    Fury is just too big. If he had no other skills then Usyk could override that fact. But matching Fury's unique, high calibre skillset to his size will be too much for Usyk

    LOL. That's not what I asked you. Didn't ask you what Usyk's attributes are, asked you what advantages he has over Fury seeing as you believe he'd beat Fury.

    I can see usyk stopping fury. Not from power punches but from accumulation like cst80 said. The volume nonstop that usyk presents is something special.....

    I'm not ready to pull the trigger just yet that he could. I wanna see him stop some HWs other than Chazz. Him stopping Chisora would go a long way towards showing his power level at the weight.

    Well, Chisora fight really might show up shape Usyk now does have.
    Because it is too harsh judge Usyk power just from his fight vs Briedis, Gassiev, Glowacki, Hunter. Other boxers he had finished in distance.

    I enjoyed this analyses, very plausible-& creative.
    Kudos! Thing is, Fury has the advantage of both a boxing pedigree & skills, + he has lantently developed some of the virtues abailable from his pure size.
    Never a power puncher or much muscle for his size, but he is unusual in both being big without a gym body nor using his size for more than being a boxer-type...

    But now that he has found an aggressive style in confounding Wilder, he is working more angles, literally.
    While having become an excellent infighter whose bulk helps wear guys down & then impose himself.

    Funny to read all the "Fury is too big, he'll walk him down" posts from back then. Some people never learn.

    Usyk’s specialty is big dudes. At this point, I’d more more concerned about him against HWs more his size.

    Opetaia and Kabayel are his greatest tests, so I agree with you there.

    I think Tyson Fury has done what he could, he's got his health, family and money, its time to retire, he's talked about it before, now it's time. Usyk is just to classy of a fighter, let him have his time now.
