    Rated by 80% of the forum as the second best HW after Fury. I expect him to fight someone in the top 10 in his first fight, anything less should raise question marks? He might end up fighting bums for the next couple of years hoping his real threats are all retired.

    Or he could follow the western model, wait for them to be old and washed up, then move up and beat them. It works for all your hype jobs, why wouldnt it work for Usyk?

    usyk wants best fighters. a top 10 heavy no doubt about it. i would like him to stay at cruser . unless he is having trouble making weight. i would like him to lebedev and i also want to see him fight tabiti . but a heavy weight i wanna see him beat joshua.

    With Usyk and Takam both working with Hearn that's the fight I expect to see made.
