Parker. Interesting matchup and Parker is deserving of that fight.

It depends how long he sticks around for. I'd love to see him vs Parker, Dubois rematch, and his 3rd and final fight against Kabayel.

 

Usyk will do anything in his power to avoid fighting Kayabel.

You people will say but Usyk is a ATG heavyweight. Yeah because beating Chazz Witherspoon, barely beating a fade Chloe years after David Haye destroyed him, beating the overrated mentally damaged Joshua after Andy Ruiz beat him stupid, beating Dubois after Joyce broke his eye socket and Kevin Lerena almost knocked him out, and the beat a drugged out Fury who is so bad he almost got beat Francis Ngganou a MMA fighter with 0 pro bouts. Also the only thing Fury had done was barely beat a 40 year old Wlad Klitscko 10 years ago.

There is no fan base more delusional or bias than Uysk fans.
