    I think Fury would beat him, I just think it would be an outstanding fight. Both guys are elite.

    Wilder would knock himself out. Usyk’s movement would have him in fits. He would just collapse to the floor and be counted out.

    Who cares about it being this massive mega thing? These top guys should all face each other, and it would still be great.

    Usyk is better than Joshua, and could prove to be better than Fury. Let's see how things pan out.

    He is better Fury. It’s just that Fury is 7ft tall ffs.

    I don’t think anyone would buy a rematch.

    If it’s at Wembley or something people would still go just for the experience and the night out. But it’s not selling any PPVs because big Josh didn’t put up much of a fight - no explosiveness, no balls, no aggression, and showing great weakness at the final bell. Nah.

    I do like Hearn but it was brilliant to see him look so crestfallen at the final bell

    Id like to see them all fight each other still like fraizer/ali/norton/foreman all going at it but know it doesnt really work like that now. but should fury get through wilder love too see him v Usyk next instead of a rematch with AJ.

    Itd still be a big fight if they could do it some time in the future, just not as big as it would have been

    If Fury does beat Wilder again would the different governing bodies make an exception to have the undisputed fight ahead of any rematches? I suppose they would - they already agreed to that (in theory) for Joshua vs Fury pre-arbitration issue.

    We all wish we could go back to those days mate when fighters were real fighters, fighting 10x a year on free TV.

    Never see those days again sadly. The game is pure money and greed now, with this Eddie Hearns at the core of that.

    Yeh mate youd think they would, it all depends on the contract for a remtach if Joshua pushes the issue. Would it be like a wilder v fury 3 situation if usyk tried to go for Fury and undisputed? Dont really know myself tbh

    Team Joshua seem to think he's still a young heavyweight, learning his trade and improving every fight. It's obviously bollocks. This is his peak, he's been at the same level for about 4 years now and will probably start to decline in the next few years.

    Just because Wlad kept going until he was 40 doesn't mean Joshua can. He's not a good enough boxer to keep going for that long. I reckon he has a few more fights, loses one or two and then calls it a day.

    I think in the top 4; AJ,Usyk,Fury,Wilder.....styles make fights.

    I think Fury is the hardest fight for all of the other three

    I think AJ is still the hardest fight for Fury regardless of what happened tonight...Fury just knows how to bully guys with his size and keep them long if needed, which gives him a big advantage over Usyk....and I don't think Usyk has the power to wobble Fury. Fury would make that ugly and win I think. I think Usyk is the easiest fight for Fury.

    Wilder is still exciting as he can end any fight. I think he would most likely end Joshua, then really close between Usyk & Fury

    Usyk is bloody good and adds so much to the division and I think his style would see him beat wilder the easiest then joshua then Fury

    The scorecards were fair for the main event tonight which was good to see. So I see it like this:

    Fury hardest opponent: Joshua > Wilder > Usyk
    Joshuas hardest opponent: Fury > Usyk > Wilder
    Usyks hardest opponent: Fury > Joshua > Wilder
    Wilders hardest opponent: Fury > Usyk > Joshua

    So I have Fury as number 1, Usyk as number 2 & Joshua/Wilder as number 3.

    But wouldn't be surprised if Fury gets sparked this weekend which is what makes it great.

    Hope they all carry on fighting because tonight's fight was great, they could all really build a legacy for us to talk about in years and years.

    The division will be in limbo for another 12 months or so after Fury v Wilder, Fury won't fight again for ages if he wins.

    I would not be surprised if Wilder and Wallin both win in October. That sequence of events would upset the apple cart.
