Has it been brought up yet that maybe Fury is stalling because Usyk is already 36 years old?

    I mean 36 is right on the door step. Just a little older and......

    Something to think about.

    Fury is no spring chicken himself, he's 35 this year.

    It's been discussed shortly on some threads, but Usyk is just an year older.

    People coming out with their excuses for Usyk already?

    oooo that's a rough one.

    Fury was right no matter what he does people won't give him respect and want more.

    He is a midget though

    Fury's roughly the same age and wont age better due to what he put his body trough.
    Those Floyd tactics wont work if you are not a clear commited boxer with a great work ethic and an age friendly style.

    For someone relies on speed and reflexes like Usyk, age is important.

    Fury relies on his size and reach, that doesn't change with age.

    Usyk now he has had a massively long amateur career but fury has ballooned up massively in weight had substance abuse issues as well so it’s dicey for him to try and wait out usyk who’s only a year older. Fury has abused his body and seems to be getting more injury prone as well.

    Fury should wait till he is 40 and Usyk is 41

    Fury is presenting himself as a coward for not facing Usyk.

    Fury is scared to death of the Middleweight. Knows he is too slow to catch him.

    I'd say Fury is functionally older given his size. More wear and tear, especially with his mobile style.
    Don't giant people tend to have shorter lifespans?
    Usyk might have more miles on the clock technically because Fury took some years off to be a degenerate, but Fury has still been a pro since 20 years old or whatever, sparring and fighting. He's probably in decline already.

    Fury is physically older due to alcohol, cocaine and sharp weight changes, and falling apart fast.

    Fury has a body of a 50 year old. The best fighters are always training whether a fight is coming up or not.

    6'3", over 220 lean.
    If he is a midget MW, so was prime George Foreman.
    Why do you say such nonsense?
