The Cunningham fight was more than 7 years ago, Fury has improved immensely since then. If you think Usyk can beat Fury how about enlightening us all about how many advantages Usyk has over TF ?? Because from were I'm sitting he has none.
Yeah. He does have some, Fury still is enough smart to reduce these. What is interesting that looks Fury is improving and he is capable to think and improve even during fight.
Stylistically I don’t see how Usyk has any success here. He’s not a big, physical Wallin type that can take the fight to Fury and rough him up. If Usyk tries to get inside Fury will tie him up, lean all over him and rag doll him. Too big and strong. Usyk would most likely dance between the outside and mid range while trying to pepper Fury with jabs and combos, might win a round or two before Fury either walks him down Cunningham style or just jabs his face off from the outside. Fury by stoppage around the 9th.
Lmao deluded. Usyk never tries to fight big men on the inside. Go and watch some tape of Usyk... Fury beats him up late fight. This content is protected Easy work. Usyk's outboxing is good, but not good enough. You need to have a dog fighter in you to keep Fury off you for 12 rounds. Usyk would do ok early but then it's a slow downhill fight. Fury is a 270 pound man with a 12 round gas tank. Usyk is a 220 pound man with a 12 round gas tank against men his own size...but not when he is fighting a man much much bigger than him.
I think we may be a little wiser regarding Usyks chances in the top echelons of the heavyweight division after he has faced Chisora. Chisora is a big ol unit, has had full training camp, is motivated and giving impression he is in top shape, of course Chisora is not tall, fast and have Furys skillset, but is still a challenge however and will pose a few questions for Usyk If the Usyk of the Witherspoon fight was facing Fury then there would only be one winner Fury. However Witherspoon was a replacement on 4 days notice so Usyk had prepared for Spong but ended up facing Witherspoon, plus there had been 11 month lay off from Usyks last fight, all possible reasons/excuses for not being perfect on the night.
Awful, awful match-up for Usyk, who I love like a long lost brother and who I think can really make a mark at heavy. But he should stay the **** away from Tyson. Tyson is really good at the things he is good at and he is massive, massive compared to Usyk.
He wasn't even able to walk Wallin down. He ran out of gas and got hurt. Now, after he did this to Wilder he automatically walks down every fighter in history? Lol Romanov walked Wilder down easily as well. Fury is not bad, but he is being overrated by a vocal minority.
Oh, some percentage of fans evalue boxer only if he finish opponent in distance. Nowhere Fury had been gassed out vs Wallin. Yeah, Wallin managed to punch him with some strong punches and also damaged Fury. Fury get very serious cut and continued fight carefully in order not to get cut opened again. Therefore fans assume that Fury is weak but I see smart version of Fury in this fight. Disciplined, cold and smart Fury defeated Wallin. No offense here, Wallin looks that is a bit too undervalued.
I’m amazed at the amount of people picking Usyk in here. I don’t think he could beat Fury once if he had 10 fights with him.
I really think it's quite amusing just how much some of you jerk off over Usyk without him proving himself at all at Heavyweight. The fact that this thread is being made in the first place is silly. Let the man fight someone of worth in HW before judging. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying lets see the evidence first.
I'd fancy Fury but am getting quite impatient to see fights like this. Usk is nearly 34, Fury is 32, both have been slowing down for a little while now, fans don't need Floyd-Manny type fights when the fight turns on who is the less shot.
