Name anyone, but my suggestions: Briedis rematch Tabiti Vlasov Lebedev Bellew Andre Ward Mid Level Heavy (Hammer, Dimentrenko) Contender (Miller, Whyte) Wilder Charr Fury Joshua Other (Specify) POST SCRIPT: I am picking Wilder because there is not doubt in my mind whatsoever that Usyk would win every round.
one final fight at CW in order to annex Hoilyfields CW record, and then a move to HW. Theres just not a lot of top CWs to fight, choice is difficult.
Not at all realistic, but Joshua. I don't see Joshua fighting Usyk for a very long time if ever, Hearn is on record saying that it's his job to stop his fighters taking high risk opponents like Usyk.
Id like to see Uysk v Bellew at either Cruiser or Heavy. Not because i feel Bellew particulary deserves anything but ive been impressed with him at Cruiser and think it could make a good fight, if they fought at Heavy it would be a good introduction to the weight for Uysk (if he feels he needs it) before he looks to step up to the big boys in the division. If not and he is looking to stay at Cruiser does it really matter? He has made it quite clear he is the dominant force. Maybe one of Gassievs victims from his side of the competition thats just finished. But id like to see him move up to Heavy.
He should go straight for the top. AJ or Wilder for me. If he cannot get one of those then he should face a top HW with high ranking points like Ortiz, Miller or Whyte/Parker winner.
Who then? Question here is who would you like to see him fight? Just say who you want to see him fight instead of telling everybody else they are wrong.
Bellew in the UK in October or November at CW and then 2019 maybe moving up to HW. Another good fight at CW would be Usyk vs Shumenov.
This. Bellew is irrelevant, just sitting about waiting to jump on another bs PPV against some faded cripple.
Bomber "Gary Powa" Bellew. Just for the fun of it Pretty sure there will be some here favoring Tony to make it extra funny.
Bellew is a good tune-up, then Ortiz in a HW eliminator. He needs to become mandatory soon cause that's the only way he'll get a shot, and even that could mean 2 yrs down the line. He should also push for a shot as WBO champ or force Joshua to vacate. Luckily, with WBSS associated with DAZN from S2, Comosa could broker a deal with Hearn and guarantee the US platform.
bellew would be more a warmup for ward to enter cruiser. they have a history which would suit the build-up, and ward is a lightheavy moving up so needs that level of warmup. But Usyk is an established CW, the number one in fact. Sure a warm up in not a bad idea, but someone with more of a challenge than a lightheavy. He needs a genuine HW challenge in order to gauge how he does against them, and more importantly to develop/transfer his skills against such. Also i think its in his nature to go straight for the jugular, he will go big. Its not an unfair guage, for once, to moniker him the "white Holyfield", such is the nature of the man. To quote the man, he wants extra spaghetti.
