    Chisora is fairly crafty and always has that dangerous overhand which limits Furys offense.

    Fury just doesn't have that natural get them out with one punch power and that is even worse...that was probably the worst beating Chisora took and he could have made it to round 12 but it could cost him his life.

    Usyk seems to be pretty durable...Fury's lack of one hitter quitter power is his saving grace but he will still take punishment...

    Fury will trade with Usyk from mid fight onwards, open his own head and attack Usyk up and down. Usyk can't defend it all. He will be forced to ring circle away.

    Usyk has a very interesting inside defence and clinch game himself but Fury will exploit it.

    It was against Chisora. He never took this fight serious. Even looking like crap he dominated Chisora. What were people expecting? These two were making love and joking with each other in their press conference. They weren’t going to go all out against each other.

    I thought he looked good but it took a 268lb Kronk Fury almost 11 rounds to get a shot 38 y/o Chisora who turns 39 in a few weeks out of there even though he cracked him with thousands of flush power shots all night but when Usyk gets taken the 12 round distance against a 36 y/o just under 40lb heavier Chisora in the later's backyard he has no power despite the fact he didn't throw or land anywhere near the same amount of power shots.

    He was clearly holding off & stalling, basically a tame spar... it was plain as day .. if the fury that had fought wilder a second time turned up Chisora would not have made it past two rounds... I am certain of that.. he's head and shoulders above these guys literally and metaphorically.. everytime Chisora fights fury you can literally see the shellshock on his face.. with everyone else he is always full of beans & bravado but not with Fury

    Did you watch the fight ? Fury could have stopped the fight much earlier but backed up several times.

    Fury could have stopped that fight at any moment.

    This is a convoluted and dishonest way to essentially admit that Usyk performed much worse against Chisora than Fury did.

    No it isn't. Usyk received a lot of criticism for not stopping or knocking down the way bigger and heavier Chisora, Fury hasn't been able to drop Chisora once in three attempts and he could only get him out of there on corner retirements and mercy stoppages even though he's way heavier than Usyk. People were criticizing Usyk's lack of power after the Chisora fight but the truth is, as I've been saying for years, Chisora is crazy durable.

    Yes I did and I don't buy it. He cracked Chisora flush hundreds of times with full power shots. And if he did carry him administering a cruel prolonged beating to him over 10 rounds is a really nice thing to do for a friend when they're a few weeks away from their 39th birthday and shot and at the end of a very hard and punishing career.

    Trash fight. Total sparring session. Waste of time.
    Usyk is the only fight for Fury and should he win fight Joshua. That’s it. There is no depth to the division right now. It’s transitioning. The prospects are not close to being ready and there’s just not many guys on Fury of Usyk’s level to compete.

    He looked fine to me, was he 100%, obviously not but since his return he's really only looked 100% once in the 2nd fight with Wilder.

    Chisora has a style that was always going to be more problematic for him than Whyte. Chisora actually knows how to get inside on a bigger opponent as he's always been the shorter man, that's his style, while Whyte only looks good vs opponents who stand right in front of him, any kind of pressure forward, or movement laterally and he looks lost because he has awful footwork, remember when Joshua out boxed him and that was a Joshua who had terrible movement back then before the Ruiz loss, even Joshua crap movement back then befuddles Whyte. Fury was probably no worse than the version that fought Whyte but he had a harder style to deal with this time against Chisora.
