      Usyk not getting the respect he deserves because he ain’t American or a British fighter..

      Pretty sure he's as highly regarded as any among the boxing world.

      I thought Fury put up a good fight on the whole but Usyk is simply a level above in terms of skill and intensity. From a sporting perspective there wouldn't be any point in a third fight.

      The guy is solid as… live to see him have. rematch fight Dubois either here in the UK or Vegas.. Saudi just doesn’t have the appeal other than the lure of riyals..

      Certainly knocking the doubters and proved he can also take a good punch. I heard when he comes back wants to drop in weight again Shabs ?

      100%.

      Start of 2025 is the perfect time to make the AJ Fury fight, it goes back to somewhat being a 50/50.....there was a time where everyone thought AJ would KO Fury, then Fury did his thing.....AJ took a bad loss and everyone thought Fury would box his ears off.

      9 times out of 10 I'll always side with the boxer over the puncher but with AJ you can never really count him out.

      I'd also love to see Usyk Parker once Parker has dispatched of Dubois, then end his career by becoming undisputed at cruser again, the Opetaia fight would be great.

      Seems a bit pointless to make the AJ Fury match now. Fury let that ship sail years ago, Hearn and AJ wanted that desperately for years and got nothing - except the ridiculous call out from Fury and 24 hour deadline. It echoed all the problems Matchroom had when trying to make the Wilder fight. Unless Usyk vacates I don't see what AJ or Fury have to aim for now, and even if he does they both have to accept they can only be second best.

      ;D a cruiser weight against real heavy weights who could box.

      You started watching boxing in the last few years?  😂



      Nope, but that Cruiserweight s beating heavyweights.

      Being watching since Tyson was sparking people in the 80s.

      Usyk is the most dominant Heavywwight of recent times. Sad if you can't see it!!

      Not a glowing list

      Usyk wouldn’t last against some of the top heavyweights seen over the past

      Lewis
      Tyson
      Holyfield

      To name three in modern times

      Its not a great era for heavyweights at the moment

      But right now he is at the top


      Holyfield started off at Cruiser.

      Lennox is my fave Heavyweight
