    I like Fury but we've seen him multiple times struggling in the past. Fury's best achievement is exposing Wilder and Wilder has 0 boxing skills compared to Fury & Usyk.

    Outpointing Wlad wasn't too nad either.

    The thing with Fury is that he rises up to the big occasion, sometimes struggles when he underestimates the opponent.

    He would not underestimate Usyk for sure and would probably prevail even though Usyk would not be an easy fight for him, I agree.

    Definitely not an easy fight for Fury. Usyk has shown he can over come bigger men using his speed and foot work but I'd still have Fury as the favourite. He won't overreach like AJ and he knows how to use his size to manhandle smaller men, like he did Cunningham. Even if Usyk can out box him there's no guarantee Usyk can handle Fury's size once Fury decides to get down and dirty.

    Fury is hot and cold, plus has never faced anyone as good as Usyk.

    Wilder is a bad boxer that can throw bombs from the other side of the ring and be honest here, the Wlad he fought didn't compare to the dominating Wlad of old.
    Then there's the whole thing that he might not ever really come back. Fury is as irrational as ever.

    Fury raises his game the better the opponent and he will have seen things last night no doubt when Joshua had his moments and knows he can do better than Joshua. Fury will best Usyk I’ve no doubts .

    Wasn't this like 10 years ago? Since then he has outboxed Wladimir Klitschko and made it look easy. Would Usyk have done the same to Wlad?

    Fury is just as awkward if not more so than Usyk and he would fight with a lot more conviction than AJ did last night, I can't see Fury losing to Usyk

    Fury has also struggled with southpaws at times throughout his career. I believe Wallin was the last southpaw he fought, and that fight was a lot closer than most were expecting.

    Fury literally started dancing at the end of round 5 against Cunningham

    To me the issues that Usyk will face against big heavyweights were shown last night.

    Fury is not afraid to take a hit and in my view he will mail and break usyk down. He's just to big and too skilled for usyk.

    If Usyk beats fury, I'll say he's the best HW of this era.

    Wilder is also probably the heaviest hitter in the division and if he fights Usyk he likely catches him at some point.
