    Not possible for the Fury who has showed up for his last couple of fights to dominate Usyk.

    So for him to dominate Usyk shows he's a very special individual who finds some special gypsy magic for all his big fights.

    Fury will edge Usyk in a brutal grappling war and everyone will try to denigrate him further saying it's unfair

    If he does - yes.

    Will it happen - no.

    Like I said before. If Fury comes in focused and in shape, Usyk is in for a long night. I hope Fury comes in ready and mean. I also hope usyk still whoops his ass.

    I already respect him for beating Wlad and making it look easy. He schooled him for 12 rounds, Wlad was afraid to throw a punch.

    It's not going to happen so why would I deal in fantasies?

    It seemed like Fury was afraid to throw a punch also.

    Grappling = cheating.

    Good to see we’ve already established that Fury would have to cheat to beat the middleweight.

    If Fury destroys Usyk he can retire and claim he was the best from about 2014 - 2024 barring the years he was a whale. People don't like to hear this, but if that happens it'll be tougher to argue as time passes. Usyk's dominant wins over Joshua give Fury an overwhelmingly decisive claim to this era. You'll have to respect him if he pulls it off.

    WILL he pull it off? That's what makes this fight great. The stakes are the highest when both guys have the least left physically and emotionally like the 12th round of a close fight. Similarly if Usyk wins, people may start claiming he's among the greatest of all time in any weight class. And it will be hard to argue against.

    If somehow fury rolls back the years to the slippery switch hitter that beat klitschko and pulls it off respect for him will go through the roof.

    Unfortunately this sugar hill version of fury that was designed to beat wilder is so far removed from what's needed and he can't get back there at his age.

    No it's not you troll.
    And no you can't claim something you don't have. This is an answer to Slyk.
    If Fury wanted to claim something he should have fight the contenders in this era, and the previous one, as he is part of the previous one as well.
    He can blame only himself for that.
