Who should Usyk fight next?

[El Kabong]

Well the 1st and most obvious choice IMO is Povetkin...I think if he were to win that fight he'd shoot up the ratings and not have to have another fight before a title shot.


If he needs a fight before Povetkin then I suggest one of Marco Huck, Joseph Parker, Bryant Jennings.

It’d be smart for him to fight a really big hw who isn’t all that good, just to get suited to the division. Brezeale is the first guy who came to mind. Someone like huck or Jennings really don’t show him anything new. David price would be funny, all risk no reward though.

Hah we forgot he already beat the hell out of Huck last year

Well different weight class maybe different outcome


How about Sergey Kuzmin? Kubrat Pulev? Adam Kownacki?


Regardless of who he fights he should steer clear of the BIG dudes 6'5+ until he's used to the weight IMO. I still think he gets tagged too much, but who knows, maybe he's more like Holyfield and less like Haye, he's certainly been an impressive cruiserweight for whatever that is worth.

The winner of Dillian Whyte vs Derek Chisora would be perfect.

So Brezeale isn’t all that good, but Price is all risk, no reward?
Although I don’t see Brezeale at the top of the pile, I don’t think he’s that bad , I think he’s a match for anyone outside Parker and Joshua. As for Fury , how can we tell till after Saturday.

brezeale can’t punch, price still can. I don’t thinkh he’s awful either, that’s why he would be worth fighting.

I'd see Breazeale beating Price at this stage. That would be an ok match up. Both guys would raise Usyk's profile in their home countries.

If he can get Ortiz, then that would be an excellent entry to heavy.

I've heard that Miller and Parker have turned down offers, Povetkin and Ortiz seem to be the front runners.

I think that Ortiz is probably the worst match up for Usyk. He is the only HW that can anywhere near rival his boxing ability. I would like him to fight Miller just because the size difference would be funny, but he probably needs a tune up at HW before he jumps that much weight.
