    Im not sold on Fury's insane skills. He had agility for a big guy, good feints and heart during fights.
    Usyk is way more skilled.

    I think Usyk does. When was the last time you saw Usyk getting bewildered and caught left and right by a guy like John McDermott?? Also Usyk has never been dropped in the pros. And I know much of that has to do with a good chin. But it also illustrates the fact that Usyk outthinks his opponents while never getting surprised with anything.

    Not trying to **** on Fury. He’s a very good heavyweight and utilizes his size well. But Usyk is the smarter fighter. We’ll see this in a few months.

    Let's be real. Usyk has very very good ring IQ. But I have seen similar IQ from the boxers of the same size. I have not seen anyone using his skills and ring IQ at the size of Fury.

    That's the difference, but I still think Usyk would beat current Fury, he is not the same after that last Wilder fight.

    Tyson Fury's boxing IQ is average at absolute best.

    Shrink Fury down to the size of the average MW and you'll see how ridiculous it is calling him a P4P contender.

    Shrink Usyk down to the size of a MW and he still looks great and championship material

    Fury’s IQ extends only as far as being a fat fake gypsy f*** who leans his pudding belly into undersized opponents.

    If Usyk stays away he’ll box Fury’s ears off.

    P4P concept is ridiculous. Shrinking people down ... it's that that's fkin ridiculous :lol:.. but even if we were to imagine Fury or any HW as a MW .. it would make them a completely different fighter because all of the attributes of being a big man & the style they built around it would disappear.. you think you could just imagine chocolatito as a HW? No. Because the idea is ridiculous, HWs can't fight like Flyweights. For obvious reasons I shouldn't have to explain. Fury is a dick, but I think he beats Usyk, & should get all the props for it & vice versa.

    Ranking Fury in the P4P list is ridiculous because he does nothing exceptional skill wise.

    That's why the P4P rankings exist though

    "....if they were all the same size...."

    One does not refer to Fury as Tyson.
