    You’re absolutely correct. Beyond the top 3 it’s just guesswork.

    Who knows if Chisora beats Usyk maybe a case COULD be made for the top four heavyweights being brits?

    That's the kind of result that could bring the forum down,

    Would probably be one of the most popular wins of all time by a Brit if Chisora KO’d Usyk-Takam style.

    If Chisora lands that big overhand right and knocks Usyk out then I don’t care what anyone says, it’s the best British win ever. Simply because the odds on it happening are so sparse.

    Fury's draw with Wilder, 12 months after commencing training after a long absence surely the best performance and Lloyd Honeyghan's win away to Don Curry the best win?

    Usyk has a strong argument for being p4p the best in the world. Chisora is constantly labelled a “has been”, “a bum”, “British level at best”, “9 losses” etc.

    Honeyghan was on the up, he weren't wrote off like Chisora, he was young, in his prime and undefeated. The odds were 5/1 I think I read and he had a bet on himself. You’ll get greater than that for Chisora to KO Usyk.

    As for Fury’s draw I rate his last performance above it and his best one for me is by far the dethroning of Klitschko. I promise you now and I swear on everything that I was one of very few people to back him that night.

    I can see Usyk being absolutely pummelled by that version of Fury last week and that Del Boy telegraphed overhead right will really tell us more about the Usyk punch resistance at Heavyweight level in the unlikely event it lands.

    I lost on Fury that night as could not see him getting a points decision in Germany.

    I like Chisora so don't really mind who wins.. probably better for the division overall if Usyk gets the win though. Provided it doesn't hold up Joshua vs Fury getting made.

    Whytes KO would look excellent if Chisora beat Usyk.

    I know Usyk is incredible but until he beats a world class heavyweight, he's totally unproven up there in the professional game. For that reason, I disagree. If Usyk had easily beaten a top 10 heavyweight and then Chisora starched him, I'd totally agree with you.

    It's not like moving from middleweight to supermiddleweight. Until Usyk takes a big heavyweight big bomb and keeps coming forward, I can't back him against the top guys. I expect him to beat Chisora but I'm not ruling out Chisora rocking him to his boots at some stage.
