    Im not too sure. Usyk is the most skilled fighter hes ever fought, hes never flat footed and his angles are top notch. I feel like Fury will try to throw his punches and Usyk will duck under, and be back on the move and score shots while Fury tries to reset. We havent seen a fighter as agile, and as technically skilled on the level of Usyk in a long time in the heavyweight division. Fury is very good and his size will be alot to deal with, but Usyk has the tools to beat him imo. Im not sold on this "Fury is too big and too good" thing people are saying after this Wilder fight.

    Fury definitely looked beatable. It all depends on how Fury uses his size

    I think Fury's done but if he can hypothetically get back into the same shape he was for Wilder 2 he'd win.

    I also remember Tyson and his dad speak highly of the skill of Steve Cunningham, a former cruiserweight. Extremely interesting fight because no one Fury's fought is remotely close to Usyk's boxing skill. But it's not like Usyk has faced really good boxers either. Fury knows how to fight tall too. AJ completely lacks that. He literally was squatting to Ruiz's and Usyk's level. Gonna be tough for Usyk to land with Fury's leaning back style.

    Fury knows how to use his size, but Usyk can match him with movement and he has speed.

    who in your opinion will prepare you for your best in this type of fight. Wallin, and Wilder 2x. Or chisora and Joshua? I think usyk is more than ready for the test.

    I love Fury but Usyk is just too good. Plus Andre thinks Usyk can't beat him and Ward is Always Wrong so...

    Usyk.

    Fury showed a lot of good qualities here but he also showed that his skill and ring IQ are levels below Usyk and will be outboxed comprehensively.

    Usyk UD.
