The next biggest fight is Fury v AJ which can still be made but AJ looks too confused and lost.
Wilder v AJ is still a big fight but AJ will only take it as a last resort. After all the above scenarios have occurred I can see it happen but it is a long shot.
Big matchups still happen way after their best sell by date. Lennox v Morrison, Holyfield v Mercer, and Tyson v Holyfield.
I'd say we're well past the stage of getting to undisputed champion is a priority. Fighters should just have to concentrate on beating the best - politics does not allow it.
I'd love two fighters brave enough to say fuck the belts we'll get it on anyway. I've ignored different champions for some time and gone by the Ring champion.
A unified championship would be split before one of them makes a defence - we all know it. How does that ensure the decency of boxing.
Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate
