Do you still view Fury as an all time Head to Head fighter?

Yes. His height, reach and awkwardness alone make him a hard fight for any fighter in history.

 

Okay... But then, the best version of Fury (Vs Wlad) relied heavily on cuddling, had even less power than he has now and whilst pretty durable, he HAD been floored by a natural cruiser already.

There's a reason Fury couldn't really get his clinching going with Usyk - he was just too slippery and too able to counter it.

So... Would the best version of Fury have been able to do enough else to beat an even faster Usyk?
And would he be able to capitalize on Usyk being lighter by hurting him?

Honestly, I don't really think it would've made much difference - I think that Fury would've struggled with cruiserweight Usyk, just as he struggled with an inferior cruiser in Cunningham only 18 months prior to his absolute peak.

 

A 200 lb usyk v a 245 lb fury that was much faster than he is now....fought on the move....much better reaction time.....much fresher. Furys legs have gone now. I think you could make a case for usyk winning it but its razor tight hence why their probably about the same level head to head basically because a head to head heavily favours fury with his natural size etc. 45 lbs is a lot of weight when its the other guys optimum weight.

Usyk wouldnt have bulked if that 200 lbs would have been enough. Needed it to help with his durability etc.

 

Never did and those who were claiming he is the greatest of all tim3 were frankly stupid! In Usyk’s own words:

Fury’s resume is too thin

Old Wlad, Wilder and what else?
