No way does Fury fight Usyk now. Wait for a new injury.

    First of all, I know...styles make fights...Fury didn't train..blah, blah, blah. The reality is that a guy who lost twice to Usyk just destroyed the man that humiliated Fury, and that is where we are.

    Styles make fights, but there are styles, and levels, and Usyk is just playing on a different level. And I am not so sure that Fury walks in with a stylistic advantage against a southpaw who is capable of throwing almost a thousand punches in a fight in the first place. He ain't going to win it by throwing 12 more jabs. He is more likely to finish dozens of punches in the hole.

    As for Fury not training for the Ngannou fight, training isn't going to do him any good. Years of yo-yo weight gain and loss, drug and alcohol abuse, PEDs, and very occasional hard fights have taken there toll. It is a medical fact that the weight fluctuations break down the muscles, and are terrible for the heart, liver and kidneys, and at some point, it actually becomes beneficial to keep the weight on.

    And there's the cuts. That scar tissue doesn't heel.

    No way in hell does Fury go through with this. There is going to be another manufactured injury, probably followed by a retirement announcement.

    I thought Fury looked about as good in that suit as we have seen him in a long time. It wouldn't suprise me to see him be the thinnest we've seen since his bout with Wlad for this fight with Usyk.
    Fury might be a knucklehead, but he isn't dumb, and no way he turns down that pile of cash.

    Like my very first prediction, if the fight happens fury will be disqualified for intensive fouling, so he can go in with his bad talk and live in his dream world where he can say he was betrayed by the referee and Ukraine. Usyk will embarrass fury big time and school him bad.

    Usyk and joshua are levels above everyone. Fury would get smoked by joshua

    Nah. Fury would rather lose than hand over the 10 million dollar fine to Usyk.

    Shows Fury's ego has grown while his skills have gone backwards.

    I think it will happen, Fury looks in good shape and he wouldn't bother to do that if he had no intention of fighting, the man by his nature does as little as possible. So I think the desire is there to fight Usyk and prove people wrong which lets be honest Fury does a lot, he's the most unpredictable champion ever and if you expect him to pull out chances up he'll show up just to be unpredictable, lol.

    I agree and I have thought all along that he wouldn't have the courage to step in the ring with Usyk, I thought the crazy money, may just do it but not even that anymore. Dude's a fraud.

    Nah, I think he goes through with it because that's the chance to come out on top. If he beats Usyk then he outdoes AJ again.

    Fury has the raw talent. The question is whether he can whip himself into a proper fighting shape after living the life of a slob for so long.

    I still think the biggest issue Fury will have is the skillset, IQ and movement of the fighter opposite him. It's a LONG time since Fury fought Wlad, and Wilder, Whyte, Chisora & Ngannou are all levels below what Usyk brings to the table.

    His activity has been patchy, but his level of comp has not been great - and Wallin, a bang average southpaw, dispatched in a perfunctory fashion by Joshua gave him a lot of trouble.
