    No.
    That's your hero words. Go watch his post fight press. He is a coward, and bad for the sport. He should fight AJ, as people want to see who the better man is. We already know who the better man is between Fury and Usyk.

    Usyk is 37 Fury will soon be 36 so both are old. Usyk is just better.

    "God gave Fury everything, but Fury didn't have the discipline"

    Saying that the fighter with a MASSIVE height, reach and weight disadvantage didn't win because of skill is wild.

    Ring IQ and pacing are skills, ergo Fury lost because he was less skilled. End of story.

    It is a fact, that skill wouldnt have won the fight hadnt fury acted like an idiot. That skill was necesary, but it would have been completely useless hadnt Fury acted like a clown. That's a fact, not an opinion.

    Um Tyson Fury was never good. Even at his best he was barely beating a 40 year old Wladimir Klitschko. At his best Fury was getting in the ring with a punch shy 40 year old Wlad who wasn't throwing many punches back and yet Wlad still looked horrible. All he did was run and throw slapping arm punches for 12 rounds and landed 85 punches in 12 rounds.

    Then you look at Usyk. This guy is pushing 40. He rarely gets in the ring. He fights 1 time per year. At heavyweight he has beat old Chazz Witherspoon, old shop worn Derek Chisora and didn't even look good doing it. Which is funny since David Haye another blown up cruiserweight destroyed a prime Chisora. Some how this got him a shot at the heavyweight title against Joshua who was just knocked out by overweight Andy Ruiz. Could you imagine a prime Foreman, Ali, Holyfiled, Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, Larry Holmes etc being destroyed by Andy Ruiz?

    So Usyk beating a mentally damaged Joshua that most people here will tell you is nothing more than a PED using body builder when it benefits them. Then Usyk beat Daniel Dubois a guy who has done nothing worth mentioning as a pro besides almost be stropped by Kevin Lerena. Then Usyk beat Fury. A overweight druggy hype job who has done nothing with his career besides beat a 40 year old Wlad 8 years ago and beat Deontay Wilder a guy everybody here will say is a horrible fighter until it benefits them

    So Tyson Fury always looks this way., The fact that he was betterered around the ring by blown up light punching cruiserweight is pretty hilarious. Old 43 year old Foreman who had twice as many fights a Fury was able to bombs thrown by Tommy Morrison a murderous puncher without being fazed. Even at 48 Shannon Briggs another steroid cheat punches had no effect o him. Yet Fury was almost stopped by Usyk? Funny stuff.

    I have heard your cries for help, and I offer you my services. You are not the only one to have been locked in a dark basement as a child, with nothing more than rat feces and fish heads to eat. Many of us here have risen above such circumstances, and you can too - if you want. You don’t have to be condemned to being the person you are now.

    That's what seperates the great fighters from the good fighters. Uysk had that extra level to his skills etc.....imagine Uysk was Fury's size with those skills....would have been an obliteration!!!

    The tragedy here is that Wlad Klit didn't throw more jobs and lost to Fury. Had Wlad fought a halfway decent fight Fury would have been swept into the dustbin of boxing history and we all could have been shielded from his lying ass self, his crap bouts vs D level opponents (Seferi, Pianeta, Wallin, Scwatz, Whyte,Chisora, while avoiding his most dangerous opponent AJ, AND his trashy father all these years.

    I agree that Usyk is better, though Usyk will be closer to 38 by the time Fury turns 36. But Fury's hope will be as Usyk gets ever older his ability to go through the gears will decrease. I really expected Usyk to take charge of the championship rounds like he did with Joshua and many before him. But I don't know if he physically can keep that old pace. He is bound to be on the decline with his style aged 37. It's not going to get any easier from here on out

    He will always beat Fury and Fury knows it too. I doubt he invokes rematch clause. Floyd was 38 when he took 36 year old Pacquiao to school.

    I think you have a skewed and very one dimensional view of the sport.

    It is a fact without corruption Fury would of lost on all 3 cards instead of two.
