Tyson cracks that glass chin of Fury's. Too dynamic, too powerful. Fury hates to fight smaller dudes.
People forget that Fury vs Usyk was very competitive, especially the rematch. Usyk had to use all of the tools in his toolbox to get the W, Mike Tyson didn’t have all of the tools, he couldn’t counter the backfoot for sample. Fury was brilliant at timing that uppercut on a weaving opponent, which I see him doing here, and tying Mike Tyson up and leaning on him. This would be hell for Mike Tyson.
First fight was way more competetive. Usyk won at least 8 rounds in the second and has an argument for winning 11. Of course the first fight was also clearly won by the Ukrainian.
Fury doesn't get up after a prime Tyson hits him. That said, Fury's mandible is not probably classified as glass. He's one of these odd fighters who could certainly be put on the canvas - Larry Holmes is another example of this - but was very hard to keep there. This said, Tyson at his peak is one of the few who could. Don't forget he's the only man to stop Holmes.
Would be a very interesting matchup. Primes might be for Tyson Spinks fight for Fury second Wilder fight. Tyson never fought someone that good who was so big. Fury fought people with the same skill level as Tyson who were bigger also but not as fast as Tyson. So that’s the thing with Tyson’s speed will be hard to totally stop him. Fury however was a skilled cagey boxer with reasonable speed and mobility but immense size like no other. He would have a 55 lb weight and almost a foot height advantage for the fight as outlined here. Mikes not going to hurt him that easily. Fury survives tough going early and wins late by stoppage or by decision.
I felt Fury’s biggest rounds in the 1st fight were more dominant than his biggest rounds in the rematch, but I felt he nicked more rounds altogether in the rematch compared to the 1st fight. I’d have to watch them back, but I definitely remember feeling Usyk had won both fights.
The second fight has been tougher to score for the public, definitely. More confused, fewer clear rounds. 8 clear rounds in the first fight, 5 in the second and no clear rounds in the first four rounds which always sends people off on one.
