    none of the top 15 heavyweights out there are sweating Oleksandr Usyk at the moment.” Fury says that against “a big heavyweight who can punch a bit,” Usyk will be “a lamb to the slaughter.”

    “Did we see the best Oleksandr Usyk? I’m not sure,” Fury began. “Did we see the best Oleksandr Usyk at heavyweight? I don’t know. But on that performance, I can say that none of the top 15 heavyweights out there are sweating Usyk at the moment, unfortunately. None of us are quaking. Is that it? Everyone’s like, ‘Is that what all the hype was about?’ Being brutally honest, I think when he fights a big heavyweight who can punch a bit it’ll be like a lamb to the slaughter. My opinion of it is – it’s the heavyweight division and not the cruiserweight division for a reason. After his last performance, I honestly thought he was better than he was because I highly rated Oleksandr Usyk as a master technician as a cruiserweight. But at heavyweight, there was nothing that impressed me to be fair.”

    Usyk will try to fight AJ first not Fury.

    "Believe it or not, this is going to sound strange, Cunningham was the hardest fight I ever did have in my whole career, amateur or professional.

    “The reason being he was very slippery, I couldn’t pin him down. He was light on his feet, weighing 208lbs, he was a cruiserweight champion and he stepped up into heavyweights.

    “He was a slick, talented boxer and I tried to walk him down, use my size and power, but he was just outboxing me.

    “What I’m good at – boxing, moving, slipping and sliding – I couldn’t do against Steve Cunningham because he was quicker than me.

    “It was like he was a better boxer all round than me, and he’d knocked me over even though he was a light puncher.''

    --Tyson Fury

    Here, give this a read and maybe it'll change your perspective, and help you keep the faith in The Cossack One.

    Watch out with Usyk, this guy hasn't beaten a top "dog" at hw and the forum is obsessed with him

    Usyk seems slower and less mobile at HW than at CW. Worse, he doesn't seem to have retained his power. Granted that the Chisora fight was against a well trained, well rested and motivated Chisora ... but still. If Usyk is going to bulk up to compete with the heavies then he needs to sit down on some of his punches a bit more.

    Fury only walked down Cunningham after he got fed up of the smaller slick man. If he was switched on an not pissing about I don’t think he’d of had any success

    Can’t deny fury’s own words, but he’s improved A LOT since that fight

    Both technically skilled, but Fury's physicality would overwhelm Usyk I think.

    I'm going for stoppage for Fury.
