    Without his huge super-heavyweight size advantage, would Tyson Fury be able to beat the natural cruiserweight Oleksandr Usyk?

    Usyk. Usyk is better at boxing than Fury, clearly.

    He'll get his ass handed to him IRL though I fear.

    If Tyson Fury was a 200 pound midget he'd be twice as fast and much more capable than say a Briedis. He'd also have a third arm which is impossible to fend off.

    hypotheticals.

    Who's the best boxer Usyk has beaten as a pro?

    & how would Tyson Fury deal with that opponent with one arm tied behind his back?

    Usyk's main attribute being his foot movement would be seriously hampered with the additional height due to Usyk losing his lower centre of gravity.

    I think Usyk beats him now. Same size same result IMO.

    Usyk beats Fury without the need for being as big as him.

    Not if he were the same size. Gassiev, Briedis and would have beaten Fury easily if he was their size. John "Roll of Fat" McDermott" deserved to win a decision in their first fight, but Fury's dodgy judges bailed him out.

    At 6'2" or 6'3" Fury would never have won a world title.

    The answer is “it depends”, on if we’re scaling Fury down, scaling Usyk up, or scaling them both to meet in the middle.

    If Tyson Fury were to be scaled down to be able to box in the Cruiserweight category, I think you all know the answer.

    Usyk is a leprechaun slaying giants, Fury is a giant slaying leprechauns

    Fury been in the leprechaun slaying business since forever

    Usyk has never been in it

    Usyk will school Fury provided Luke stops ducking him and finally mans up to face “the middleweight”. If they were the same size, it would be an even worse night in the ring for Fury.

    Usyk is p4p the best fighter in the world, but will always look human at heavyweight.
