Tyson Fury “USYK ain’t on the list. He’s a no name. No ones interested in him.

    Fury doesnt ever want to face Usyk because styles make fights, and Usyk is all wrong for him

    Right. Because Dr. Otto Octavius, Tom Schwarzenegger, Francesco Piñata and Sefer Shakira were all big fights.

    Deontay, PLEASE knock this dumb ass Gypsy into Bolivian so we NEVER have to hear his ridiculous comments ever again. The man is not funny anymore; in fact when he talks he seems to be begging for some mental health professional help.

    Mikey moved to WW, who can he beat? Lost badly to Spence, completely overmatched. He’d lose to Crawford, Manny, Porter, Danny Garcia, Thurman, Ugas, etc. I hope Usyk does better fighting guys who outweight him by 40lbs than Mikey did fighting guys in a division 12 pounds higher than his best division. We should know soon, I’m curious to see how he does.

    True, but all those guys are proven HWs and are used to fighting bigger guys. This experiment will be interesting. Usyk is too old to waste too much time with lower ranked fighters. He moved up to HW to fight for a strap. Should be interesting but I need to see it before making any predictions.

    It seems like Fury missed the main point here, Usy doesn't deserve the shot at this very point. He may very well have the tools to be champ, however with his current HW resume it’s not truly justified.

    Very plausible....still I’d like to see him tested by whyte level first before gauging him at the weight. Whyte will, at some stage test his durability and HW potential at a championship level.

    This is Mikey's 5th division, not his 2nd. He beats pac, Danny and ugas from that list, loses to Crawford and probably Thurman.

    more interesting than Fury for sure. Loma , GGG can fill MSG , fury with all mexicans undercard can’t fill Staples.

    WBO Ranks him #1 (any champ moving up gets cred by their standards)
    IBF Ranks him #6
    WBC Ranks him #3
    WBA Ranks him #2.
    Otto Wallin was ranked #15 IBF.
    https://bigfightweekend.com/news/fury-wallin-fight-was-dismal-box-office-failure/
    Are these numbers accurate: against Wallin 3,500 tickets sold out of 18,000 at capacity?
    Against Tom Schwarz @ MGM Grand 5,500 tickets sold & 1,200 or so given away?

    As far as :He don’t speak good English.
    Neither did Duran. Neither did JCC, nor JMM.

    Once upon a time Ali, Riddick Bowe & James Toney used to speak English, they ended up speaking Punch-Drunk. What a lame excuse.

    Usyk won't fight the way Fury wants him to.
