    Even that was 2-3 years after both in their prime.

    Usyk would have always had the number of both at any stage of their careers.

    Actually think Joshua’s 2nd performance against Usyk and both of Fury’s have been amongst their best. Unfortunately for them they were in with an absolutely elite fighter.

    Time is moving on, these guys are finished. Quite interested in watching AJ a couple of more times but that's about it. Fury is older than his years, Wilder has been done for a while because he's only weapon now takes too long to wind up, USK is calling it a day, Whyte ... dunno what to really say about him (he's even slower now).

    IFL have put out a video today with Fury saying everyone in boxing knows he won the 2nd fight with Usyk and that he won it by 5 rounds. lol

    He looked terrible. 2014/15 Fury would've had a better chance or the one in 2020 when he looked in better nick but stronger. He was in good nick for the first one (for him) but his legs were never the same after the comeback. He lost both of them. They weren't shut outs but they were easy to score a winner. The guy is an absolute ****.

    Fury used to chat bollocks. Now he is chatting bollocks on everyone's behalf.

    That's nice of him.

    Are you sure that's not for his Netflix show that is paying him fortunes

    Of course it is, but the concept capitalises on his actual persona and what he enjoys doing. He looks a right tit.

    Said on here for years Fury’s legs had gone. He knew it too, hence the move to the Kronk gym as the style was less reliant on footwork particularly at heavyweight level.

    He did well in the Usyk fights but lost both with no controversy. 115-112 (first one) and 116-112 (second) for me.

    His legs had gone upon the comeback. Once he lost the weight and his legs didn't look right they were gone for good. Despite that, we still had idiot pundits saying "he moves like a middleweight" which was never the case anyway.

    The biggest problem with the Usyk matches was that he didn't truly go for it and leave it all in the ring. Yes, not easy to do, but he had to go for it, and he didn't.

    First fight a lot of the rounds were subjective. I scored it 114-113 to Fury but it could have easily been scored 115-112 to Usyk.
    I thought Usyk won the second one 115-113 I thought 116-112 was too wide and that seemed to be the general consensus.
    Fury looked better in the first fight and rounds 5&6 was doing a proper number on Usyk.

    FFS. Clear 2-zip doesn’t warrant a 3rd. Then again this is Fury’s MO. It’s what he did with Chisora.
    I’m so angry about this I’ll buy the PPV reluctantly!

    Guessing that’s a dig at Usyk from Turki. Very disrespectful but I guess a bloke who gets people locked up in Saudi prisons and associates with murderers doesn’t have great morals.

    If Turki and Fury want it then it will probably happen, Usyk will feel he can beat Fury every weekend and will be happy to get a big cheque. I can’t imagine there would be much excitement around it though, and getting chased around the ring by a much smaller man a third time seems a bit humiliating.
