For now Kownacki would reject even an offer from Wilder. He's expecting child now, so i guess he will be sitting on the sofa while watching tv and eating tons of cakes and pierogis for several months.
Usyk vs ?

Then for fight #2, someone like Hunter or Takam, sure.
Then for fight #3, a full-fledged top 15 or top 10.
Otherwise, if he fights a top ten first, how long will it be before he can arrange another fight? A full year? more?
I'd rather see him active and fighting a lot of top 30 guys than waiting around years to get a crack at the top 5.
Well....we either get those mismatch fights for the next year and a half, or we wait for a year and a half while nobody agrees to fight him. I'll take the former.
Re: Usyk vs ?
..I'd just like to see USYK in action and the sooner the better and no, it doesn't have to be the top 10 guy..
Re: Usyk vs ?
Who cares at this point who he fights. Fury is fighting Wallin after fighting Schwarz.SportsRatings wrote: ↑17 Aug 2019, 19:04jujigatame wrote: ↑17 Aug 2019, 10:23

Well let's hope not because he's clearly the kind of guy who could easily blimp up to over 300. I think he's also the kind of guy who could be champ, but he needs to go the opposite way to do that. He doesn't need me to tell him that!

Re: Usyk vs ?
Povetkin or Parker would be an ideal debut
Re: Usyk vs ?
There aren't a lot of options.
Maybe Johann Duhaupas?

Re: Usyk vs ?
No. He should face a medium guy for his first heavyweight fight not one of the top guys. Besides Povetkin is fighting next week.
Re: Usyk vs ?
Right now I’d just like to see him in the ring. It’s been a long time.

Re: Usyk vs ?
Yes, over nine months since the Bellew fight now. If boxers are only going to fight once a year, well how many peak years can a boxer expect to have, 10, maybe 20? 25? He's been fighting pro for 6 years. In 10 years he'll be 42 and they'll be saying he's too old. It goes fast, life does. Of course this big delay is caused by him moving up to heavy and then getting injured.
