    How do u see this fight playing out if it were to happen? Fury would be a healthy favourite but could Usyk make it interesting? **** loads of ring IQ on display either way..

    Interesting matchup. At first glance it appears Fury is too big and long for Usyk. But, you cannot rule out Usyk due to his boxing IQ.

    Usyk got touched up in his last fight I don't think he gets past Fury

    Chisora has more power than Fury and Usyk took his power easily, actually Usyk took Chisora`s power better than Derek took Usyk`s power.

    I feel Usyk will score a lot of counters timing Fury`s jab, Fury over commts while jabbing and looked bad against an inferior southpaw in Wallin.

    Fury looks not the best vs fast skilled guys who can move, for example wallin and cunningham.
    I think fury is to big for usyk but it would be a very difficult fight for fury and uayk imo has a legitimate chance to win.

    Wallin was a come forwards brawler that fight was a war, Wallin can`t move anything like the way Usyk can and he`s nowhere near as quick.

    Isn't Usyk just a big cruiserweight, meaning a small heavyweight?

    That's not a jibe, more an observation.

    What i mean is, can he really take shots from the biggest guys and also hurt them, and make them respect his power?

    I guess we can't really say, as he hasn't had the chance to really show us.

    I think Usyk against a Joyce, or a Whyte, would give us a real insight into where he stands.

    There are levels to this game, after all.

    I know he was successful against Joyce a long time ago, but neither are the same fighter they were back then.

    Ultimately, his ability always gives Usyk a chance - but I think Fury would just be too much to overcome.

    It has 12 rounder written all over it if you ask me.

    Usyk has some of the most intelligent footwork of the heavyweight division. Could make an interesting fight but I can't see it being very exciting for the fans if Tyson chooses to box on the back foot.

    I think fury would stop him early.

    He took Chisora`s shots without going down the way Parker did.

    No way, too skilled and Fury doesn`t hit that hard and misses with a lot of clumsy right hands, I feel Fury would have to come from behind and score a KO late in the fight.

    Exactly how I feel.

    Two great fighters, but someone has to push the action. I see this as being paint drying.
