    Anyone under estimating Usyk is a fool especially after what he did to Joshua.

    I believe Usyk can actually out box the bigger Fury. Problem is Fury isn't just an out boxer and like Lewis when he was on the rare occasion out boxed could switch it up and take it to his opponent to grind out the win. Fury has dimensions that Joshua lacks and this will be a bigger test for Usyk.

    True, he'll do what AJ couldn't and manhandle Usyk and wear him down.

    He looked far quicker and more elusive than Fury, who was missing all over the place.

    I'd make Fury the favourite personally, only by a slight margin, but there is no way I'd write Usyk off, he's far too good to ever be written off.

    The Undisputed fight has to happen,wether it be Fury v Joshua or Fury v Usyk the fight has to be made for all the belts. With the way the Heavyweight fights are dragging along at the moment who knows who will hold the belts to fight for the Undisputed fight tbh .

    Don’t forget how much trouble Fury had the last time he fought a southpaw in Wallin. Also, Fury wouldn’t be able to get into Usyk’s head before the fight like he does with everyone else he faces. It’s human nature to be bothered when someone insults you but Usyk is too bizarre of a guy to even care what Fury says about him.

    Fury showed what a size advantage did to a guy who was pretty damn big himself abstractly. Now Usyk is literally a blown-up cruiserweight. Imagine Fury with a 60 pound weight advantage?? And Fury himself is quite agile.

    Usyk would have to box out his mind to make up that difference.

    Two completely different fights. Can't judge what Usyk will accomplish by how Wilder looked against Fury. Yes, Fury's great jab and long right hand could spell trouble for a lefty, but Usyk is a different beast. Wilder pretty much stayed in line and wasn't reacting to Fury jab or right by trying to step back but was right there to be hit, when pressed, he also moved straight back, no slipping or dips.

    Usyk can react to the jab, and slip, try to get under, and most importantly, he can turn and pivot away, then go for the body. Wilder reached that body by staying low. When Wilder stunned Fury with the right, he had no follow ups, no hook, no uppercuts from close, nor was he able to test Fury's stamina and turn it on late like Usyk can.

    It's a fascinating fight where Usyk will be at a huge size and weight disadvantage and we will get to see what he's truly made of.

    I want my words noted, Usyk can not/will not beat Fury under any circumstance. No disrespect to Usyk he’s a great fighter, but he isn’t beating Fury.
