    Gotcha. I have the same guys in the top 5 but just in a slightly different order (Usyk 2nd and Joyce 3rd).

    I honestly believe Usyk will come undone if a real heavyweight puts it on him

    AJ is a bodybuilder. I was expecting more from Usyk in the 2nd bout and he didn't have it. Don't think AJ did any better either like some claim. He had a moment or two where the crowd overreacted like he had Usyk badly hurt but he didn't. Usyk just stayed dipped down knowing if he came back up he might be open to a hook.

    The only way to truly know who is the better fighter of the two is for them to actually fight and see who gets his hand raised,you saying Usyk is the better fighter is only your opinion .

    Simple 40:40. The winner gets the remaining 20.

    Just fight already . This is getting boring.

    Just have to keep posting this

    No belt Fury refused to fight the three belt unified king AJ for less than 50/50 when AJ was the far bigger draw and he was a clear B side.

    Fury wants the three-belt unified king Usyk, the current P4P#1, the former undisputed CW king, Olympic gold medalist, world amateur gold medalist, and European gold medalist to not only risk losing all three of his belts in one fell swoop in his country where everything will be stacked against him and in Fury's favour (and the chances of him getting robbed are high even if he does do enough to deserve the win) to bend over and offer him his backside?

    Usyk is well known and popular over here in the UK and his commercial appeal has obviously increased big time after beating AJ twice and he's already giving away massive physical advantages to Fury as it is. But despite everything he's bringing to the table, the huge physical advantages he's giving away, and agreeing to fight Fury in his backyard where everything will be stacked heavily in Fury's favour, he's supposed to take a huge pay cut on top of all that and all for the chance to win one belt? :facepalm:


    And all because of Fury's greed. Fury should be crucified on a molten cross if this fight doesn't come off.

    Nope the one the Saudis offered to him and he accepted
    Fury is the one who ain't happy with his
    It's the Saudis handing out the money
    They just wont be held to a gypsy randsom

    You do know that the Saudis sent separate deals for the Undisputed fight to both Usyk and Fury,without knowing the contract details hence why I asked if you had any info regarding what the contracts stated. Fury’s team posted a draft contract to Usyk on 8/1/23 but are still waiting on a reply and yet again nobody knows what this draft contract stated either. So at this point in time to accuse either fighter of ducking without knowing the details is at the least jumping the gun and also seeing things the way you want them to be .

    It's been a long while since it's very clear that fury doesnt want to be in the same ring as usyk.

    Usyk should ignore fury and look for another oponent. Easy as that.

    It's not like we needed further proof of your remarkable inaptitude for understanding boxing but nice of you to keep providing the evidence nevertheless.
