    Well… sure I would imagine! Fury is a very good boxer who is 6’8 and over 260lbs with an 85 inch reach. Lol! I wonder if Fury will admit Usyk was his toughest fight after all the **** he said about him….

    He's wrong? He was the one in there and it's his opinion.

    If there was a man born and deserving to beat Tyson Fury it's for sure Oleksandr Usyk

    Their man Usyk has challenged their anti Fury narrative and totally snookered them.

    I'm worried that Usyk being in a movie with the Rock might start getting to his head and he starts enjoying his new celebrity status which will be good news for Fury who will be up for the rematch and better prepared. Hope Usyk doesn't become like Ruiz.

    Apologies - I somehow missed your reply.

    I don’t think it’s hyperbole - I think there’s fair argument for Usyk having deteriorated in equal measure at the least - and I gave a few reasons as to why I believe same.

    But respect for your opinion all the same.

    Lets face it, Boxers talk up there wins because it adds to there legacy, Fury said for years no one else beats Wilder, Wilder fights 2 more top heavyweights... and loses them both, whilst not securing a knockdown in either.

    Good point.

    Usyk appears to be nearing the point of divesting himself of all the years of disciplined focus and training that he has put in - perhaps transitioning to retirement, so to speak.

    He appears to be reflecting more (at least publicly) on the many sacrifices he has made to finally reach the top of the mountain.

    Nothing wrong with that - but don’t be half in, half out. Just retire now, if he’s looking to taper it down.

    Though I don’t think Usyk could ever blowout as badly as Ruiz did and I also don’t think Fury could be better prepared than he was for their May fight.

    Watch as people now try to explain how Usyk doesn't know who his hardest fight was ... because they were completely wrong in their judgement of the fight and of Fury's ability.

    Have a feeling if Usyk said AJ was his toughest fight it'd be different.

    There's less hate here for Joshua so the backlash would have been less. That Usyk named Fury has caused 10 pages of angst from a particular demographic so far, with no relief in sight.

    I seemed to remember he endured quite a lot against Wlad to get the win and he hit way harder than Fury.
