    McDermott and Wallin did too. That's why the ogre is so selective. He knows he lost those two fights and is terrified he won't be so lucky with corrupt judges for a third time.

    Fury IS NOT a big puncher.

    You failed on the first sentence. Wilder has no chance whatsoever of knocking Usyk out. None.

    The key to Wilder being undisputed depends on the ring custom that he wears.

    THE END

    Since Usyk is some sort of super-sayan southpaw android demigod, I would say Fury is right to duck him.

    I like your logic oddly.

    I just don't see it. Usyk didn't even put Joshua down. You may say "he didn't need to" but I'm not sure.

    Usik would first have to get past Fury and that would make him undisputed champ (right?)

    Like I said in the post. Wilder could beat Usyk making him unified, and then it would be Fury vs Wilder 4 for the undisputed.

    Gotcha! But I need to ask why do we need Fury-Wilder 4?

    Ok we had Pacquiao-Marquez 4 so NVM ..lol

    In case Wilder beats Usyk people will have to admit he's however a good boxer - true, one-trick, but... Or some totally lack of objectivity *rons who pretend to comment fairly (like spravedlivylev) will say that being the undisputed in this era means nothing, while have been ready to shout everywhere if Usyk would've become one.

    I don't think that it will happen, yet stranger things have happened for sure

    It's been clearly demonstrated by different fighters that you can box the head off Wilder forever and he can still chin you in a heartbeat

    However, Wilder's speed gives his power, and speed goes first

    And there's no reason that Usyk cannot finish Wilder. A more precice Fury could have done it a dozen times earlier than he did

    Because if Wilder has 3 belts and and Fury has 1 then the undisputed fight can only happen one way.

    TBH the only way I can see Wilder beating Fury now would be to outbox him. I could be wrong but in the first fight he dropped Fury who promptly got up and went to a draw. Going for the knockout has proven futile for the Wild one (that said, I havent seen fights 2 or 3)
