    I want to see Dark Usyk for this fight, assuming that shameless coward doesn't find a way to wriggle out of the fight again which is always a distinct possibility with him. I want to see Usyk hurt and thoroughly humiliate him and bury his career in the dirt and take his rodent fanbase with him.

    It's a shame the size difference is so vast and that Usyk isn't a massive puncher because I want deep gashes on his eyes, blood spewing out of his nostrils, broken bones, and a HL reel KO. I'll likely just have to settle for a slicking but in an ideal world I want carnage.

    I think Usyk will win he's faster and a much better boxer. If Fury tries to outbox him he will be way too quick and mobile. If Fury tries to use his weight to walk him down he will run circles around him. IMO Fury has looked a lot slower in his recent fights whereas Usyk has still looked great.

    As much as that'd be fine...

    I kinda want the clear UD schooling that's a much more distinct possibility.

    Not because I'd rather not see Fury humiliated but precisely because I think getting schooled to a wide UD would mean more... it'd show that Fury isn't the ATG skilled slippery fighter that he's been portrayed as - it'd be him being beaten on his home turf as it were, and I think that it would hurt him much more than getting blasted out.

    There is little risk in Fury losing in a glorified exhibition. That guys been greased anyway.
    Fury will come in at 280 in January when the fight will actually happen.
    And they won't call a body shot as a low blow in Saudi so when Usyk goes down he can use the low blow excuse later.
    They both will get a big pile of money and retire. Win win.

    Why such a fan of Usyk?

    He'll fight anyone, in their back yard with a host of disadvantages, and yet still wins.

    He's in the conversation for GOAT at cruiser and proving even at heavy that superior skills will overcome significant physical advantages - and I think he'll do so again against Fury.

    In this particular case... Fury is a bit of a clownshow on the boxing scene - he's not a great ambassador for the sport all told... as the pinnacle of the sport, an undisputed heavyweight champion, I'd far rather the clean and classy fighter be the one to carry that torch.

    Just look at how many more top fighters Usyk has managed to fight during a shorter pro career.

    The question is really how you not can like Usyk? A tremendously skilled fighter who always looks to make the best fights.

    One of Usyk's major problems will be getting within striking distance. Fury is tall and long and his jab will take a big toll.

    Simple enough...

    Plenty of boxing fans don't care about points or skill, they just want to see some fisticuffs and one bloke getting starched.

    If it were as simple as Usyk being the perfect fan-friendly fighter, then a fighter that's his polar opposite shouldn't be popular, right? But that fighter exists - Deontay Wilder - resume full of bums, limited technical ability, ducks anyone worth fighting, always fights with home advantages, etc... if it were as simple as you say, that fighter should have no fans at all - but it's not that simple, or rather some fans are simple enough to make it not that simple.

    In any sport there will be purist participants and fans of them - and there will be physical freaks, there will be cynical cheats, etc and fans of those too.

    We've been here before.

    I want Usyk to win, but expect Fury to win.

    His jab is good but Usyk is very good at taking away an opponents jab he did it with Joshua who is also taller and longer

    Good call but Fury and Joshua are very different beasts.

    I called Fury a duck, but it's clear he is just greedy for the highest pay day

    He will beat Usyk, have always believed so. I couldn't understand why he wouldn't sign. But he wanted this mickey mouse fight with Francis to milk money and it appears he will make mega money vs Usyk
