Fury will imo lose to usyk, he will get schooled and even perhaps stopped late or get disqualified for extensive fouling. Fury will never be in the shape of his fight against vlad klitschko. That shape and style of fighting would beat usyk in a decision. Fury can't move like that anymore, has not the stamina anymore and more important not the hunger of then anymore. Usyk is faster, more agile, has seen way more styles and is mentally an absolute monster, has better stamina and way higher ring IQ. Fury is lazy, fed up and not even close to his physical best, and never will cause he damaged his body too much + he is mentally unstable, way more then when he fought wlad. Usyk will outbox and embarass fury if the fight happens, I am not sure if tyson will find some excuse to not fight usyk. Mark my words.
For Fury, his laziness and his fight with Ngannou said it all. Although he claims that he was well prepared for the fight with Ngannu. Now he won't be allowed to be so "well prepared". Now he will have to put blood, sweat and tears into training to defeat Usyk. Fury understood that his entire career and legacy were "at stake". And he's gearing up for a fight so maybe we'll see Fury fit like never before. After this fight, Fury will be remembered as the undisputed HW champion after a quarter of a century, or he will be remembered as an embarrassment that happened to the heavyweight division. Fury wins.
The Wilder 2 version of Fury was the best Fury , not the Klitschko version who weighed 250lbs. . That was never an optimal weight for a man Furys size. When Fury went Kronk he also changed his daily diet and began eating with military like precision under George Lockhart. For Wilder 2 he was heavier but also leaner , stronger and hit a lot harder. Wilder was being knocked all over the ring and to the canvas from single body shots. Fury will want to get back to that shape , not the skinny fat , light hitting version he was in 2015 https://talksport.com/wp-content/up.../Screen-Shot-2020-02-04-at-14.22.37.png?w=620 This content is protected
If Fury was at his peak, his skill combined with his size should be insurmountable for Usyk (and I rate Usyk a p4p better fighter, it's just that size matters). However I feel Fury is way past his peak and is heading toward terminal decline, with the poor lifestyle and wild weight fluctuations catching up to him; since Wilder III he has looked noticeably slower and his stamina is seemingly on the decline. I think after a tentative first few rounds Usyk's volume will overwhelm Fury, and I wouldn't be surprised to see a stoppage in Usyk's favour.
I would be supremely confident of the win if I was Usyk for two reasons: 1. He played with Joshua for 24 rounds and hardly gave him a lick. I would add in the way Joshua easily dismissed Wallin who gave Fury a real problem. 2. Fury has lost more than a step and will be lacking confidence after being heavily dropped by a novice and struggling to impress. If Usyk can get into his rhythm early enough I don't see him losing, especially if he can put some damage on Fury which I suspect he will.
Usyk has/will light a fire under his ass. . Im eager to see some training footage to see where's he's at
Yeah , surely you will see in officially published photos or videos his real progress and tactics... a bit naive ?
According to Fury the scales were rigged by K2 and Fury weighed 18 stone 4 or 256 lbs for Wlad. That's also more consistent with Fury's weights for Hammer and Chisora 2.
He was in excellent condition for Wilder 2 given the come-forward mauling style he adopted, he's always looked pudgy since then. Virtually 4 years ago now.
