He's shown today that not only can he box for a big man, but he's also a switch hitter. Every time he fights we're seeing more wrinkles to his game. He will toy with wilder with 1 hand behind his back.
One thing he proved (and proved before). He can outbox and KO small heavyweights. Why doesn't he find someone with the same height ? Wach, Ustinov, Thompson, those are the fights I wanna see.
Do you honestly believe that Ustinov, who was completely outclassed against Pulev, would fare any better against Fury?
From what I can see, that'd be a perfect match-up for Wilder. Fury backs up straight into corners, which he can get away with against smaller fighters, but with Wilder's length and power, he wouldn't. Also Fury throws a lot of arm punches, so Wilder doesn't have too much to worry about coming back at him. I'd pick Wilder by stoppage as well.
The Ustinov that lost to Pulev was 306lbs. The new and certainly improved Ustinov is 265/275lbs. Whether or NOT Fury COULD beat him is a MUTE point. Ustinov NEEDS to secure a BIG fight, and Team Fury is NOT foolish enough to risk a Wlad/Wilder fight to take on Ustinov, and why would they??? Ppl keep saying this shiit......Can he beat a big man???? Who f/n cares right now? He's either got Wlad, Wilder, or Browne/Chaagev NEXT.......so they'll get their answer soon enough. That is unless Chagaev somehow manages to turn back the clock and beat Browne.:think
Notice that Fury didn't reschedule his fight against Ustinov, he canceled it and found Hammer instead?
