    I don’t know, however, I have noticed many people are now picking basically anyone and everyone to beat Fury now, all because Usyk beat him, but just because Usyk beat someone, that doesn’t show weakness in that fighter, it shows how good Usyk was, and not to mention, that 2nd fight was actually quite close, I had Usyk nicking it, he out-hustled Fury down the stretch, but while fresh, Fury was very competitive and there wasn’t much in it at that point.

    Foreman fought five live bodies in the 70s and on top of that, his stamina was trash. Fury would legit embarrass him worse than Jimmy Young did

    To be fair he did almost lose or did lose to an MMA fighter… like I get why his stock has plunged, I just don’t think it’s quite AS bad as it looks.

    Jimmy Young would be the HW champ today. This division was made for him to dominate.

    Fury is such a weird combination of a mediocre chin with ATG recovery ability. Not hard to knock down, but the ****er is going to get right up and back to boxing like nothing ever happened.

    Could be balance issues.

    He's so good on his feet though. Can't imagine he's got balance issues.

    That is moderators visiting Classic threads I have “all sorts of off topic garbage” deleted from our threads.

    If you’re having your posts repeatedly removed in volume, have a think about what kind of forum Classic is and whether or not you might be better off posting in General. The point is, you way have this decision taken out of your hands - entirely.

    Usyk obviously would keep Young from the championship among others

    Jimmy Young would beat Usyk by a fair margin.

    This pretty much sums it up. Fury is getting scrambled at some point in the fight and finished off

    Fury is an OCP for Foreman. MUCH bigger, lighter on his feet, faster puncher, much better boxer, much longer reach ... Foreman is SOL here. He may even get knocked out just like Chisora was.
