    After watching events unfold last night of Joshua vs Usyk, how would Fury fare against Usyk? Who would be your favourite in that fight, and what methods of victory do you think each man would try to employ/have to employ in order to get the victory?

    This time last week I wouldve had Fury as 70/30 favorite.

    Now it's 50/50.

    If I had to pick then I'd favor Fury on points.

    Fury is 50x better than AJ.

    mentally, physically and sexually.

    Naturally 30 pounds heavier than AJ. Naturally 60 pounds heavier than Usyk.

    Remember how Fury dealt with Chisora? He spent half the fight telling the ref to stop it.

    Usyk slowed pretty heavily mid fight if nobody noticed, against an AJ who wasn't really pressing and slowed himself. I think it was round 6 or 8 Usyk wasn't doing much, looked like he was taking the round off on the sly but let AJ hit him with bodyshots for nothing, why? take that extra inch and take your full round off without losing anything. Fury can grind out a win where AJ can't.

    AJ didn't change the distance all fight long. Fury will change it all night long. AJ again showed nothing on the inside, Fury will wrestle and break Usyk's shoulder off and probably eat it.

    All that said, it's still the hardest fight for Fury, Usyk has skills and can't be moved mentally. Things Fury always tends to have over opponents. Fury also seems to hate people who don't speak English, he can't engage verbally.

    Fury likes physical danger and people who try to intimidate. It motivates him. Usyk doesn't bring that, so again not good for Fury.

    RJJ put it good, Fury Vs Usyk is not good for boxing, because there is little chance of either getting KO'd it's all skill. People watch heavyweights for KO's. Why Wilder AJ is always a MASSIVE fight.

    Fury on points. Too big, strong, clever, dirty, awkward.

    Fury is technically an excellent boxer, but he's meaner than AJ, smarter has a better tank and longer reach.

    I don't see anyway Usyk beats Fury unless Fury has a really off night.

    Fury gets overrated as hell but I think he wins. He's just too big.

    He really isn't overrated tbh, people have been writing him off for years. If anything he's underrated.

    AJ is overrated. Fury will show that weight classes exist for a reason

    Media hype job like Ricky Hatton, when they stepped up, their world crumbled.

    It would be a great fight. It's hard to say who would win. A lot would depend on how Fury fights. If he fights on the front foot like in the Wilder rematch, he will have more pop on his shots and gain more respect from Usyk. He can then use his size and strength on the inside to tie up, maul, and tire out Usyk. The problem here, though, is that unlike Wilder, Usyk can fight backing up and he can also fight on the inside.

    If he fights on the outside like he did against Wlad and in the first Wilder fight, he can frustrate Usyk. This fight will be tougher than the two aforementioned fights, though. Wlad and Wilder have a basic style; jab, straight right thrown when they feel nothing will come back at them. This is bread and butter for a back foot counter puncher like Fury. Usyk won't do this. He will throw a lot of feints, won't fight in straight lines, and will throw in combinations. He will his also punch when Fury punches. These tactics will go some way to negating the size difference.

    I would love this fight to be made. It's very intriguing due to the skills of both men and the fact that they will both have multiple game plans come fight night

    I can see Usyk’s handspeed and timing giving Fury problems, but the big question mark is will Usyk have an answer once Fury starts clinching and laying on him.

    Fury’s toughest fight was against a cruiserweight levels below Usyk

    I see Fury winning clearly. He could probably win it tough by fighting him toe to toe or he could win it easy by using his size. A good big man will beat a good small man
