Who ? Why ?

Id like the AJ vs (wilder vs fury winner)

But im guessing he fights pulev in england.

Pulev, cause of mandatory for the IBF.

Then again their is also Usyk around the corner.

Can't believe still have that fat Pig meal in your poll

I would only be interested in wilder and fury out of those.

With the Wilder fight, AJ would probably have to try and take him out before he got decapitated himself. Joshua has better fundamental skills so I could see him better positioned to set up some big shots on wilder while DW is in his plodding mode, making me inclined to believe AJ gets to him first. 60/40 AJ.

In terms of the Fury fight, previously I thought AJ would stop him, but after seeing TF recover from wilder’s bombs I’m not so sure. Difficult to call, I would say 60/40 AJ.

pulev

let usyk fight chisora

Usyk has been ordered by the WBA, to take place within 180 days. If rumours from a month or two are correct, the IBF will also order Pulev.

It's definitely one of those next.

Pulev is the most urgent mandatory, followed by Usyk. They have 180 days to make the Usyk fight. I would like Usyk to have another HW fight first, preferably of a Parker/Chisora type level- and both being Matchroom, easy to make.

I'm not sure Usyk can get past old fat past prime Chisora.

3 years ago version of pulev was perfect candidate to fight AJ, but he pulled out due to injury. I think he could give AJ big trouble.

If he needs to fight a mandatory that'll be fine, but I hope he gets Wilder or the Wilder/Fury winner if indeed they have their rematch by this time next year. We've waited long enough, and this 3 headed Champ thing is getting old.

Onetimeonly · Post by **Onetimeonly** » 08 Dec 2019, 01:34

The ibf will strip, maybe he can work with the wbo. Pulev is a really easy fight for him so that's my guess based on both reasons.

agreed but unfortunatly there now kinda off rhythm. If AJ fights pulev that will probly be april/may and Wilder fury winner might not want to wait for 9 months for the winner. would it be posable that usyk fight for WBO early in the year, then winner of WBO vs winner of wilder fury in may/june. then big end of year fight all the belts? thats kinda the dream. Fuckk 4 belts. World champ is a singular term, lets find out who it is at heavyweight.

Be cool to do Ruiz up in his home state of California and put a proper beating on him good and proper.
1 in the U.S, 1 in Saudi ... Ruiz should come to our gaff if he wants it.

How does Andy Ruiz avoid a trip to the UK for fight 3.
If you want it you got to come here to get it.

If I was him I’d just retire and spend time with my family.

Once you've made 8 figures, which I believe he did for this fight right? I don't believe I'd fight again for any less than 7 figures minimum. Even against other contenders or whatever. If they couldn't get me 7 figures, I couldn't be bothered with it anymore.

DrDuke · Post by **DrDuke** » 08 Dec 2019, 03:36

Fury-Wilder winner in summer would be the best option. But with obligations to fight mandatories he'll face Pulev most likely.

He is spending money like crazy. See him on instagram, he got at least three new cars, a new mansion and a boat. So he will need more money soon enough even he made 8 figures.

Unless he fights Wilder or Fury, there is little else of interest to me.

As evidenced by the last 3.5 years, there's little chance of him fighting Wilder.

Hopefully Fury can beat Wilder next year, then a unification fight should be easier to make.

Pulev, the mandatory. But just in case, have Luis Ortiz on standby, like they did the last time with Takaam. Pulev will pull out.

Today it was revealed, that Usyk is a mandatory too, for WBO, and they have 180 days to make a deal.

Stuartd75 · Post by **Stuartd75** » 08 Dec 2019, 08:54

I'm kinda alright with any of the options in the poll (think Chisora would be a stretch) but I am certain they will go as weak as possible so Pulev has to be a big favourite. Just hope it is one of those and not a Kownacki/Hunter type or worse that I can see Hearn trying to shoehorn in.

ValMar · Post by **ValMar** » 08 Dec 2019, 12:19

Joshua said that he would be willing to face his WBO mandatory. So, Usyk is the next.

Luis already rejected them once, he's unreliable

margaret thatcher · Post by **margaret thatcher** » 08 Dec 2019, 12:30

Can Usyk's mandatory shot wait? Or since if it's been ordered for 180 days does it have to happen next? Because since they are both Eddeh's boys I can see Usyk-Parker/Chisora while Josh deals with Kuby first.
