    If Wilder makes quick work of Usyk and becomes one of the few men to ever hold all four heavyweight titles ... and Luis Ortiz (who has only lost to Wilder) beats Andy Ruiz ...

    Will future generations look back on this era and say the top three heavyweights were actually Fury, Wilder and Ortiz?
    :rolleyes:

    Joshua had better win the return. That's all I can say.

    I'd definitely tune in for the fight and it would be more intriguing to me than someone like Parker or Ruiz getting it. Ideally I'd like to see him face Joyce with the winner getting Usyk/AJ provided Fury is out of the picture.

    Wilder isn't knocking Usyk out. His best chance is against AJ, and even that's 50/50. Ortiz is sadly too old for Ruiz now, which is a pity because I tend to cheer for southpaw fighters.

    Wilder won't make quick work Usyk because Usyk is one of the most skilled of all time and Wilder is a complete bum.

    Still pushing the Usyk hate in the hope that you will be validated.

    Remember, he was dead certain Wilder would beat Fury 3 times too. Must hurt.

    He also has a history of bashing Usyk:

    By my estimation he'd still be a top 3 guy in the division even coming off a loss if Fury isn't in the picture. Who else deserves it over a guy who is one of the top draws of the division? I understand you guys fear that his right hand could make him champ again but hey its an occupational hazard for a fighter.

    Wilder's only loss was to the best HW out there. Now that Fury is retired, I don't see any reason why he can't ask for the winner of AK/Usyk. Add to the fact, who else would bring AJ or Usyk a bigger payday.
