    Boxing hipsters must be seeing something different. I don't see how Usyk could ever beat Fury.

    If Usyk loses a close fight I will call it a moral victory.

    To put things in perspective, if Usyk beats Fury it would be a greater feat than any victory in Ali's career.

    Yeah this is something people aren't really talking about but Usyk becoming undisputed in a competitive Cruiser division, and undisputed in a competitive Heavyweight division after only 20 professional bouts would be arguably the greatest achievement in the history of the sport.

    Would not go that far, but Usyk's victory over Fury would easily be one of the greatest in HW history. Genuinely big men with boxing skills are hard to beat.
    Usyk is not a SHW, nor does he have freakish athleticism or punching power.

    Usyk lasting the distance and winning 4 rounds is a victory. He has nothing to lose against Fury...

    I think most would agree he is close to being the greatest cruisers of all time. He will surcome to Fury just like Holyfield fell to the skilled bigger men, however most would agree Usyk is more skilled than Holyfield. Holyfield's toughness and roids helped him excel against them big men.

    Fury or Joyce still.

    I think Joyce is being prematurely written off.
