How would you rate Usyk's chin?

Sure but he was still not even a 6' 200 lbs man and it was the 2nd round with big gloves. The idea that Fury won't be able to hurt Usyk is silly.

 

Glass.

 

It's not silly to say that a relatively light punching HW couldn't realistically hurt prime Wach and the narrative from some Usyk fans will be that Fury is "featherfisted" while Usyk has an iron chin/body. The reality is that while Usyk has very good durability (I rated it 8/10) Fury has decent HW power (6/10) and a lot of physicality to leverage on top of his skills, psychology and athleticism. If anyone gets stopped it's likely to be Usyk.

 

You haven't studied Fury's career closely enough if you think there is a chance in hell Fury will be 240 or even 250. Fury loses no mobility at 260 (see the Hammer fight) and the extra 10 lbs on a 6'8 frame isn't a big deal either. He's also a mature man now at 33; not 26 years old as he was when he was weighing 260 (the Wlad fight had rigged scales).

Pre-prime Fury stopped Hammer and Chisora on the backfoot in 2nd gear in 8 and 10, dropped Hammer in the 5th. They have gone the distance with many very big punchers and displayed excellent chins.

Fury is a monster on the inside, which is something that most don't want to accept (see Chisora 1, Cunningham, Wallin, Wilder 2). He can leverage 50 lbs of weight on Usyk from well above and even Ward was very impressed with Fury's inside arsenal: totally unique for a man of his size.

If Wilder has 10/10 power then Usyk has 2/10, plus far shorter arms to deliver it. There is no deterrent to prevent Fury from mauling as he did to top 10 ATG cruiser Cunningham when he was 24.5 without his trainer in his corner in his American debut. Cunningham was very hard to KO: fought loads of top cruisers and survived 39/40 of his bouts; a hugely pre-prime Fury stopped him in 7. And Fury was literally dancing in between some of the mid rounds, playing to the crowd.

The problem for Usyk is that he's revealed his hand now and Fury has many tools to fight him with. If going jab for jab doesn't work (and it will certainly work better than it did for AJ) Fury can switch to the backfoot and let Usyk come to him, which Dave Allen claims is the best way to fight him and Bellew had success with it for the first several rounds before he gassed. If that doesn't work, Fury can come forward and maul more effectively than Chisora etc.

 

It's legit, it doesn't get hit clean that often and they the best ones don't get hit.

 

At CW it was a clear 10. At HW tough to say yet but neither Chisora or Joshua really hurt him. Up in the air but I'll give it a 8 for now.

 

It's probably good, but it's more the fact, as other posters have said, he is so difficult to land clean on that it hardly matters.

 

The only correct answer is 10 during Usyk week.

 

Gassiev is one of the biggest punchers out there, and people have claim that he was hitting harder than most HW back when he was at CW. He landed a HUGE clean right hand hook that catches Usyk coming forward, and Usyk clinched like him like nothing happen.

Aa far as Fury goes, the guy is so overrated on here its unreal.
Cunningham himself said that Usyk beats him, cause he had the right team that won't allow Fury to cheat the whole team and use illegal tactics like in the fight against him.... This is a straight up fact. Cunningham was KOed 500% illegally.

If there is a fair, netural referee in there that call all Fury's fault, which are quite a lot, good luck on him to handle Usyk pace.

 

The man doesnt go down.

 

I think he was not even visibly hurt in the fights and I follow him since Glowacki fight
