Fury fought and beat the greatest puncher in boxing history twice

I know this question is not directed at me, but as someone who can see nothing but a nightmare fight for Usyk, I want very much for him to win and prove me wrong! I have been saying Fury wins by KO since the fight was announced, but I won't mind being completely wrong!

Prove me wrong Oleksandr and whup this big boy!

 

I think Fury will lean on him a lot, sap his strength, then probably stop him late. But I assume Usyk knows this will be the plan and is preparing for it. He certainly seems keen. No doubt Usyk is the better boxer, but Fury is a special mix of size, mobility and skill. I like both of them though. On balance I selfishly hope Fury wins as it would lead to some great british match-ups (Joyce, Joshua, etc). Though if Usyk wins I'd like to see him v Wilder.

 

Yes he is. Why did you feel the need to create a thread about this?

 

Well stated.

 

I think its better to get knocked out than to lose a decision where you tried your hardest. You can always think "What if" after a KO, cant do the same if youve been comprehensively outpointed

 

Devastating puncher true, but not the most devastaing puncher in history. That's embellishing a little too much.

 

Fury beats Usyk.

 

Julian Jackson would switch Fury’s lights out, even as a MW.

 

The GREATEST one trick pony in HW history, yes.

HUGE Call.!!!

 

Yeah I feel usyk is deserving of 50-50 in this fight but the reality is that as soon as the Saudi's pulled out and the fight went to Wembley, then Usyk was always going to be on the wrong end of the deal financially.

The bottom line is if the fight didn't happen then Fury would probably have earned £25m from taking 80 percent of the pot from a fight with Andy Ruiz on April 29, and Usyk would have earned maybe £5m from fighting Dubois.

So does Usyk choose £25m for a chance to become a ATG v Fury, or go through a list of pointless mandatories earning peanuts?

The good thing for Usyk is that if he wins this then he becomes the top dog and will cash in appropriately in a rematch and versus the likes of Wilder and Joyce.

 

If you dont appreciate Usyk then you're not a true boxing fan imo, the guy has elite footwork with an elite boxing IQ, he only wants to fight the best and he is happy to do it in the opponents back yard. If Usyk wins, no one should deny him his greatness.

 

Fury gets NO credit for beating up on a feather fisted cruiserweight whose best win is a toss up between shot old delboy chisora or labouring for twelve over the guy obese Andy made QUIT already.

Fury outweighed the little midget by FIFTY pounds they’ll say, it was always a mismatch they’ll say, can we really credit fury for beating a cruiserweight they’ll say..

fury was ducking wilder Whyte Joshua and usyk, probably after he destroys the little rabbit he’ll be ducking Joyce and Franklin.
