Neither does jumping in a world fight in his second outing. But if he thinks he can, then lets see. I would like to know if he gets in there with the winner of Ruiz-AJ 2, at least.

And sorry for bringing up the garbage that is the WBA.

Rivas - He can take a decision from Rivas. Out box and out work him. The liklihood of Rivas being able to land enough to hurt Usyk is low in my opinion.
Pulev - Clear Usyk decision here. Pulev just doesn't hit hard enough to give Usyk the kind of trouble I see him having at HW.
Parker - If Parker takes minutes off he'll lose to Usyk. If he keeps doing the things he's capable of, I'd give it 55-45 for Parker.
Kow - Styles. Kow just keep on coming and throwing punches. Could be sylistically problematic for Usyk. We haven't seen Kow in too many higher level fights so I'll make this point with caveats.

LOL! Don't forget it was Usyk himself who said he'd jump right in and fight top 5 guys. Everyone seems to forget that.

Fair enough , personally I think he beats all 4 of those guys. Not sure what Parker really does that well either aside from decent hand speed (with oddly slow/stiff legs)-always found him overrated!

Jamamb pride, no denial

At least he dodges the punches and not the opposition!
Would love Fury vs Usyk. Cause, it would be pretty weird stylewise.

Wars are always fun, or seeing master boxers square off. Might be close, might be wide or even watchable for the causals!

Im crossing my fingers that great match ups happens and that the current crop are out after a legacy for themselfs. Cause, how full ain't the heavyweight division with real talent?

I'm already looking forward to the days of Dubois; Ajagba; Makhumudov;
