    In terms of a pure boxing match, both Furys would give hm hell, a Russian Cruiser named Ruslan Fayfer, We'll see how Yoka looks when he's clean.

    Fayfer? LOL. Briedid and Gassiev are MUCH better than Fayfer. Hughie? I don't think he even hits harder than Usyk, and Usyk is better in all other aspects of the game except of height and reach. Tyson Fury? Yes, if he is in shape, he would most likely beat Usyk on points.

    On paper Fury and Joshua, however outboxed is pretty subjective here when you're talking about him moving to HW. The guys there will have the power to wreck him, so getting tagged hard can and likely will force him to change his approach, so someone not considered a good boxer (Whyte as an EXAMPLE) may end up actually outboxing him.

    we dont know, but certianly not in his own division. Hes king of that one, and there obviously more spaghetti to be served.

    Fayfer looks like a damn good fighter. Of course I did say that about Gassiev too.

    No. If we take away the strength, power, and chin of today's heavyweights none of them have a hope of outboxing Usyk. The only cruiser or heavyweight with a chance of outboxing Usyk I think was Briedis, and we saw Usyk rise to the challenge after trouble early and deservedly come out with the win. Wilder or Joshua might beat him but they would have to either hurt or outmuscle him, neither would outmove him or control the action with calculating accuracy. If Fury as the better boxer than Wilder and Joshua wins on points it would be because Usyk couldn't keep him away while Fury could worry Usyk with his strength. A Fury points win wouldn't qualify as "outboxing" Usyk though.

    Fayfer is crap lol!!! I doubt you've even seen him.You must be going off Boxrec or Something. There is at 7 Cruiserweights in Russia alone that are better than Fafyer! - Gassiev, Lebedev, Vlasov, Kudrayshov, Kashinsky, Papin, Tischenko (turns pro next week) - all better.

    and Yoka has NOTHING for Usyk, NOTHING!

    You're gonna have to search for some new hopes :lol:
