    After Fury Ngannou and Ngannou Joshua, I think Fury got a major wake up call. He was made to look a fool and has something to prove now. He might be training much harder than had none of that happen.

    Fury UD.

    No. It will have shattered his self belief and make him even easier to beat.

    usyk looks in excellent physical condition... right now and his camp is not even close to being over... he is already down in weight... he is gaining some muscle and perfecting his boxing and improving his resistance... usyk is going to be demolished

    I agree, he is looking sharp already
    Blessing in disguise for Fury

    He has historically performed best when counted out. I expect him to do the business and win with no controversy

    I was expecting to read (and thinking myself) that it would make Fury even more likely to find further excuses to not fight Usyk.

    In a sense, it's almost such a foregone conclusion that it's not necessary - and equally, as much as Usyks probably already beaten the second best fighter in the division, he's not fought very many times at the weight...
    His cruiserweight career already has him as a HOF lock and undeniable ATG (and potential GOAT, at cruiser) that he almost doesn't need the heavyweight undisputed - and there'll always asterisks alongside it in the sense that Fury was/is overrated and it's a very thin era to be undisputed in even if the fight does happen.

    You mean Fury?
    I don't agree about being demolished, but I think Fury will clearly win on points

    Fury is the likely favorite as long as body shots remain legal.

    Aj is Still the tougher style for Fury imo
    I'm not saying I would pick Aj, but I think he poses the much bigger threat if he is back to his more aggressive style

    I'm not disrespecting Usyk. Wonderful boxer and p4p the most talented of the 3, but I like Fury in this fight

    If Fury is smart he better be training hard. Usyk is very capable of making an out of shape Fury look like a fool.

    Usyk will be ready for anything Fury brings.

    It won't matter. Sharp weight gain and loss denudes the muscles, liver, heart and kidneys. At his age, he would be better off keeping the weight on.

    A good version of Fury is a tough out for anybody. Usyk is always a tough night out.

    We could be looking at a classic.

    Yes I've never understood that but it seems to be true. A large weight drop also seems to kill the punch resistance for some people.
