    Tyson FUry can outbox him. He outboxed Klitschko with ease. Plus Tyson would have a huge reach, and a beautiful jab, and Tyson's footwork isn't any worse than Usyks. so if tyson gets his crap together, gets in good shape, he can beat him 100%.

    As above Fury at his best is the only logical answer. He'd try to just bore a victory off the jab. Not 100% convinced it'd work but he's the only one with a chance.

    Getting hurt early changes everything. He can be outboxed by HW's, certainly.

    He’s a joy to watch. I think Joshua and a fit and firing Fury beat him, simply because their physical advantages will tip the scales, but neither will be outboxing him.

    I hope he makes a proper splash in the heavyweight division.

    He can be outboxed by an in-form Tyson Fury. That's it.

    I suppose if you’re utilising your height and reach it’s still outboxing the smaller man.

    Yeah, I know. It just doesn’t sit right with me.

    I would consider Usyk to be the vastly superior boxer, but the harsh reality is that because of height and reach, he may well be “outboxed”.

    It just feels dirty saying it, when Usyk is potentially on the receiving end.

    Honestly, I'm not sure I'd even go with Fury at the moment. Fury has always been clumsy and prone to getting hit, and a man of Usyk's calibre can never be counted out.

    Fury might never get back to the heights again.

    Usyk vs Fury would be a rough fight fight. Lots of holding and inside elbows from Fury. I think Usyk would be able to make it past Furys jab and land some shots coming in. But Fury can fight on the inside well despite how lanky he is. I would love to watch this.

    he has a solid chin and he cannot be outboxed. only a fully on form Tyson Fury even has a slight chance.
