    Fury knocks out Usyk or Fury gives Usyk a boxing lesson ?

    Usyk knocks out Fury would be the bigger statement.

    Of the two Fury schooling him would be the bigger one since Usyk is seen as the superior boxer.

    Fury is not a better boxer than Usyk, so he can't school him, also he don't have that kind of one punch KO power like AJ, Wilder.

    Fury can't bully Usyk, he is too fast and his movements, feints are just too unpredictable.

    The angles that Usyk is taking will make fury very very uncomfortable

    I think when people compare the 2 more people are talking about Fury outboxing Usyk then they are outfighting him. Usyk being the shorter guy with the speed and angles is more likely to outfight Fury on the inside imo.

    I think Fury's key to victory over Usyk is his Jab and keeping Usyk at the end of it and put his weight on him when they clinch. If he allows Usyk to establish a rythm and dictate the pace, especially on the inside Fury has a slim chance due to his very long reach. FURY needs to fight a perfect fight to beat Usyk IMO. Anything less and he loses it all.

    If Fury stops Usyk, I'd assume he would of been out boxing him prior to that. Fury to me doesn't seem to be the type to sudden turn fights around when losing. He usually makes an adaptation, takes over and then breaks his opponent down.

    Usyk schooling Fury before knocking him out would be the bigger statement. That’s what I expect to see. Fury is going to go for the KO and get caught. Casuals will be shocked but people who know Usyk will not.

    It’s a 50-50 fight but Fury has struggled with southpaws and Usyk is as good a southpaw as I’ve seen at HW. Looking forward to this one, I’m a fan of both guys.

    Depends on the scoring for a UD or when a KO happens.

    Fury schools Usyk

    There were some HWs could KO Usyk in history but there wasn't a "homo sapiens" could school Usyk in history. This would be biggest achievement ever imo.

    Ok, but Caleb Plant would school Whitaker just because hes bigger. Size makes it much easier to outbox your opponent.

    I undertand where you're coming from but the Fury from the last Wilder fight won't be able to achieve half of what your stating.

    He will need to be in the best shape possible to negate some of Usyks attributes.

    This will beat close fight.
    He is fighting a top class man.

    I can't wait to see all these threads being bumped when Usyk 8-4s Fury.

    Usyk ain't no 39yo overhyped clincher nor is he a 35yo right hand with no boxing skills.

    Fury has no chance outboxing him. He's gotta use his size and rough house tactics, leaning on him tiring him out... But good luck doing that when Usyk is in out in a matter of milliseconds making him fall over his clumsy lanky feet over and over again. Usyks age and Furys size are the determining factors in this fight.

    I think stopping Usyk would be the bigger statement but I don't think either option is that likely considering Fury's last performance.
