    Absolutely no justification whatsoever for ranking Wilder at number two when you've got two men holding all the major recognised belts between them. One and two are Usyk and Fury; you can argue about who gets top spot, but those are the only relevant fighters to fill those spots.

    Bang on. And Tyson had like 3 tune ups before he fought Wilder. Fairly overrated story in all honesty.

    I think usyk is number 1 in the division. He is the only 1 that is happy for an undisputed fight. If he beats Joshua again then that gives him a few good wins at the weight as well as undisputed at cruiserweight. Fury knows he should be finishing on the usyk Joshua winner but for some reason he doesn't want to.

    He knows there's a good possibility of him losing, I suspect.

    The man classes Steve Cunningham of all people as the most slickest Boxer he has fought. He's gonna learn what slickness means of he fights Usyk.

    Usyk has had 2 plodders in his previous 2 Heavyweight fights and both no real test for an elite fighter.

    Tyson Fury v Usyk is a great fight and Usyk will certainly find Tyson Fury on a different level to the Plod Squad.

    @Mitch87 is ruthless cutting through CVs with a sharp pair of scissors when any spec of a potential weakness is identified.

    He has been known to get his starters mixed up with puddings when he eats out.

    I'd pick Wilder to beat AJ and Whyte. Can't put him above Usyk though. Usyk may yet prove to be the best of the lot.

    We need the Fury v Usyk fight to draw a line under this era of boxing then best of luck to both in retirement.

    Wilder would knock out both AJ and Whyte.

    Wilder vs Usyk is a 50/50 fight.

    lol more like 95/5 Usyk. Usyk is a special fighter who is technically and Boxing IQ wise on a other planet to Wilder. And he has a solid chin, never been down. Faced big punchers many times pro and amateur and dealt with them all. Usyk would absolutely school Wilder.

    Usyk's never faced a puncher like Wilder.
