    Gonna make myself mince with Chilli Con Carne and pasta later and sit down and watch the Full Fight Reply - Tyson Fury vs Tom Schwarz. Everything about this fight from start to finish was great. Fury's jab is just amazing like a missile.

    Paulie should put Brown tape over his mouth and never utter another word.

    Usyk mandatory called then for early next year so he fights winner of AJ and Ruiz. He'll be a hard night's work for both of them. Arguably most skilled in division and has great work rate. I'd favour him vs both of them.

    I hope that happens. These mandatories sometimes get given step-aside money or promoters advise their boxers to take easier paths to the belt. Whyte is likely to be mandatory for Wilder soon, but according to Eddie Hearn Wilder is now not going to fight Ortiz and fight Fury instead so Whyte might well be cast out again. A lot of ifs and buts, but AJ losing to Ruiz has blown things wide open it's hard to predict what will happen.

    I can see Whyte getting the winner of Wilder and Fury, assuming they fight each other next. Hope they do, there's no point in Wilder battering an ancient Ortiz, who's looked terrible recently

    I’d personally prefer Usyk to get his feet under the table at heavyweight before he gets the elite fights because he’s potentially well in the mix.

    110%..

    Think he beats Ruiz definitely but would rather he was eased in with at least 1 fight at heavyweight..

    Don't know about his power carrying (didn't have a lot at cruiser) but he potentially school's a lot of top heavyweights..

    For me Prograis looks like a special fighter he reminds me of Crawford has power but is slick defensively as well. If Taylor wins this I really hope he starts to get the attention someone like AJ has got, because this would be a huge win. Taylor still has that naivety where he throws caution to the wind and is out and out aggressive. I think that aggressive style Taylor has could well work in his favor. It's a great fight that won't get the attention it deserves because a lot of people don't know how good Prograis is.

    Aye, ideally a plodder or two who he can dance around and try to stop. Takam for example.
    Takam, Whyte and then AJ/Fury/Wilder would be good route.
