    Show me a poll that says so. Now that the hype is done, I think most are good with the fact that Usyk won comfortably.

    "Did Usyk need to dig deep to beat Fury ?"

    "Was Fury ever ahead on the cards at any point against Usyk ?"

    "Was Fury/Usyk a close fight in your eyes ?"

    "Was Tyson Fury Usyks toughest fight ?"

    I'll be making a decision on which title to use soon

    Usyk is a very complete, adaptable and versatile fighter who who is strong or exceptional in all departments

    Sublime skills
    Very athletic, agile and fluid
    Speed of hand and foot
    Iron chin
    Great defence
    Heart
    Underrated power
    Great footwork and movement
    Mensa level ring IQ
    Amazing engine
    Slick
    Versatile
    Can box and fight
    Utterly fearless

    He has no real weaknesses.

    No fighter is unbeatable and great fighters can lose to great fighter on any given night but I don't believe there is a fighter born from their mother a prime Usyk isn't capable of beating

    What about his inside game?

    Especially against someone whose feet is as quick as Uysk, and is a ATG pressure fighter like Frazier, or Mike Tyson? Riddick Bowe too.

    Like I said, he's a versatile fighter who can fight in a number of different styles and he would simply use speed, feet and slickness to outbox them just like he did vs Gassiev. Glowacki. And even the Usyk of AJ I was constantly moving target from first bell to last and almost impossible difficult to pin down and even more impressive not only was he able to maintain that movement throughout he still had enough left in the tank come round 12 to rev up and come within a whiskers of stopping AJ

    Prime Usyk is not the HW version
