And the 3rd. Is a shock on the cards?

No, I guess it isn't. Usyk is some fighter, once he works you out you are in trouble.

Bellew did better than I expected, a creditable performance. Not sure about Usyk versus the big heavyweights though, he took a few too many punches from a 35 year old who has only fought a busted David Haye in the last two years. If Joshua or Wilder lands those punches he is gone.

It must be hard for the referee to see if they have got up from a count.

Many light heavies have tried the step up in the past going back to Willie Pastrano and Archie Moore but none have really been successful and today's heavies are a lot heavier than the likes of Rocky Marciano and Floyd Paterson were

Indeed. Until Cruiserweight became officially recognised in 1980, anyone over 12 and a half stone (the light heavy limit) was a heavyweight! Bob Fitzsimmons did alright moving up to heavyweight though!

I think Evander Holyfield Might have something to say about that

All the lower ranked world titles none ever held the major ones. I also dont think Usyk will either.

David Haye was WBA Champion, Michael Moorer was WBA and IBF Champion.

What do you define as 'major' titles?
