Fury ducking Usyk is quite undeniable at this point

If Fury wins, I’ll have no problem acknowledging it straight away. Why wouldn’t I? I’ll never understand why so many people have problems with saying “yeah, I got that one wrong”. It’d be childish not to admit when one is wrong.

And although I’m quite confident Usyk will win, there are no foregone conclusions and I’m not a soothsayer either. “Why don’t you bet your house on it then” is a good advice for those who declare they have absolutely no doubts about the outcome of a future fight.

In my book, Usyk is the most complete and best active HW in the world. But that doesn’t make him unbeatable of course. We can talk about probabilities and odds all day, but there are no unbeatable fighters - never were, never will be.

 

That’s a perfectly reasonable request.

I recall I’ve listened to these interviews either late last year or early this year. I’ll look them up for you and link them here when I find them.

 

Funnily enough, I always see the same thing when it comes to Usyk's fights.

"Huck is a ruthless brawler, Usyk will be found out, especially in Germany" - Usyk wins by TKO
"Meh, Huck is over it, who cares. But Briedis is different from anyone Usyk ever faced, he will not disappoint the Latvian crowd" - Usyk wins by MD
"Okay, Usyk got lucky so far, but Gassiev is a heavy hitter, these Russians are built differently - Usyk will sleep in Moscow, mark my words" - Usyk wins by UD
"Gassiev is **** anyways. But Bellew was an HW contender, schooled Haye and has one punch knock out power - this is where Usyk's luck runs out, guaranteed" - Usyk wins by KO
"Bellew was overrated anyway. But Chisora is in better shape now than ever, and he is a pressure fighter, he will keep coming at Usyk who is too small to bother him - this CW will be found out" - Usyk wins by UD
"Chisora is and has always been a nobody anyway, but AJ battered Klitschko - this is deep waters now, AJ has heavy artillery the likes Usyk never faced before - AJ knocks him out in 4 or even less" - Usyk wins by UD
"Okay, AJ was trash in the first fight, but he learnt his lessons now, he knows what to do, and he will definitely deal with Usyk the second time around, just like he dealt with Ruiz" - Usyk wins by SD (which should have been UD again)

And after every single time, the narrative is "meh, fighter x Usyk just beat has always been overrated trash anyway, but the next guy will beat him, guaranteed!" It keeps happening after each fight Usyk is supposed to lose but ends up winning it still, again and again. Joshua was already supposed to be too big, too strong, and too HW for him. Everyone and their neighbours predicted how Usyk would get smashed. Even most Ring Magazine pundits were absolutely convinced he had no chance.

And now Joshua is suddenly a bodybuilder, trash, and overrated? Ridiculous. I remember well what the vibe was in all online boxing fan communities - Joshua, the second hardest punching HW, was supposed to end this "weak Holyfield 2.0". It was everywhere - on Reddit, on FB, on dedicated boxing forums. It's so childish that most act like that they always knew hos Joshua would get beat, how Joshua was overrated, and this and that and the other. But these are just blatant lies, of course, said by childish people who can't say "well, I got it wrong".

There's nothing wrong in getting it wrong - not admitting it is the problem. So you won't catch me backpedalling on my words - that's not something I do.

Usyk has been in the "proving wrong" business for quite a while, and I fully believe he will beat Fury. But if not, then not - wrong call, it happens, and I'll have no problem saying it like that. There are no foregone conclusions in sports, especially in HW boxing. Otherwise why have and watch fights in the first place?

 

I forgot to mention that it is what I'm also expecting from others. It is only fair that way.

Since we only discussed how I should and will admit I was wrong in case Fury wins, I trust that in case Usyk wins, you, miniq, MrBarry465 and other Fury supporters will be ready to give full credit to Usyk and admit that you were wrong.
