    Because Wlad let him off the hook(quite literally) and opted to play it safe and try to coast to a W. Joshua isn't surviving 3-4 straight rounds of getting beaten up.

    Bivol ?

    Way too small.

    He could make 168. Too much size difference.

    A younger Wlad would have stopped both of them.

    And if AJ hit Fury with his best uppercut it would be the end for Fury.

    Maybe. But Fury has shown good recuperative abilities throughout his career.

    Yeah, you missed that? They tried to put that together for awhile. I don't think it ever got serious, but Usyk said he'd do it at catch.

    I detest Fury and am an AJ fan.

    But if Usyk says Fury gave him the hardest fight then it's true.

    AJ is a big plodding bum who stood in front of Usyk and pawed out a range finding jab for 12 rounds. Nothing complex for Usyk to overcome. After 4 rounds in thier first bout Usyk stepped off the gas and didn't even need to step on it again even for the entirity of their rematch. He was turned ON for Fury the entire fight

    It's Usyk's own opinion. Regardless of how many try and accuse him of lying because that opinion doesn't suit them.

    Fury's best chance to win was the first fight, now Usyk has 12 rounds against him we'll see either a Usyk win by KO or a wide UD

    Thanks for the perspective, random nobody who wasn't in the ring to give said perspective.

    Regardless of if you have ever been a the ring before or not, nobody was in the ring fighting Fury on May 18th but Usyk and if he says it was his toughest fight, it was his toughest fight. The only person who can have HIS opinion is HIM.
