The heavyweight division is easily the most prominent and noticeable division in any combat sport. Boxing is no different. In boxing, the division packs some of the best fighters of all time, with inhuman strength and speed. Some of the very notable names in the division, at the moment, are Tyson Fury, Oleksandr Usyk, Anthony Joshua, and a few others.

When the idea of putting all of these names against each other is put forward, fans are naturally divided in their opinions. Everyone wants to see a clash of the Titans, but who will stand out victorious among them is the real question. Along similar lines, IFLTV shared a post on X. Let us see what the post was about in detail.

No place for Deontay Wilder!

The tweet put Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, Oleksandr Usyk, Zhilei Zhang, Joseph Parker, and Filip Hrgovic against each other in a hypothetical tournament referring to the collective bunch as “Super Six”. All the fighters on the list currently hold or have held a title at some point in their career. Many of the fighters on the list have also fought against each other.

Fury beat Joshua and Hrgovic defeated Zhang in 2022, but all of them have been extremely close bouts. A rematch today could go either way for every fighter on the list. However, fans seemed to think otherwise. Let’s take a look at what the comments section looked like for these hypothetical matchups.

Another said, “Usyk vs AJ final. Usyk wins on points,” predicting Usyk as the one to take home the victory from among the rest.

One Fury fan said, “Tyson fury is still the man until someone else can prove otherwise so the answer to this question in that case is Tyson fury the GK is still the governor simple as that,” claiming Fury as the winner until someone can defeat the lineal champion, he even calling the gypsy king a governo.

“Take out hrgovic put in wilder,” said one user, asking to swap Hrgovic out for Wilder considering Wilder’s grand history and standing in the division.

Someone also said, “Fury would pull out of the super six,” casting a shade at Tyson Fury for postponing the Usyk fight after an injury.
