    Im now starting think that any good pressure fighter who was not under 200 pounds gives Fury a tough fight

    I actually think this would give him more trouble than the Ali/Holmes style

    I'm not so sure about that. I think it was a combination of Uysk's pressure, footwork and uncanny ability to adjust to an opponent which is really what won the fight. The only solid pressure guy that Fury has fought at heavyweight was Chisora so maybe you are right. No question that the pace/workrate of Uysk made Fury very uncomfortable.

    I don't think most pressure fighters at heavyweight have Usyk's speed, boxing IQ, timing or overall stature to be able to do that to Fury.
