    Y'know, even though I want those stupid ****ing WBA Regular belts to finally be purged from existence, this is one time I'd be okay with the consolidation fight being delayed. Usyk-Wilder is a much better fight between two proven heavyweights. I see Usyk taking any right hands that might land in stride and outboxing Wilder with the possibility of stopping him late. I know that might sound crazy considering his one stoppage at heavy has come via corner retirement, but I feel like if Fury can manage to knock Wilder down by the third round on two different occasions and stop him via accumulation, Usyk can do the same. He's already proven he can break someone down, as we saw against Huck and Bellew and nearly against Hunter.

    That's just my two cents though, and I'm not saying it'd for sure happen. I kinda doubt Usyk would even go that route, he'd probably be confident enough in his chin and ability to avoid the right hand that he'd stick to outboxing, I just give it a good chance of happening if he decided to. Like I always say though, you never know with boxing, especially at this weight division. Hopefully we'll get a chance to see how it'd play out soon enough!

    Wilder had problems with medicore southpaw Szpilka for 9 rounds untill he knock him out in different time dimension but Usyk is levels beyond, ofcourse with Wilder you never know he can KO anybody

    My opinion on Wilder not being deserving has nothing to do with Dubois

    Wilder by devastation KO if they fight, ppl hating on wilder don’t want to see him get a shot at AJ or Usyk to keep up narrative everybody knows both them guys get demolished

    I'm of the mind Wilder should PROVE it, not just have people assume he'll beat them all. He STILL has a **** resume for a former HW title holder...

    I'd much prefer the Wilder/Usyk fight. Money on a Wilder KO is a safe bet though, IMO, as much as I love Usyk

    You are confusing them with Fury fans. Most of us would love to see Wilder fight Usyk or AJ. Every live body he has fought, Wilder has lost.

    I know Wilder has KO power but Usyk's boxing IQ is off the charts. I think he boxes his way to a pretty easy points win. I think he'd frustrate the hell out of Wilder.
