Had a few glitches , so just restarted this thread.
So with the fight last night , Usyk proved he is the man ……….but he’s 37 years old. And Fury and AJ are also mid thirties.
Maybe not imminently , but we are gonna see a changing of the guard.
Who do we think the future top guy or guys are gonna be?
I’m gonna throw this out there and say the the Heavyweight division will change drastically. I believe that in general (and there are always exceptions to the rule) the Giants of recent times are not going to be the top guys.
I reckon Usyk has shown that you can come up from Cruiserweight and bridge the gap if you have the skills and you can overcome the size.
I firmly believe that in the next 2 years, Jai Opetaia is gonna move into the HW division and be a big player.
I could see him give away 3 stone in weight and 4 inches of height and beat guys.
In a nutshell , Usyk has paved the way for Boxing skills to outweigh sheer size and power.
That said, Usyk is a once in a generation talent.
