    Fury is going to punish Usyk for calling him a borracho, he will make a burrito out of him.

    I'm fine with whoever wins between Fury and Usyk. Both are excellent boxers.

    Both will show grace and humility in loss...and either one of them could easily win the rematch.

    Usyk couldn't knock out Joshua or even Chisora but he's gonna stop Fury!? Why would anyone think let alone say that!?

    Hope away.

    If he were to achieve that, he'd get a huge kudos from yours truly.

    It would be incumbent upon most of Fury's execrators to be much less effusive in receiving the feat, though, given that they tend to speak of him as if he were no particular force of nature.



    When Fury wins, it will be excuses, to be followed by catcalls about ducking Joe Joyce, of course.

    Yes that was classless on the interviewers part. That guy was a twit.

    I hope Fury doesn't duck him.

    One of them will throw a childish tantrum for years when he loses. the other will return to his war-torn country.

    Will be sad to see either of them defeated, but if they're willing to fight, it's inevitable.

    Blinded by their dislike for a certain fighter. It's rather juvenile and therefore you can hardly have meaningful discussions, it is what it is.

    I think 2020 Fury would beat Usyk, but Fury is slower now that he was. He looks way easier to hit and that's the difference.

    I don't see it the same way, but that's a fair opinion. I can't disrespect that.

    Fair enough but he did seem far easier to hit in the 3rd Wilder fight which is why he almost got KO'd.

    It seems clear that he's lost a considerable amount of agility if not ability. His brain and skills are still there as well as his chin and power, but his speed and reactions are noticeably slower.
