A fighter's career doesn't become a fully dramatic proposition until he's tasted defeat or been involved in a confrontational decision, but ideally an official loss which will ramp up the drama to maximum.
He should be for all men wether they be proper fighting men or not… They should always have a healthy fear of the dancing bear.
"Usyk will beat Fury" is another variation of "AJ will beat Fury". Many on this forum were claiming that a post-Ruiz AJ would beat Fury prior to AJ's loss to Usyk. And if AJ beats Usyk in the rematch, many will go back to claiming that it will be AJ to topple Fury. Usyk has beaten AJ (who was demolished by Andy Ruiz of all people) and Chisora (who Fury utterly toyed with in 2014) at heavyweight in tough fights. He's also got a win over a 198 lbs Hunter, who went on to go life and death with a 40+ Povetkin. If you maintain as I do that AJ was never on Fury's level, Usyk's 8-4/9-3 over him is no reason to think that Usyk would be favoured against Fury, who I believe would stop AJ inside 8 rounds.
True enough. My personal favorite Latvian is a guy who, before he returned to the continent to ply his trade on home soil, was being paid to turn up and lose to prospects by unwitting UK matchmakers who didn't realise that the anonymous Balt they'd picked without sufficient homework was going to come fully fighting fit and with a bunch of ambition to leave them reliant on crooked scorecards to preserve their charges' unblemished records. Boner points if you get the name.
Dont know the fighter you're talking about, but as far as boners go my staying power is the stuff of legends among women.
No way is he scared of Usyk, he's shared the ring with Wilder twice and stepped back in for a third go ffs. But scared of being made to look silly in the ring deffo, he sees himself as the greatest ever imho and to be out boxed for 12 rounds would be worse than getting chinned the way he sees it I reckon.
Agree with you if i had to pick a reason i too would lean towards what you said, As Fury truly believes he is the greatest for some odd reason, losing a decision for him in that way No Bueno & ill add that favourite saying of so called UK boxing experts (if they have ever existed) the term being outclassed.
What a load of nonsense. I'm no massive fury fan but that's a one sided fight in his favour. Using the accidental uppercut that was a one off freak thing approximately 6 billion years ago just to try and look funny is pathetic given that it adds nothing to the point in that paragraph. On top of that in the very next sentence, you said you respect his skill. Was he worried about looking slow against any other opponent? How would usyk make him any more uncomfortable than being at 70% of his best and rendered unconscious for a few seconds by wilder? How would usyk make him look tired given that when he woke up from the punch in the 12th, he was still boxing brilliantly and was full of energy. Usyk is brilliant, fury isn't,... He's very good but that's enough given his size, engine and stamina against a fighter of uskys size
