    Hell yeah Usyk has a chance against Fury but i dont think he pulls out the victory, Fury just too big and skilled to lose. If Usyk does win he should be P4P #1 until he retires or loses no matter what other fighters accomplish, they are just fighting for 2nd place.

    Fury does demolition jobs on cruiserweights.

    He will obliterate Uysk.

    Could be even worse if Fury is lactating, squirting Olek and blinding him.

    Surely the ref would call foul on that - but I doubt that such an offensive offence has been necessarily covered in the rule book.

    His tank isn't that bad.

    Much hinges on how Fury's elbows are. If he can jab effectively it becomes very difficult for Usyk. If he can't, it will be very difficult for Fury.

    Heart says Usyk. P4P he is a much better boxer than Ali ever was and also clearly more skilled than Tyson Fury. But the problem is that Fury has lots of pounds to offer in exchange... This is basically a master skilled classic heavy weight or modern cruiser vs a very good skilled modern super heavy weight...

    I have always maintained that Fury has looked decent against opposition that allows him to look fast / high IQ etc., but Uysk will make him look slow and lumbering at times.

    Usyk is different to anyone that Fury has fought - but there are wrinkles and facets to this fight for sure.

    • How much did the Wilder fights really take out of Fury if he has to dig deep? He really hasn't been pushed since
    • How much have BOTH fighters declined in the last few years?
    • Can Usyk handle the heat if/when Fury makes it rough and manhandling, and has he declined such that his strengths make it easier for Fury?
    • How does Fury react when he realises he is too slow and Usyk is a far better boxer and smarter than anyone else he has been in with AND with a superlative engine?
    • Who has the better gas tank going into the championship rounds - notable Usyks signature of drowning fighters and sweeping 9-12?
    • Can Fury keep Usyk on the end of his jab / can Usyk outfeint and outhink Fury to negate the reach / size advantage and make shots count?
    • Is Fury mentally on his game these days?
    I'm still highly doubtful the fight even transpires though, still plenty of time for more twists and turns in this story yet!

    Usyk has the technical ability to find the angles and opportunities against Fury. Fury is going to be big and awkward as always but don't forget that Usyk has some of the best footwork in boxing atm. Usyk is favourite for me going into this. Hopefully biased judges for a money-making brand boxer don't need to be taken into account. Best chance for Fury is to hope that Usyk's been found out with body shots

    Footwork doesn't work when you're exhausted hurt and a 300 pound gorilla is trying to rip your arms out of their sockets.

    Usyk has had his fun with the plodders who don't know how to use their size. He knows he's going into the battlefield. He hasn't got the roughhousing or dirty fighting ability of Fury and is going to get picked apart like a bug.

    Straight out the gate he is going to be looking at the ref for help and that help isn't coming. Bite down on your gumshield and fight or run. Going to get hit from every angle and range from a sexually deprived Fury who's hungry for cossack blood.

    Cunningham was even smaller. It supposed to be easy fight for Fury. It was one of the worst and probably if refeere dont let him faul again and again he will have massive problem to win this

    Cunn was long time ago u say? Ok. Same as Fury vs quicker opponent. And 125 kg version of Fury will be much slower than Usyk.

    Wilder was super easy to box and only problem was massive punch. Wilder dont have answer to all what Fury can do. Just one punch. Usyk is quicker, smarter, got better stamina and thst can be problem for Tyson.

    We will see. For me its close fight and all can be really surpriced when Fury clinch dont work.

    Fury has a habit of fighting to the opponents level sometimes having a lack of respect and has paid for it, Fury knows that Usyk is a live dog in this Undisputed fight and Fury will turn up in top shape,more interesting will be to see who is in the corner with him .
