    Those were the same uppercuts that knocked Whyte out Usyk just has a chin

    I find that there was a bit more leather and twerk to the Whyte uppercut, Fury seemed more set.

    Whyte's jaw had long been cracked.

    If Fury push him after that uppercut, like he did with Whyte, for sure.

    I doubt it, Usyk is tougher than Whyte in every way...

    Fury should have a poem written and dedicated to him titled “IF”. Of course it would be the complete opposite to Kipling’s piece which was actually littered with highly applicable, wise gems. :D

    It's crazy, in real time it looked like a grazing shot. Usyk took similar or cleaner

    Exactly. It definitely was a push down but it also was a legit knockdown.

    Usyk took a bigger upper cut from Fury and it buckled him, that's all.

    We know Uysk can take at least a similar Fury uppercut, but could Uysk have taken the RH that dented Wilder's skull? Would Usyk have a dent or could his skull take it?

    I do think if Fury could string together a bunch of powershots in sequence he could KD or KO Usyk, but it's clearly hard to hit Usyk clean and consistently. Usyk isn't impossible to hurt or KO, it's just he's very good and very experienced at protecting himself and recovering. You can hear him mention this a number of times about the big shots Fury landed, both the uppercut and the bodyshot, how he immediately backed off and became careful. That just means he needed to recover from being hurt.

    If Fury had been the one to wobble Usyk and then unloaded like Usyk did, with that many free shots, I think Fury could stop Usyk. But anything less than a shot that puts him in real trouble, Usyk probably gets elusive and recovers.

    Joshua cracked Whyte's jaw, and Povetkin broke it all to pieces.

    Lol :lol:

    The uppercut that rattled Usyk a bit was harder than the shot that put Whyte in the shadow realm. 95% if Heavyweights wouldn’t stay upright eating the uppercut Usyk ate. That same shot would’ve DEFINITELY put away dubois, Ruiz and joshua. I think Zhang would’ve ate it though. Maybe Hrgovic.

    Ruiz has fairly solid whiskers too. He can take a heap of whoppers.
