    They should rename them The Marquess of Usykberry's Rules

    Perhaps that slow down prompted the move to HW. He is still faster, more agile and has a superior tank than the slow footed, stamina deficient giants. Aside from Fury, he out lasts, out maneuvers and out thinks them all.

    Perhaps, but I think he moved to HW for more conquests. After having pummeled the entire Cruiserweight division Usyk had accomplished all that he could there. So the only logical move was to a new landscape.

    Almost a win, win for Mr Usyk. As usual, I will be rooting for the man.

    The same could be said of Fury who is also in the twilight of his career with long periods of inactivity, substance abuse, bad refuelling habits, unstable mental health and regularly picking himself off the canvas might just shorten his career faster than clean living Usyk’s?

    Both have the typical issues long term fighters have. We can be assured though as both hit their mid 30's father time will help the naturally bigger man. Hypothetically let's say they fight in 5 years time, Fury would just roll over him. Fury is going to get his old man strength phase like Foreman.

    Happy birthday great one! You are the truly the feelest feel that ever was feel!

    Not coincidentally, Muhammed Ali shares his birthday. I do not believe that this is chance...more like synchronicity. There is something going on there on a cosmic level, like every 35 years or so, some magical substance manifest in a chosen woman and creates a great champion on that day!

    Just realised I share the same birthday. As well as with Muhammad Ali.

    Maybe I should've taken up boxing.
