I'm glad HBO is picking up Usyk...certainly wish they'd have come up with a better opponent than this.

I think Ward is an excellent fighter, he's just fought dogshit opposition for years now so it's difficult to ascertain exactly how excellent he is.
When you say years- are talking post-comeback?

Several turned the fight down for various reasons.
Hunter would have been the best opponent, but maybe that fight will happen next year.
