    Usyk is facing DuBois, who looked terrible in his last fight and many expect Usyk to win an easy UD.
    A.J. is reliving the past facing Whyte again. A fight he should win the same thing, as he's bigger and faster than Whyte, who also has a glass jaw.
    Hrgovic is fighting a guy everyone thinks is a pushover and many thought he was gifted the Zhang fight.
    Zhang and Joyce will fight for the second time, the first was the best fight in the division of 2023.
    Does Parker even fight anymore?
    Fury is facing Ngannou in a crossover boxing fight. All of the good points of this fight are on Francis'/MMA side of things, none whatsoever for boxing itself.

    Wilder and Ruiz are or are not fighting, which if they do, would really be something when you can make the argument Wilder is facing the best opponent of the major heavyweights, that isn't one of the other guys mentioned above.

    Not to be picky b/c I'm more of a numbers (Math, stats) guy than some English fanatic.
    You gave a fine summary of the HW div. to mid year 2023.

    To me "state of" is more about the condition or situation of the current HW div., for example, is the HW div. - great, good, average, fair, bad shape in terms of quality and quantity of fights?
    What does the OP or others think about my interpretation of the state of the HW div.?
