    Fury will win. Too big, too talented. This will be more one-sided than people imagine.

    He befuddled the second longest reigning heavyweight champ in history and won a clear decision if that's not schooling what is

    It's almost shocking that people watched Dubois fight and still think Usyk can easy win fight against Fury.

    I know that i will get a funny reply for even quoting you, but Usyk literally won every single round and outside of the 20+ lowblow from Dubois, what exactly did Dubois land on Usyk.
    Usyk beat him comfortably and KO him with a jab.

    And here is the deal, Dubois and Fury are nothing alike. Dubois is young hungry lion, who can put his punches greatly into combination, has great speed and explosiveness and his power is easily top 5 in the division.

    But i can easily counter this post with, how can anything thing Fury has any chance, when he was schooled by Ngannou, lost to McDermot, and Walling busted him terribly + hurting him huge time in the 12 round.
    Or when Cunningham and Pjakic or whatever his name is floored him, when they cannot even be clarified as light punchers ...

    The only reason you speak highly of Dubois is because Usyk beat him. If Fury fought Dubois, you'd be calling him a bum.

    Belly via robbery or via some kind of shady shenanigans, including inside the distance, is the safe bet. You'd have to be an extremely naive blind fool not to expect this given everything we've seen. Not saying it will for sure happen, and I really hope it doesn't, but you can't blame anyone for being cynical given what we now know.

    Yep you remind me that your fanhero doesn't even dare facing young guy like Dubois, but it's happy to fight 40 years Chisora and an MMA guy that busted his face badly and everyone knows beaten him.

    You used to call Dubois a can but anyway...

    Good thing Fury is facing Usyk next week then. Because afterwards, you will have to cope with the fact that Usyk lost to someone who is a terrible fighter according to yourself.

    Yeah let them fight first and then we will see. :D

    And most importantly Usyk lands in the building safely:

    I've long thought the key to this fight is the range its fought at.

    If Usyk is allowed to fight anyone at mid range for the majority of it, I consider him borderline unbeatable, his movements and IQ are outstanding, he fatigues his opponents with the pressure of always being in range.

    It's an absolute must for Fury that he fights this fight at only long range and short range.

    Long range off the jab and check left hooks, and then when he does throw the right he either moves back out or follows it through into the clinch, a repeated clinching and pushing back of Usyk into the ropes with roughing up and leaning.

    It goes without saying that Fury must target the body and that he must be very aggressive at the right times. He has to make the fight stop / start, stop / start without too much flow until the times it suits him.

    If Fury stands off Usyk and fights that mid range fight like Joshua and Dubois did then Fury cant win this fight imo, it says everything that strong powerful fighters like Joshua and Dubois know the game plan to beat Usyk but they cannot implement it on him, its suggests that Usyk has more pop in his punches than people realise and that his foot movement and angles are truely elite. Joshua and Dubois were barely able to clinch Usyk and put their weight on him which says a lot about how good Usyk is.

    The difference between Fury and the likes of Joshua and Dubois is that Fury has a vastly superior boxing IQ and versatility to find a way with plan B and C, and I take Fury to win a 116-112 type of decision.

    Saying that, if either man is dominant in implementing his fight strategy, i think there is a much higher chance than people realise of either fighter getting stopped in the later rounds, for me the key to it all will be which fighter can control the range that the majority of the fight takes place at.

    I think the people predicting a stoppage win either way are barking up the wrong tree.

    Neither guy is a particularly big puncher and they've both got rock solid chins and recovery. Feels unlikely that anyone will be KO'd.
