    Usyk, while really good, might be the most overrated fighter in the history of this forum. That’s no disrespect to him, or anybody else, it’s just what it is. He’s not beating Fury, respectfully it’s just not happening. Mayweather UD Manny is the only other fight I’ve felt this confident about. We’ll see soon enough.

    Im excited for this fight

    I would be even more excited if it were a case of the two smartest heavyweights figuring eachother out, playing chess. But in truth Fury will try and maul Usyk and i want to see if Usyks boxing brain can crack that puzzle.

    It would be an absolutely sensational victory if Usyk won

    Usyk wins. Fury's footwork isn't there anymore. It wasn't an issue against Wilder because Wilder is a static, technically poor boxer and it just became pretty much a shootout. I don't think Fury can pin Usyk down and bully him.

    Wilder landed plenty of times on Fury in the last fight and Usyk is much more skilled and accurate.

    If Fury is prepared mentally and physically, he can make his weight and size the deciding factor and win a decision. The more he is less of the version of Fury-Wilder II then Usyk's chances go up accordingly. I think Fury is smart enough to know that, but we will see.

    Fury has two ways to go about this fight. Either try and keep it long and awkward.... or go forward and try to bully the smaller man.

    Usyk looked uncomfortable at times aginst Chisora.

    I think Kronk Fury turns up for this one

    Answer... not that much. Usyk feasts on taller guys, and Fury will be his biggest meal.

    Usyk isn't 5'6" lol He is a LEGIT 6'3" like barefoot 6'2.5"+
    The biggest variable as to who wins this fight is how good of shape Fury shows up in

    So if a slightly out of shape Fury was to lose to Usyk, you wouldnt give him any credit?

    I honestly don't think you're competent enough to think out a trick question
