    I am so glad for Usyk. Truly.

    A good man and a great HW champion

    So Fury has ben unaffected in your view by the years of food, drink, and cocaine abuse?

    He is the fighter he made himself out to be. You cannot prove that if Fury led a healthier life, the outcome of the fight would have been any diffrent. You can only assume, which means nothing.

    I say in the post it might have been a different story and that isn't the question I asked.

    I asked, did the unhealthy life affect his body?

    usyk is just better. for most of the fight he was just trying to keep fury burning energy. thats why he would press and move forward when fury was not punching, and he would cover up and back off letting him punch when fury would charge. knowing full well he was gonna kick it up when fury started to lag. when he did, usyk just controlled and hurt him.
    fury did manage to hurt usyk at one point, usyk let him tee off too much. he wont be making those mistakes in the rematch. he will hurt fury early, now that he knows he can and knows how he can. it doesnt go 7 next time.

    Usyk is indeed incredible . Fury gave all he had but usyk was still better .

    I think he will beat fury also in the rematch , even more clearly . Usyk is the best boxer of this era

    I'm sure his lifestyle did affect his body. Just like every other human. Can't say if it affected the outcome of the fight.

    If Usyk was 6ft 7in, 250 lbs, Fury wouldn't even be known, AJ would be bagging groceries at a local super market and Wilder would have been knock out of the sport 10 years ago. Usyk is the best HW of this generation. If, is the biggest word in the dictionary.

    The only reason Usyk won that fight is because Fury gave the first round away for free.

    He didnt win because he had the best fighting skills, but because Fury is the biggest clown in the planet.

    Usyk had no way to win the first round, it was as clear as day that he couldnt, and when Fury realized that, he had the awesome idea of giving it away for free because why not?

    That round costed him the fight. Had he fought the first round like any other round, Fury would be today the undisputed HW chamipon of the world without any doubt.

    You know what? **** HIM. Fury deserves every little bit of what has happened to him.

    I'm not sure if having a vagina instead of testicles constitutes squandered talent.

    I’ve told you LL Fury was just the fighter I picked to beat Usyk and he didn’t,he’s no hero to me,just a fighter who I thought could beat Usyk but he did not,well done Usyk and I credit him as such. Joshua v Usyk was never for Undisputed and there was plenty of interest in both of those fights There will be a rematch between Fury and Usyk I’m pretty confident about that,there is certainly both the monetary aspect to it and also no doubt the fans would like to see it happen again,when and how long well that’s another question .

    This doesn’t matter as almost all champions overindulge themselves on at least one thing if not many. Fury isn’t unique in that regard.

    No rematch. Your boy wasted his time. Usyk will retire, and will make Fury wait his rematch, just like Klitschko did. Hope Fury and his fans find that funny.

    That’s just your hopes and fanciful thinking as usual,no doubt we will know soon enough if there’s a rematch.
