    They had 12 rounds with each other. Not sure why that is a specific advantage to either?

    Lol. You’ve got it ass up.

    The exact purpose of this thread was/is intended to placate those who DID, in fact, get it wrong, many of whom who also shamelessly made excuses on Fury’s behalf, after the fact.

    It’s a cope/bread crumbs thread. The obviously projected angst clearly does not reside with Usyk fans.

    It is false to assume a position that Usyk’s scant response to an on the spot, leading question isn’t open to some reasonable interpretation without bias.

    A fight isn’t a “Who”, btw and Usyk wasn’t specifically asked “Who” his BEST opponent was -

    By literally interfering with and impeding Usyk during his round 9 assault and then calling a KD to blatantly save Fury and rob Usyk of a TKO, the referee, NOT Fury, added to the “difficulty factor” and any obstacles Usyk was up against during the “Fight”

    Rather than accuse Usyk fans of “cherry picking” what they choose to believe and what not to believe, prove your own uniform acceptance of Usyk’s opinions. Stick your neck out.

    The Gospel According To Olek, which you are narrowly clinging to NOW, also dictates to you that Fury has proven himself to be a whiner, ducker and afraid of Usyk - attributes that are not becoming of a Great Man - and Fury concretely affirmed himself as a whiner, of the highest order, after the fight.

    Anyone with the attention span and comprehension of a gnat and/or in denial of the actual complexions and outcome of the fight need not reply with: -

    “Good Lawd, I’m nort readin’ all thart....” :lol:

    I only read the last sentence.

    Probably worth learning to condense your posts to more efficiently convey your point.

    Quite a few who post here could take that same advice on board.

    What they don't seem to comprehend is, most people are not interested in reading 4 or 5 paragraphs of waffle. If you have a point and can't make it in a few concise sentences you have failed and nobody is going to read your extended, disjointed sermon.

    I can believe that Briedis was his toughest fight (Usyk's team have said this before, haven't they?): Briedis was 33, Usyk was 31. They were roughly the same size (Usyk slightly bigger). Both bang in their primes and it was an MD.

    But I can also believe Usyk now thinks Fury was his toughest fight: Fury was 35, Usyk was 37. Fury is a lot bigger. Usyk is way off his prime, and it was an SD.

    Athletic endeavours get more difficult in our late 30s

    usyk is an amazing fighter. What he has done to just move up to heavyweight and beat big heavyweights is impressive.

    Correct. The Briedis fight was Usyk's toughest up until that time. He said so himself but he has since confirmed Fury is his toughest fight. Usyk also said of Fury :
    "I respect Fury because he's a great fighter, great man, very smart."

    Lol. My post was fine. Yours, clearly not so. Nice duck. Not.

    You shouldn’t have bothered replying with your own useless post - as I already, preemptively suggested.

    But no, in all ignorance, you still had to post some follow up “words” devoid of any valid points.

    Clearly your own reading/comprehension is compromised if my post was an alleged “overload”.

    But of course, you didn’t just read the last sentence - you read the lot - you simply avoided any convergence with sound points.

    Another useless, indirect post from yourself also - but you’re always mindful to get those last words in - notwithstanding the hot air contained in each and every one of your last word posts which read like a broken record.

    What you’re not comprehending is your clear signalling (legit or in cover) of your own limited reading and comprehension abilities.

    None too surprising since you and the poster above are both heavily biased, avoidant Fury fans. Your posting histories attest to that.

    You’re both superficial and woefully inadequate in your platforms and, tbh, you’re both unable to debate your way out of paper bag - the answer to your own problems isn’t dumbing” down the discourse just to suit you, the minority.

    At any rate, I’ve clearly interrupted a mutual support group here. :lol:

    Well said. But, of course, the point you made re athletic endeavours becoming more difficult with age in its own right - opponent notwithstanding - has been ignorantly bypassed…yet again.

    No question about that and particularly in high energy, high impact sports like boxing. That said, heavyweights often mature later and fight on to more advanced ages than fighters in the smaller weight divisions.

    Just trying to give you constructive feedback.

    And to clarify, I only scrolled past the wall of text you posted. Your posts are so long it's downright tedious to read. I'm not wasting my time.

    Nonsenses. And Usyk ain't natural HW for today standard. All of Usyk attributes are age related and he is a shadow of himself. You need good eyes and to be unbiased to spot it though. And you have neither.

    Yep, sure.

    My posts are not tedious. They’re not walls of text. They simply contain points you cannot refute.

    No, you weren’t trying to give constructive feedback. My feedback has been great save for a few disgruntled Fury fans in more recent times.

    Go figure.

    Again, if your own reading, writing and comprehension levels are so challenged - which they very much appear to be, then that’s clearly your problem, not mine.

    And you just wasted your own time, yet again, replying with another pointless post.

    In fact you initially replied to a post that wasn’t even addressed to you so that you could falsely state that you only read the last sentence of said post. Mate, is that the best you can do? Lol.

    But great, don’t waste MY time with any more of your own vacuous, falsely framed replies.

    It would be rare anybody here does waste their time reading posts 5 and 6 paragraphs long. Particularly when they already know they are only going to be reading the same old stuff regurgitated, over and over again.

    If you can't write something concise don't bother and if you do, don't expect anybody to read it because if it presents as nothing more than a word bomb, nobody will.
