    HW is a weak division historically. One weak era vs another weak era. It's all the same.

    usyk is a great fighter, no doubt. p4p one of the great modern big men. but this era is indeed weak. usyk just keeps reaffirming he is elite, and the other guys proving they aren't. usyk would have his hands full against the package past atg hw fighters bring.

    I agree. AJ is a big pile of number 2.

    I think it is worth noting that while Fury did better against Usyk, he has not won a meaningful fight in two years.

    Usyk was able to dance around AJ as very little was coming back, and 80% of it was wooshing past rather than landing. I'm sure if Fury was such a stationary and slow moving target in the centre of the ring then Usyk would have danced again.

    Let that sink AJ will KO him. Chisora also think that AJ KO Fury easy.

    AJ lost to a 34 and 35 years old Usyk, who was in miles better shape and throwing 600 and 700+ punches in the first and second fight, and was moving a lot more, his speed was better, his reflexes was better, he was just all around better.

    Look at Usyk body, he weight less now, but it's a lot softer. Look at AJ 1 fight, he is ripped to the bone. He is clearly lost some muscle and gain fat to stay at that weight, and even a bit lower, as he was with jeans and chain.

    Fury couldn't beat a 37,5 years old Usyk with ref, judges, and the whole Boxing lobby behind him.

    He get a scorecards that was jokeable.

    I just rewatched the fight, and Usyk won this fight clearly 9-3, 8-4 with a KD, that should have been a KO.
    Fury receive almost a 20 seconds 8 standing count. He was helped by everyone, and still lost.

    I told you that Usyk will KO Fury, and i picked him to KO him, but we was robbed of that KO.

    AJ KO Fury inside 3 rounds. This won't be pretty. Absolutely demolition job.

    I agree with all that 100%. Just GOAT is asking a bit too much in my opinion.

    I think Usyk knew he couldn't throw as much as he did Vs AJ, Fury is a much better counter puncher and the rounds 4,5,6 were worse for Usyk than any round that AJ had, I was genuinely worried for Usyk for about 3 rounds, can AJ set up the shots as well as Usual can? No.

    Muhahhahaha. He had exactly 3 rounds where he look good, and was beaten soundly in the rest of the 12. Fury won 4,5,6 and then school time baby. Cry more buddy. Tomorrow will dig all of your ridiculous pre-fight post.

    Nqh bro he is way older and out of prime. He is almost close to shot. He was bouncing on his feet, like never before. When Klitschko started to fade, he start doing this, which is a clear sign of huge decline.
    He wasn't moving side to side at all. Look at AJ 1 fight. The faint was not there as well, and footwork was a lot worst, hand speed as well.
    Reflexes as well.

    All of Usyk attributes start declining heavily after 32-33 years. He was already past it in AJ 1, and he is getting worst and worst. AJ 2 was his last true good performance at 35 years old, but he is done now.

    He is so out of prime it's unreal.
    He should retire - Period.

    AJ is now faster and million time more explosive, it's also has huge reach and height over Usyk, weight as well. So AJ can just throw and then clinch if he miss.
    Also AJ needs 1 and Fury is gone.
    AJ beats him inside 3 rounds, mark my words. This fight may happen, but i expect Fury to duck the fight and to retire.

    I had him up 5-1 after 6. Usyk was being boxed silly and turned into Ray Leonard vs. Hearns.

    Usyk beating Fury is the equivalent of Inoue at 122 beating Crawford at 147

    Maybe not, but Usyk has been beating opponents who have 20+lbs size and reach advantages. Ali for the most part for smaller / same sized guys
