I don't even really want to see ATGUsyk fight Fury.

    I know ATGUsyk wants it, and the fans will want to see a four-belt champ, but I don't want to see it for two reasons:

    1) ATGUsyk is already the champ in my book. As much as I am also a Fury fan, he blew it whereas ATGUsyk grabbed the brass ring. Fury could have had this fight, but lied about the seriousness of Wilder's law suit, and conned everyone into thinking he was negotiating fights with Kabayel and Joshua when he was basically waiting on the judge. He should have fought Wilder in January and had this fight. Instead, he shot another year and a half of his career and let ATGUsyk eat his lunch, and, though I remain a fan of Tyson's talent, he really does not deserve ATGUsyk until he thoroughly redeems himself.

    2) It will be a stinker of a fight. This was a great fight because it was bull and matador. Two bulls is also fun, but matador and matador is always a snooze fest.

    Anyway, ATGUsyk wants the fight, and should get through the Joshua rematch handily, so If Fury trains and beats Wiler again, it will probably happen anyway.

    I’d love to see it, Fury will not try to out box him he will fight like a big man and won’t be afraid to get hit. I think it would be a great fight and the first time Fury has been in with someone who is a naturally better boxer than him. Both men will have a solid game plan. I could see Fury coming in at 270 and try to just monster him.

    Usyk beats Fury.. Should Fury beat Wilder..... This is the fight that should be made. Hearn would probably be content with waiting, and having Joshua fight the winner. That's the best for the division, two quality fights with that route....

    Why not? USYK is the best Heavyweight in the world rn. If Fury gets past Wilder in a few weeks, then that fight has to happen next. Its been long overdue since weve had one champion in the HW division.

    Was Joshua v Usyk really bull vs matador? Usyk was hardly playing matador out there.

    Another aspect would be that Fury wouldn't switch hit...don't fight a southpaw southpaw.

    Hearn will probably go this route... He makes the most money that way.... Either way Joshua fights the winner. Best for business as well as boxing if this happens.

    What else are those two gonna do with their lives? They're boxers, they both need someone to box, why not each other?

    The style thing is fair enough, but still.

    You're not a boxing fan if you don't want to see that fight. What's not to like about it?

    I am a boxing fan, and have discussed what is not to like in the opening post. It is all right to disagree, but did you read it?

    We will have to agree to disagree. I want to see one champ at HW for that reason alone you should want the fight.

    I totally hear you and agree to a large degree...

    However, boxing and boxing history need these two to fight. They are far and away the two best fighters, and its only right that one is left standing.

    Plus, I dont really care if its boring, I want to see how the fight mechanics flow in this fight. Usyk will have a mighty task in front of him in a historically good h2h fighter.... why would I not want to see how Usyk attempts his dismantling of the skilled gamebred giant.

    While Im probably a bit bitter that Fury gets this fight, so much of this fight is the literal reason I watch boxing. Best against the best, number 1 against number 2, undisputed champion, and to see the gameplans crafted and executed against eachother, and the skills on display in such contrasting fighters, trying to impose their unique energy on the other.

    No, I need to have this fight lol.

    I think Fury wins he rolls with shots and won’t get tagged with Usyk’s left as much as AJ did. I think Fury will execute the game plan using his natural attributes to his advantage more than AJ did.
