    And time waits for no man

    Usyk might be 2 years older but Fury has treated his body worse. Usyk's right shoulder is shot and Fury's elbows are shot. I'm sure Usyk's elbows are pretty rough also.

    At the same time, Joshua is considered by many to be shot, mentally if not physically and Wilder is the oldest of all four at 38 and has fought less than one round in over two years. Also the most prominent challenger at the moment, Zhang, has already hit 40.

    It seems this current generation of heavyweight boxing has already fallen victim to the passing of time.

    You seem rather desperate for pushing this ridiculous idea that Usyk and Fury are similarly shopworn. Usyk is almost 37 and at his age it's inevitable he has declined since his peak. But he is so much closer to his peak than Fury to his own peak that it's not even funny. While Usyk has arguably lost some of his speed and mobility, Fury's legs are pretty much gone. Even if he lost 30 lbs he wouldn't be able to bounce on his tiptoes and move around the ring as he used to. He is not just past that phase of his career - he wouldn't have been able to do that 5 years ago, let alone now. His Kronk things are worthless against Usyk. Those only work on cherry-picked plodders.

    Usyk will eat him alive, and I can't wait to witness it. It will be a glorious day for boxing and it will be a symbolic thing as well - Usyk's honesty, decency and legacy defeating Fury's cowardice, mendacity and blind greed. Justice will prevail as it should.

    Not long now until you are free, mate.

    You think Usyk still has the legs to move for 12 rounds? Which isn't actually his style anyway never has been. Especially when he has an elephant leaning all over him.

    It's no secret or myth that two career boxers are getting worn out at the end of their careers. Usyk has surgery on his right shoulder twice I believe and you see him shaking it out every other fight and Fury has had surgery on one elbow already needs it on his other. One minute it's Fury demanding December the next it's Usyk. Both fighting for any edge they can both get. Nobody can claim either man is anywhere near prime.

    Lol. What's next, you reveal he has always been a plodder?

    Give it a rest with this "elephant leaning on him". Fury will never be able to lean on him, he is too slow for that. No matter how many times you come up with this nonsense, the fact remains: Usyk is quicker, smarter and more agile than Fury. Always has been, always will be. You can't lean on someone you can't catch.

    And even in Fury somehow could lean on Usyk - Usyk is a master at roughing up bigger guys and tossing them away. Go and watch what he did to Fa or Modugno. Heck, go and watch how he literally shoved Joshua away in the championship rounds. Usyk is deceptively strong and durable - P4P, he is much stronger than Fury. Fury only has mass. Size won't win you fights when that's the only thing you have on your side. Fury won against Wilder or Whyte because he had better legs, technique, ring IQ and movement than those guys.

    Against Usyk? He has nothing but his size and it won't do him any good against a faster, smarter, more mobile, more agile, more skilled, more talented and more determined guy.

    Usyk is a pressure fighter at heart which he can still do to some effect against big lumbering no gas tanks heavies like AJ Dubious and Chisora. Fury is a different animal. Usyk is in deep trouble.

    Sure, sure. That's why it took two years and 200 million Saudi provided dollars and a huge public backlash against him and his loss of popularity even back home in the UK and Usyk's apparent vulnerability/aging for him to put pen to paper.

    The man always wanted to avoid Usyk but his greed and poor career choices forced him into a corner where he has no choice but to fight Usyk. He has no choice. If he wiggles his way out of the Usyk fight again, his career is effectively over. He knows this.

    Mate, you are a bigger Fury fanboy than that clueless GAD chap but even you saw Fury dejected and quiet when Usyk faced him after the Ngannou fight. Where was the singing, where was the trash talking, the showmanship? He just stood there like the broken man that he is, realising that it was the end of the road - he had been exposed and he has no choice but to fight the middleweight who will beat him. Usyk was always going to beat him, and he knows this. Fury is many things but stupid is not one of those things. He understands boxing. He understands how styles make fights. He has never been this ultimate warrior you portrayed him to be. He liked his drinking and boozing and he liked his cherry picked opponents, especially in recent years. But now it's all over and it was written all over his face.

    Usyk is inevitable for him. Fury knows he is finished and accepted it. That's what you saw on him when Usyk stood there in front him and he did and said nothing just looked miserable and lost.

    If they're both so shot why wouldn't they fight each other.

    He was just never that good. His resume is ****. It's too late to fix it and he never really cared that much about being good anyway. Camp Fury is PT Barnum. Theye made money from people that want to believe.
