    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.

    I can understand Miller looking elsewhere, as he is on the verge of a title shot. If it's true Parker turned down an offer, I guess that can considered a duck.

    Either Ortiz or Povetkin would be massive first fights in the division for Usyk. I hope he does end up fighting a top 10 rated guy tho.

    I’m sure that not many HWs are lining up to fight Usyk. At this point, he is high risk low reward. If Usyk gets KO’d his first HW fight then people will just claim he’s too small.
