Fury goes full delusional...says Usyk is "by far" not the best he has ever faced.

I'm looking forward to the decider next year

 

So Fury is definitely pulling out then?
I guess I better make other arrangements then as it's the last weekend before Christmas

Thanks for letting me know

 

Fury did the universal wank gesture towards Usyk in the first round and ended up looking like a wanker in the 9th round.

Man should take lessons from other peoples mistakes aswell as his own. Fury can learn and should learn from other boxers and Joshua was made into a good example. Fury has often called his opponents midgets, 6 ft 2 Cunningham a midget, a rabbit, a middleweight, a dosser. All to hype himself up that his opponent is easy work for him. Just like Joshua tried to convince himself that Dubois is "sh1t". But Fury's antics never worked with Usyk.

I think while Joshua was trying to get up of the canvas doing a headstand after being cracked by a Dubois right hand he learnt his lesson. Joshua never said Andy Ruiz is "sh1t" in their rematch and fought like it, did what he had to do to win. Fury should take Usyk more serious if he wants to win.

 

What a boring world it would be if we were all perfect.

 

Is it the same sheep who predicted the first fight wouldn't happen playing double or nothing with the rematch??

 

He knows that he wasn’t in peak physical condition when he fought Usyk as he hardly sparred after the cut. Fury also knows the fight was extremely tight. Fury also knows he got tired in round 9 and got caught bad.

This is correctable. I’m expecting Fury to come in extremely well prepared and blast out Usyk inside of 8 rounds.

 

1) Dude it was close.

2) He’s a 6 foot 9 phenom, box on the back foot and sting like a bee or come forward and put the pressure on like a beast, if he chooses to outbox or put it on Usyk, if he’s fully prepared it’ll be a Fury victory.

 

The fight was extremely close and Fury barely sparred.

Usyk has Pacquiao’d the heavyweight division, so reminiscent of when Pacquiao jumped to 147 pounds.

Usyk simply shouldn’t be there, his ko’s are against a washed up contender and an immature Dubois, Dubois dropped him legally by the way.

All it will take is a proper Heavyweight to realise this and put it on him.

Fury Will KO him.

 

If I'm to try to get into the mind of Fury, I think he would be *perhaps* (and this is all speculation) that he would have noted how easily he was dispatching Usyk over the first half of the fight and *perhaps* *in his mind* he sees Usyk's comeback as more to do with him making unforced errors and maybe starting to lose concentration than a testmanet to Usyk's greatness. And to that I and I'm sure most of this forum would disagree. But if Fury is to convince himself that he's better than his first performance and make himself believe that he's better than Usyk that's perhaps what he needs to tell himself heading into a rematch to give him the confidence to fight better the second time around.

Now personally I think there's maybe some truth to this but also is half-way delusional as I think Usyk really did come on strong and willed his way to changing the fight, and if Fury isn't honest with himself about how good Usyk is then the rematch could be more of the same. But I do think a more focused Fury could be a problem for Usyk who maybe could have the same kind of success early but stay focused and avoid being caught and hurt down the stretch.

I also think that despite the fact that Usyk is clearly a more skilled boxer than Wilder ever was, and despite the fact that Wilder gets a lot of hate around here after being exposed by Fury, at the same time, Fury may well believe that Wilder was a better opponent (not in terms of skill but in terms of power and just overall danger) when he fought Wilder the first time and was nearly KO'd. For all the claims that Usyk was robbed of a KO vs Fury he was closer to being legitimately counted out vs Wilder, and was down twice.

I don't know who Fury has fought that he would believe would be better than Usyk though. Arguably Wlad, the ease at which he beat Wlad notwithstanding, maybe Wilder in that first fight who came into it undefeated, not in terms of skill but in terms of pure punching power.

But to claim that Usyk is not "by far" the best he has faced, is to say that Usyk is by far worse than Wlad or Wilder were, which I would say is a stretch. Usyk is clearly a better boxer than Wilder ever was, though not as powerful you could say, but powerful enough. Wlad as a whole you could argue was better than Usyk though I think that's debatable, but not the version of Wlad Fury fought that night, who was easily outboxed, which was a credit to a sublime performance by Fury, and a better version of Fury back then than now, but also arguably one of the worst version of Wlad who didn't even attempt to fight. If we're to believe that Fury was just all wrong for Wlad stylististically that's one argument but still in no way could any reasonable person believe that Wlad that night was better than the Usyk who fought him.

 

I’m a Fury fan but he needs to give credit where it is due, Cunningham was his first top level opponent,Wilder was his most dangerous opponent and Usyk was his best boxing opponent and also the man who ended his unbeaten run !
