Fury's Tank is Untested

Yep Fury clearly has hidden stamina problems

I think Fury has the best tank of any SHW, but it doesn't mean it's going to be better than a small HW or cruiser. It really shouldn't be better than a good-stamina smaller fighter by the laws of physics. So Usyk might be able to gas him, sure.

But Fury's tank has been tested pretty well at HW I'd say.

It was against Cunningham where he ground him down and that was a very active fight.

Also the Wlad fight might not have had too many punches, but Fury was on the move the whole time for 12 rounds. Wlad said he expected him to gas so he could knock him out. That was his experience at HW that fighters gas quickly, but Fury kept it up for the whole fight more or less. So that pretty much demos his engine as it resulted in Wlad making a tactical error.

Also the Wallin fight showed it as Fury was in a dogfight after the first few rounds.

There is that McDermett fight where Fury was gassed but that was when he wasn't training properly I suppose.

These days it's hard to know where Fury's endurance is too though, since he's heavier than ever and might not be during as much cardio since he's now a KO artist according to Hill.

 

None of you ugly muffins have clearly ever fought before (sorry you're annoying me now, clearly a troll thread)

A 200 pound man has to work twice as hard against a 300 pound man

Usyk's gas tank is as good as Fury but when he's fighting a man twice his size he will still get overwhelmed. This isn't a bumbling Chisora or plodding AJ.

Cunningham had never been stopped before the guy is game as anything and he was blown after 6 rounds. Wilder was blown after 1 round due to a panic attack. Usyk will get whipped up the body once and his legs will fail him.

The energy input is the same from both men and the energy reserve is the same, problem is the 300 pound man of Fury's calibre can converse more energy he doesn't have to work as hard to defend or attack, come down the home stretch Usyk will be struggling.

 

Go to the jungle and try to make a gorilla work and get your arms ripped off.

 

Fury has a very good engine for a big man. I don’t think Uysk will throw a ton of punches. Game plan most like will be lower output, pot shotting.

1. He’s getting older. It’ll be very difficult to maintain his usual frenetic pace at 36-37.

2. He doesn’t want to be in close quarters vs Fury. That’s where he gets clinched and mauled.

 

Klitscko, Wilder trilogy and Wallin fights coulde be enough to say ha has a good gas tank maybe not like Usyk and Joyce but however good. One of best around for sure.

 

Exactly, if anyone’s going to be having stamina problems, it’s the smaller man Usyk who will be ragdolled in the clinch for 36 minutes, not the big man Fury who is the one doing the ragdolling.

 

So Usyk goes the distance with someone who "isnt a 12-round fighter", but someone who is a 12-round fighter will have his tank tested???
Hmmm ok then, sure.

The only test here will be on Usyks legs holding that fridge off of him.

 

Fury will have problems with Usyks pace after 4 rounds.

There is nobody that can prepare Fury for Usyk.

People saw Wilder fights and think Usyk will be the same....

 

Although I'm not sure he will gas like you are, you have identified a real point of interest. It's not just the high volume of punches Usyk throws, but also the feints and subtle, constant movement. Fury's gas tank simply hasn't had to deal with that before, so it is an unknown quantity. Although Fury does move well for a 270llbs fat man, he doesn't move as well as the legend insists. It's inefficient and often for effect rather than to be effective.

Essentially, Usyk throws more, feints more and moves better than Fury. These combined are even more of factor if the ref clamps down on the jab and grab. Anyone who just dismisses all this as a potential influence on the fight is merely masking a concern...

 

Interesting, you usually turn to humour when discussing Fury. And yet this thread provoked a serious response...
