    Mikey beats PAC? I think you are dreaming. Did you see what Pac did to Thurman? I don’t think I he beats any of those guys. He’s great but too small for welter. I’m glad he’s going down to 140 but I don’t think he’s top three at that weight. He can beat 140 pound guys but is probably fifth or so on the list because those guys are younger and bigger. I hope he goes back to 135 where he is an elite talent. He is carrying too much fat at 147 for sure. Pac boxes his ears off and probably takes him out. Spence seemed to take his foot off the gas on purpose. That was a wasted fight for fans although I’m sure the guys made great money.

    That’s what I meant. The difference in size would be really odd looking. Usyk is not only shorter, he’s much skinnier than Fury. It would be worth watching to just see the disparity. Fury moves well for a big guy but Usyk moves better overall. Still, Fury would have a decided reach and height advantage. Don’t look like Fury is interested so we may never see it.

    Tyson Fury is my favourite boxer, but he does contradict himself a lot of the time. Sometimes, I think it's down to trolling and other times I think he's making a convenient excuse.

    It's infuriating to hear him dismiss Oleksandr Usyk. Everyone knows fine well that he's a danger man and he's certainly not a "no name". He's just fought Tom Schwarz and Otto Wallin!

    I would love to see the Ukranian in there with all of the best in the division.

    I don't especially care about this fight unless Fury beats Wilder and Usyk beats Joshua, a fight frankly I doubt he'll get. It's not a compelling matchup and would lack the tension of the other big fights you could make.

    :lol: It will be the first time in history you'll have both fighters trying to wangle away disadvantage at the negotiation table lol

    That being said, Usyk is the one true King of the Road

    a better talker than fighter??

    Titles won in a career with a 3 year hiatus

    Irish title
    English title
    British title
    Commonwealth title
    Wbo intercontinental title
    Wbo international title
    Ebu European title
    WBA title
    IBF title
    WBO title
    IBO title
    Ring title

    and we can’t forget the Mayan wbc title, which was an apology from the wbc because he should rightfully hold this too.

    if he is a better talker than fighter then he should be president of the.......WORLD

    fury does not bring money either, few more fights in US ans Usyk will be able to fill MSG, while Fury can’t fill staples or t-mobile. Nobody cares about usyk yet, but even less people care about fury.

    He fought the most boring hw title fight in history, while juicing, then was forcefully retired, because he was juicing. Has looked bang average since his return and operating at a level of a 50yo Ortiz.
    That's what's behind all that fluff you posted.

    We will have to agree to disagree on that one. Mikey is really good, one of the best, but not north of 140. I’m not even sure he’s elite at 140. I like Taylor, Ramirez, and Prograis over Mikey. Not because of skill, they are good and bigger than Mikey.

    If they ever fight (highly unlikely that anyone will ever pay Mikey to fight at welter again) you and I should place a bet. Also, I’m not talking about a past prime fight when Manny is 50, within the next year or so. I can’t wait for Mikey to move down in weight where he’s at his best.

    don’t think he really cares, he’s a multi, multi millionaire and with him being not much of a draw as you say, Usyk would make it even worse.

    fury’s best bets to cash out are wilder x2 , aj and whyte as he stated
