What seems likely to me is this:
Usyk fights once: the winner of Dubois v Parker. He's got to wait until that's over, and then they have to negotiate and then go through camp, and someone will get injuries and delay it. That doesn't leave much room for a second fight.
Crawford doesn't fight at all, because he's being Canelo or nothing. He'll find out why weight classes exist if he does somehow get that fight.
Canelo fights Scull and some other nobody like Surace if he beats Mungu�a again. Or maybe Crawford if Turki wants to drop huge money on it.
Beterbiev v Bivol winner has that, plus defending against Michael Eifert, if they fight again.
Bam doesn't even have a fight scheduled. He's got a mandatory to be decided by Choc v Moloney, and is waiting for Puma v Ioka 2.
Inoue will have Goodman, MJ or Picasso, and probably Nakatani. Maybe all 4.
I'm really curious to see what Nakatani's schedule will end up looking like.
We simply don't have enough information yet and possible winners likely will have to go through one or more fellow P4P stal***** to get there, but from what we know so far, and past trends, only Inoue has the schedule to really be in the conversation already. Remember, those fights you all are sneering at are the #1, #2/3, and #7 contenders (he's already beaten the others), and the #1, and likely unified champion and fellow P4P talent in Nakatani. Outside of them, and the unlikely circumstance that Bam also fights one or both of those two only Beterbiev and Bivol will be fighting another P4P fighter, unless we get the circus of Crawford v Canelo, and Crawford would have to somehow pull that off, because Canelo gets zero credit for winning that fight.
