    I have been saying for some time that there really isn't a need for a unification bout. Usyk has been the champ for a minute now. Fury is a WWE guy, at this point.

    Agree or no?

    He needs to beat the Predator to become undisputed.

    I think Fury won't fight Usyk after seeing his own performance against Ngannou.

    He's got 3 trinkets, but Fury is still the lineal. Usyk is going to tax that ass though.

    You would still need to favour Fury, one of Furys main weapons he uses is laying on his smaller opponents to tire them out, he couldn't do that in this fight because Francis is a fair lad himself but Usyk will be 60 pounds less then Fury so he'll be right back to it.

    Honestly the WBC should have sanctioned it a title fight and Ngannou should have won.

    Then we could all give Ngannou the respect he deserves. And there would have been more structure to the division.

    I am honestly curious to see how Ngannou will do against others in the division.

    They can now. Wbc may have just put Francis in top 10 rankings. A split with Fury who is ranked first should put him over.

    How can he be the real champ when he arguably got KOed against Dubious, beat a bodybuilder and the corpse of Chisora at the weight.

    Just cause you guys have a crush on Uysk doesn't mean he's the champ he's barely spent any time at HW. Resume is paper thin at HW

    Honestly right now the Heavyweight rankings are a wasteland.

    I thought Usyk would be an easy night for Fury yesterday but after Fury’s fight tonight I’m not so sure… Usyk is the man as of now.

    Btw, Wilder murders Francis.

    This is true. Usyk’s performance against Dubois was nothing to be proud of either.

    Wilder is a myth to be fair, his resume is a **** take.
