    The two most likely tactics to yield a result imo are either to go 100% early for the KO weighing 270lbs, this means you'll gas out after 5-6 rounds and get KOed if you don't KO Usyk in the first 6.

    Alternatively, come in 250-255 and try and keep Usyk on the outside and eek out a decision

    Yeah you did say it. You say he lost all of his speed between AJ and Dubois fight. You say he is old, and plenty of other stuffs. No need to waste my time digging old post, but i remember your specific posts about Usyk, and why he would lose this fight.

    A few pounds in weight either way is not in my opinion the major factor for Fury, sadly it is Furys previous abuse of his body that is now a coming back to haunt him, wheras Usyk has always kept himself in shape between bouts.

    Train Hard Fight Easy

    Lol um putting fat on your body has nothing to do with increasing your punch resistance. The stuff you people type cracks me up. Deontay Wilder wasn't bothered by Fury's punches when Wilder weighed 214. Wilder was stopped twice by Fury when Wilder weigehd 230.

    Fury just isn't good. Lol being lighter would help a fighter who had legit kill level. For example if Lennox Lewis weighed 270 you would think to yourself if he was lighter he would be a lot better.

    If Fury cared about boxing and was a in a era where you got called out for being out of shape Fury would come in the ring weighing 230. At 230 Fury would have better stamina but it wouldn't fix the fact that Fury throws slapping arm punches and he is so unskilled that he can never landed a high percentage of his punches.

    Fury hasn't weighed 230 since he was a small child you utter moron. He could be a very lean slim 250 in his early 20's. As a fully fledged man in his mid 30's, 260 is as low as he'll ever go. Weight is not Fury's limit factor for stamina, it's his discipline to staying in shape that ruins it.

    Fury's only redeeming quality is his size and reach, Usyk is a better boxer and has the higher ring IQ, Fury comes in lighter he gets KTFO.

    He'll sacrifice even more durability trying to get lighter.

    Fury's peak was 250-260.................when he was 24, 25, 26 etc................For him, trying to shrink at an advanced age (35+) when his best wasn't all that far from what he just walked in at would offer diminishing returns for him.
