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

    Now just imagine if AJ said that and the reaction.

    Imagine being called a moron by Scar:rolleyes:

    Why'd you quote the word "scared"? I didn't say he was scared lol. That "random unknown" happens to be one of the best P4P fighters and talents in the world and also a toxic match up for Fury. I don't think Fury's scared of Usyk, or thinks he'd loss go him, but I'm not sure he wants to risk that, and his management definitely don't.

    I don't know about you, but "****, he'll beat me. Let's ignore him" sounds like scared to me. Fury isn't someone that would duck anyone, that has already been proven. In addition to his proven superior skills, it's his courage that made him the star he is today. That said, I'd like to see more of Usyk, considerably against proper opposition, before taking the P4P status you mentioned seriously. For now though, Fury is busy preparing for a rematch against the most murderous puncher in the sport.

    Yes. I think he's scared of losing. I didn't say it though, so next time don't put words in my mouth.
    :lol:

    Sorry, do you not remember him bottling the Klitschko rematch? Do you not remember him saying he'll fight Whyte if he gets X,Y & Z then backing out when he gets it? Do you not remember him abandoning the immediate rematch with Wilder in favour of a fight with Tom Schwarz?

    Fury has been known to duck people.
    It's his mouth. It's his arrogance.
    That's completely different from courage.

    "superior skills"? To who? Usyk? Nah, surely not, that'd be ridiculous.
    Are you taking the ****? Usyk has fought awesome opposition. HWs aside obviously, his CW run is the best in the sport.

    You did say it in that post and you're saying it here as well. I merely quoted you for it and rightfully so.

    Do you not remember him having to retire altogether due to personal problems which also involved mental illness?. No he's not known to ducking people. A setback is a completely different story. Only despicable levels of ignorance would overlook these realities and merely call it ducking instead.

    I could care less about his Cruiserweight crusade, this is the Heavyweight division, a completely different category he's yet to prove himself in.

    At no point in my first post did I use the word "scared". So don't quote me like I did.
    Comprender?
    I remember him doing steroids and covering it up. Only a fool would ignore that.
    You're not very clever, are you? Historically, the 200lbs CW division is the Heavyweight division. He's been facing HWs his whole career, they've just been water cutting down from 215-220 to 200lbs.

    Also, what the **** does him not doing anything at HW have to do with him not being P4P? You literally said he needs to test himself more, when he has the 2nd best résumé in the sport.

    Usyk is the only hurdle he just stumbled at and might stumble at if he meets him in the ring, he`s the only heavyweight that has cracked the top 10 P4P ratings anywhere even though he was a cruiser when he made his rep, the guy is something special and Fury doesn`t have the heavyweight power advantage over him, it would be a very good, interesting fight, Fury knows nothing about boxing, he has natural fundamentals and great slipping abilty.

    Did you care about the 6'2 Holyfield`s cruiserweight crusade too?

    AJ has the looks and Canelo has a huge Mexican following, I don`t think Usyk will topple their popularity even though I feel he could topple AJ in the ring due to his much higher skill level.

    If they don`t fight him he`ll be the elephant in the room, just how good do you think the heavyweight division is right now? He`s cracked the ring magazine P4P ratings surely we have to see if this cruiser can take on heavies all of them are highly beatable depite having a lot going for tem and Fury doesn`t have heavyweight power, are you saying no 6'3 fighter that`s built how Usyk was built v Witherspoon should have got a shot against AJ`s suspect jaw, I know for a fact the 6'2 Holy could take a shot better than the huge AJ.

    The argument that Usyk isnt well known enough to merit a shot against Fury falls apart when the following question is asked

    Is Usyk better known in boxing than Wallin, Seferi or Schwarz?

    Neither Clenelo or AJ have a single ounce of charisma between them. Clenelo is a monotone toad with the personality of a mannequin and AJ is as dull as dish water. The Usyk God could donate 99% of his charisma to charity and he'd still be infinitely more interesting than 99% of the other boxers on the planet.

    Quite right. Plus, he was on PPV in the UK not so long ago and has gained a kind of cult hero status in the UK since. It's nonsense from Fury

    In 2020, sure we do. However, it wasn't 2020 with all the results clear back when he made the move to Heavyweight, correct?.
