    It is a just pure business decion.

    Wilder is popular so he gets to be a champion.
    AJ is popular so he gets to be a champion.
    Fury is popular so he gets to be a champion.

    Anderson is popular so he gets to be in top 10 with 21 years of age, beating nobodies.
    Jake Paul or Logan Paul could as well be a champions, what is the difference.

    Only real champion is Usyk, because Eddie Hearn miscalculated that his fake champion Joshua would destroy real boxers with steroid muscles only.

    The best, and right now that is Usyk.

    Not only the best, but someone willing to fight the best and wants to be the best. That's undoubtedly Usyk.

    Nah i wouldnt put Joshua and the duck and dosser at same spot. Bodybuilder actually took Klitschko,Povietkin,Parker,Ruiz,Pulew, and Usyk to whom he lost

    Wilder only wort mention win is Ortiz who lost to Ruiz

    Fury worth to mention wins are to Klitschko, Wilder, and Finaly Whyte only when he saw hes No longer a threat as he was seen before but still a great scalp on resume since even whyte has better resume than Wilder

    Wilder knocked people senseless so he got to be a champion.
    AJ knocked people senseless so he got to be a champion.
    Fury schooled everyone so he gets to be a champion.

    Anderson is an American elite level amateur so he has some popularity. Usyk is phenomenal which is why he's a unified champion. He's no more real of a champion than Fury, Joshua or even Wilder though. They all won their belts in combat, none of them won vacant titles (and Fury beat an ATG)

    Not sure what narrative you were trying to prove here.

    Not sure you become champion just by being popular. Unless we live in a world where Del Boy Chisora is unified heavyweight champ. That being said, being popular undoubtedly opens more opportunities.
