    Usyk is unproven at Heavyweight yet people on here thinks he beats Fury?! Did you see that man on Saturday night? Usyk hasn't been hit like that before...as soon as he does he will know the heavyweight game is a whole different league.

    He ain't even going to get past Del Boy mark my words.

    Seething at what? I wanted Fury to beat Wilder.

    I wouldn't bet against Usyk against anyone at HW. People citing the size difference, hes the same height as Hollyfield and Haye. Hunter is a inch smaller and he has looked great at HW and I would back him againstt the majority of the top 10 let alone Usyk.

    I disagree beating Wilder makes you number 1? Yes of course when AJ has beaten much better opponents than Wilder. Was i unhappy about Fury beating Wilder? No, i wanted Fury to beat Wilder because if Wilder would have won there would have no chance he would be allowed to fight AJ.

    The only man better than Wilder who AJ beat was WK and TF beat him much easier when he was the active champion.

    I'm not interested in Usyk. I know he's a very good boxer but let's see what he can do against the likes of Chisora or Parker or old man Povetkin before I have any interest in him facing Fury or Joshua.

    AJ defintely had a few more moments of success in his loss to Ruiz ..... but Wilder lost to a better fighter than Ruiz so it's hard to say he performed worse.

    Fury is just more awkward and slick


    Usyk is more technical

    Usyk would have the speed advantage.but fury would have the more experience at heavyweight and can make you miss your shots when he wants you too.

    I feel usyk would have his moments against fury however i also feel and see fury countering usyk and usyk vice versa but fury being able to capitalize more on counters and letting his hands go countering usyk better than usyk would

    Its a fight i would love to see for sure. I learned after last night not too under estimate fury at all. He finds a way to win

    With what he did to wlad one sided both performances against wilder in their backyards ....


    I will admit fury indeed could be the man and the heavyweight king of this era.


    However i am looking forward to seeing if usyk can dethrone him...

    I only have faith that AJ or Usyk can maybe beat fury


    However i still favor fury over both

    Usyk is a brilliant fighter but no way is he beating Fury.
