AJ-Fury, because Fury-Usyk is going to be a horrible fight to watch.

I'm surprised by these results. It seems that people have really fallen off the AJ bandwagon and that there is very limited interest for a AJ vs Usyk II fight which is very surprising since the first fight wasn't bad at all.

It's also strange that people are apparently just dieing to see a Usyk vs Fury fight since Usyk is simply just way too small for that one. Perhaps people would also be interested in Canelo Alvarez vs Teofimo Lopez, atleast the two of them are the same height.

Out of those 3 fights I'd be most interested in seeing AJ vs Fury. AJ might have enough skill and bulk to make it an interesting fight. To make it a bit more interesting they could do it at a catchweight of 245 pounds with a 0 pound rehydration clause.

Come on man?! It's heavyweight! Btw, Wilder will beat Fury anyway. People laughed when I said we'll end up seeing Usyk vs Wilder, but I predict we will.

In 2006 at 20 years of age the guy was fighting as an amateur at middleweight 75kg 165 pounds. Eat me.

Fury v Joshua at a catchweight with a rehydration clause is definitely a new one.

If there is an AJ Usyk 2 it'll either be more of the same. Or AJ will come out guns blazing and get knocked out early. AJ isn't good enough to beat Usyk.

I feel like Joshua is the most easily rated of the heavyweights. He's both underrated and overrated. He's not a bum, he can box a little, has good power and can beat most other heavyweights. He's got a low boxing IQ, doesn't adapt well, too stiff and robotic. This describes 90% of the top heavyweight prospects. Fury would mop the floor with him. I'd like to see Joshua fight Wilder actually. That would be an exciting, close fight. The 3-4 heavyweights for the bronze medal.

Fury Usyk is the other obvious fight. The two best heavyweights right now and it would be a great fight. Fury would be the heavy favorite and rightly so. He'd have all the advantages and probably the home crowd. Either in England or Vegas. I'd like to see Usyk win but it'd be a long shot. That said he's the only current heavyweight good enough to have a chance. He'd be able to keep up with Fury's feinting and bobbing around.

Everyone says Fury is fast but he's fat. He's fast for a giant but he's not fast for an Usyk. When I think about this matchup I think about the Fury vs the USS Cunningham fight. Another 6' 3" cruiserweight who gave Fury hell. Usyk has to be better then Cunningham right? I'd be inclined to throw some money on Usyk because of the profit potential.

Context is important when evaluating fights!

Tyson was only 24 years of age when he faced Steve Cunningham and had negligible amateur experience.

This was the Brit’s first bout on US soil, to face an American on his home turf who had previously competed in eight world title bouts and was also a two-time world champion.

Also, let's not forget that Steve Cunningham had only just lost a highly controversial decision against Tomasz Adamek, which was an IBF heavyweight title eliminator, immediately prior to facing Tyson Fury.

And apart from the Kevin Johnson bout, Fury had only previously campaigned at domestic level.

Tyson Fury is the only man to have ever stopped Steve Cunningham, which is a moderately impressive feat considering the fact that thirteen of the American's bouts have been against former/current world champions.

People also forget that Cunningham was a better fighter than his resume reads, because some of his losses to former/current world champions were controversial in nature (i.e. Krzysztof Wlodarczyk, Vyacheslav Glazkov, Tomasz Adamek, Yoan Pablo Hernandez etc.).

Steve Cunningham also faced eight unbeaten fighters, many of whom were decent names (i.e. Andrew Tabiti, Krzysztof Glowacki, Vyacheslav Glazkov, Amir Mansour, Tyson Fury & Marco Huck) and managed to beat four of them (Mansour & Huck being the most notable wins).

On a related note, we shouldn't forget that Doug Jones almost knocked down Muhammad Ali, but the likes of Alan Hudson, Sonny Banks, Henry Cooper, Joe Frazier and Chuck Wepner all managed to deck him.

Therefore, even all-time-greats and Hall-of-Famers have experienced several bad days at the office during their careers.

Fury/Usyk for me, although it would be the most boring fight, but it would be the fight between the two best HWs on the planet and it would sort out who is THE true HW champion of the world.

Wilder vs. AJ is the most intriguing fight to be made at heavyweight. At one point it was one of the most talked about fights in boxing, but I still find that fight just as intriguing now than it was when they were both undefeated champions.
