    Bro I am always right. I used to defend wilder and told everybody that they are idiots for thinking that he is a glass jaw, even thought I always said that fury is better then anybody in history, years before this fight

    Usyk has better skills than Fury, but Fury is too big.

    I don't think Usyk can overcome such a skilled big man.

    Usyk will just use his movement to avoid clinches. Fury has terrible footwork when going forward

    I don't see it. Fury will box and win a decision. He is a little too big..

    Question is whether Fury is motivated or not. If Fury is motivated it's a completely different prospect to when he's not motivated.

    The layoff had an impact. So did a resurgent Wilder for that matter.

    Fury had to respect Wilders power he won't have to do that as much with usyk. Wilder is much taller and longer than usyk and fury will dwarf usyk in the ring. People make the mistake of thinking that just because usky beat Joshua he can beat fury. The difference is Joshua doesn't use his size doesn't fight tall using his size advantage and doesn't fight like wlad who was a master at it but fury does he will lean foul rough up usyk slowing him down in an ugly fight and beat him.

    Fury will Cunningham Usyk. He'll make it as dirty and sloppy as need be. Just straight up maul him without respect for Usyks poor punching power.

    No. Fury is. We'll see. Fury might be a bit past it now.

    True. When Usyk is game it's like he's on another planet, pre-planned, in complete control, is never even troubled.

    I could sense it from round 1 in the AJ fight. I was nervous af for Usyk, worried that he'd slip and get hurt, KOed etc. From the first round it was clear he was just in control and there were no risks at all. Levels ahead of even the elite in the division. I knew I didn't have to worry for him. A master at his craft.

    With Fury, he not only looked sloppy but he was on the verge of losing the fight every other round. Great performance nonetheless as Wilder was extremely motivated and is a ridiculous puncher, but it certainly wasn't a masterclass - and this is against a limited and fairly predictable boxer.

    Still, there are positives for Fury. Once again he showed his recovery is second to none. He also showed impressive power. As I said in the main thread: he won a puncher's war with Wilder. That's impressive. Fury might not be as skilled or slick as he seemed to be before, but he could actually be rated as a puncher after that. I'm not sure I rate him much lower in sum, honestly, he just showed different qualities.

    Exactly. Wilder is a unique problem to solve. Usyk, although more skilled, doesn't present that imminent danger. Fury can relax more vs Usyk. There's too many differences between them.
