    Pretty damaging but it would be a nice set up for an AJ fight for runner up. Win or lose I still want to see AJ/Fury, AJ/Wilder and Usyk/Wilder.

    I think it reflect on just how great of a fighter Usyk is, rather than have poor Firy is

    Fury has proven himself, especially by beating Vlad, and steamrolling wilder three times

    Fury is a great fighter….. regardless of what happens in this fight

    this should be a reflection of just how rare of skilled fighter that Usyk really is

    I voted minimal. AJ has lost twice to Usyk and he's still a major player among HWs.

    Why should Fury sustain major damage is he loses to AJs two time conqueror? Not very logical. A Usyk win will raise Usyk more than sink Fury. If Fury loses, if he's motivated he could beat any number of top 10 HWs and try to rematch Usyk.

    A lot. He's already pissed off even his hardcore fans with his erratic comments and outrageous demands.

    I was firmly in his corner vs Wilder, and as annoying as Wilder was with his egg weight gloves and drugged water, Fury is really close to being that annoying.

    I'm rooting for Usyk, Fury isn't likable on any level at this point. A loss would just pile on top of all the damage he's already done.

    You can see how I voted below.

    I agree w/ you on those three fights. But at the rate these guys fight and the way they try to out-negotiate each other money wise, seeing 2 of these 3 fights would be very good. It's entirely probably we see only one :shakehead:

    I'd like to see Ruiz get at least one major fight vs. a top 5 HW. He is 1-1 vs. AJ, yet the later gets much more play in the HW division.

    Ali legacy was not damaged with his loss to Norton, Frazier or Spinks.

    Fury losing won't have much impact. But if he were to be a coward and duck Usyk.

    Nobody will forget just like Bowe throwing the WBC belt.

    Maybe damage for his fans, but probably not for him, he himself said that he doesn't care about the legacy, but only about his bank account...

    I can't see Fury capitulating easily, it most likely goes the distance and it may be close so Fury could walk away having given Usyk a closer run for his money than most.

    It probably just shows how good Usyk is rather than a major dent in Fury.

    According to Fury himself he just lost to a dosser middleweight and the damage would be irrepairable.

    According to anybody who KSAB, Usyk is a generational fighter and could probably beat anybody on the right night. Minimal damage especially if Fury gives it a good go.
