    Usyk deserves a pass for facing Witherspoon due to the fact of his shoulder surgery & long layoff.

    Now that rust is off, he needs to face a contender along the lines of Chisora, Takam, Parker, Breazeale, Miller etc.

    If team Usyk decides to face a Charr, Spong, Molina, DeAmori, etc, he has no belief in himself and is fooling his fans.

    Takam is no longer a contender, neither is Brazeale.

    I think he will fight Parker or Chisora but Hearn is adamant it's for the WBO.

    Still, they are a stern test for someone moving up from cruiser.

    Usyk must do whatever he thinks is necessary.

    Going by his actions so far, I’m sure he will go after the titles soon enough and even if it’s not in the next fight, or the one after, there’s no need to ***** about it. That man knows what he needs to do.

    Usyk is ranked #4 by BoxRec at HW. Well that was quick.
    You're right he needs to face someone in top 15 next: Kownacki, Parker or Rivas.

    Your joking right? Even this current and faded Chisora would've koed 10days notice Chazz in 2rds tops

    You can’t be serious. I understand that you like Usyk, but this was just a terrible statement.

    Chisora while crude, brings none stop pressure, above average power and a never give up warrior mentality.

    Oh man, If I want to be ranked in the top 5 and get myself inline for a monster payday, all I need to do is defeat Chazz Witherspoon!?

    Kownacki and Rivas are also solid

    You're right, I'm wrong. The ghost of Derek Chisora is a fearsome opponent who is one of the best fighters in the division today. If Usyk can beat HIM he will prove that he is an ATG! :D

    Also, have you noticed the gap in Usyk's teeth? Does it make you feel ... uncomfortable?
