    Belts will be scattered between a few guys and the strap holders will be content facing fringe contenders to prolong their time at the top.

    The next unified champ might just be getting into the sport now.

    I predict a pass the parcel era with guys like Hrgovic, Jalolov, Anderson, Torrez, Makhmudov, Wallin

    It will split between four guys none of whom last long or unify.

    Hrgovic, Wallin and Anderson. Dubois because he has the promotion. Probably not Jalalov because he has no promotion.

    Some pitiful times ahead.

    Funny that you mention Fisher. I've been waiting to see this guy in an interesting fight since forever.

    I wouldn't be surprised if all 4 are gone in 3 years time. I would certainly be surprised if more than one of them is still around in 3 years.

    It is likely the belts will fragment after those 4 are all gone but there is also the possibility that the last of them is left with all the belts and loses them all to somebody outside the 4.

    I think Anderson will definitely wear at least one belt in the future. Somebody else might beat him there but that someone isn't realty putting up their hand at the moment. Possible candidates might be Hrgovic (who I voted for in the poll) or Wallan perhaps.

    That's easy. Matchroom's most commercially viable hyped brand at the time.
    Let's never forget that big joshie became champion fighting charles martin.

    After Undisputed champ (probably Usyk) relinquishes all of his belts (makes sense, has money, won everything, and retires undefeated - valid for Fury aswell), Zhang and Charr will be instantly uplifted to champions. That is on thing for sure.

    Jalalov is too far behind, he might be the guy after the next guy. A Jalalov/Torrez rivalry would be cool after their amateur bouts.

    Hrgo, Zhang, Wallin are next in line to potentially grab straps. I think I rate Zhang the highest of the three but if Zhang manages it then he'll only be there for a very short period and at his age he could look terrible in his next fight and it wouldn't surprise.

    Johnny F is an area-level guy but I'll happily get on team BOSH if he shows he can go up to world level.

    Me too, funnily enough.

    I wonder just how far he can actually go, and how he may do right as of now, against some of the top 15 names..

    I'm quite looking forward to him upping his opponents.

    I heard AJ has now left Derrick James, seems he kind of half confirmed it as well, some are saying he's going with Ben Davison.

    belts would be split i am sure hrgovic picks up one... promotion backing will mak sure anderson gets a easy fight to win one also.. and javolov or wallin or someone like that will probs pick up one at som point
