    Assuming Fury and AJ will fight 2-3 times against each other what I could really like to see is a prove-it tournament with Ruiz, Wilder, Hrgovic, and Parker.

    Whyte, Usyk, Joyce, (who have a mandatory or are fighting each other, but assuming they would join) and a fourth like Wallin, Gassiev, Bakole, or whoever is feeling ambitious could make it an 8 man tournament

    The 4 man tournament should be for a mandatory, the 8 man should end with at least one fight for a vacant title, maybe second and third get mandatories.

    For the four guys below Fury and AJ to fight each other. That would be Usyk, Wilder, Ruiz Jr. & Whyte.

    Highly unlikely, I know, but would love to see it!

    Joshua/Fury - For undisputed title if both win their next fight.

    Chisora/Hrgovic - Let's see if Hrgovic is the real deal vs the divisions best gatekeeper.

    Whyte/Ruiz Jr - Battle of the left hook counters. Double KO anyone!

    Joyce/Ortiz - Both have said they wanted in the past, let's make it happen.

    Yoka/Takam - Would be nice to see Yoka step up and see a comparison with Joyce.

    I agree. Joyce may be a poison pill for AJ. Joyce is slow, but throws straight punches that are deceivingly powerful. When one looks at both guys side by side, your 1st thought is AJ is the stronger of the two. I actually think Joyce is the stronger of the two. AJ has, by far, the faster hands. Joyce has, by far, the better chin. Both have solid boxing skills. Joyce has a better gas tank. I see to 2 possible extremely opposite scenarios.

    1: AJ's fast hands and power are able to dent Joyce's chin and AJ gets him out in the early rounds.
    2. Joyce is patient, boxes early, eats some big punches and slowly breaks AJ down.

    At this time I go with scenario #2. Joyce's better chin, gas tank and solid punches take out AJ late in the fight. As I see it, AJ is a bit of a "poser", who has some "quit" in him. Joyce will make him quit.

    The winner of Usyk vs Joshua vs Fury (aka winner of Fury vs Wilder 3).
    Makhman vs Wallin
    Whyte vs Wilder, for sheets and giggles, as it should have happened 2 years ago.
