Are Fury and Usyk overhyped?

I fe they get overrated h2h but both are great boxers.
Usyk is an ATG for sure. Fury might be but he would need to do more.

 

Not sure overhyped is the word. If you're a world champion and beat somebody half decent to win that belt, then its not hype.

Maybe overrated. All they can do is beat the guys in front of them. Any talk of beating past champions is all speculation, obviously.

What we know is Fury should have at least 1 loss on his record, albeit many yrs ago and has obviously improved massively since.

Usyk beat the who's who of the CW division but didn't stay around to defend his belts. Beating Joshua at HW is a good win, maybe not great if you don't rate Joshua. You can't have it both ways.

Both monsters H2H in mythical matchups. Would love to see them fight each other.

 

Expand on this. What flaws are you referencing?

 

They're both god like entities in the world of boxing.

At their best they are some of the best boxers in history, Usyk more so on his pure technical ability whilst Fury also has physical gifts that are a new meta in boxing (stamina & movement for his size)

"Usyk gas no power for a HW" That's because he's a prime cruiserweight but he's good enough to exploit the physical flaws (which affect ability) many modern heavyweights have and can beat them which is an indicator of his ability. He could get clipped by AJ at any point and lose but he doesn't, if he does then it's not a black mark for him. He's going beyond already.

Both /fury & Usyk are literally 1 fight away from retirement, Fury claims he already is. No need to argue about them, they're already proven greats.

 

They are both very good but overrated on ESB.

 

Bro Fury would beat most all time great HW sure he has flaws but so does every fighter and as for Usky not having any power have you seen the AJ fight? He wobbled AJ and if it wasn’t for the bell could have KO’d him.

 

Fury is definitely over hyped the only wins he has that are truly noteworthy are Klitschko and Wilder ,the rest nah.Usyk is a great boxer but over hyped as a heavyweight

 

There was no to defend against other than Dorticos. And Usyk would have schooled him.

 

Not disagreeing with you but you saying he beats everyone at CW, so whats the point of fighting anyone else at that weight, is more speculation. Fact is he didn't stay around to defend his belts.

I'm not saying he's overrated but it's one argument you could use to say he is. He didn't defend his belts.

 

Or are you just pissed that your 'if Fury loses I will laugh' thread failed LOL

 

He beat the best. Who else was there to fight?

 

Ok.

Well what about Taylor vs Catterall? That's just 1 example of thinking somebody has cleaned out a division. Not many people backed Catterall.
