I'm not impressed by Fury's performances in his two fights against Wilder

    BTW, I think : 1. Charr had better chin than White does have and considerably better chin. If using fights vs Povetkin, younger, not out of prime Pov version needed a lot power punches in long combo to finish Charr. White needed just 1 such power blow from long years ago out of prime, over the hill 40 y.o Povetkin. Briedis normally setuped and 30 y.o 213 lbs Briedis had not less, if not more 1 punch power than 225 lbs 32-34 y.o Povetkin.


    About legwork, of course there Charr was slow.
    Fury easily might outbox till honest UD win Charr 30-33 y.o versions. I don't see problems there for Fury if he is motivated and in good shape.
    A.J ofc looks too easily might do the same.

    You have to take into account that these older opponents you mention were mandatories right? Joshua had to fight them or be stripped of his titles.

    Also, from late 2015 Joshua has had 11 fights in the time that Fury has had 6. Since 2015, the only Top 10 fighter Fury faced was Wilder, twice.

    So, forget all this rubbish that Fury has a better resume. Fact is, he doesn't, especially in the last 6 years.

    very strange division. Old mandatories. A lot of >37 y.o highly ranked boxers etc.

    Usyk is WBO mandatory for A.J long ago.
    Pulev was IFB mandatory for A.J.
    Why he fought 39 y.o Pulev not Usyk and then Pulev?
    He might had both of these fights already. Since Usyk despite looks out of prime is younger than Pulev, win had been more impressive than vs Pulev.Ofc if he had won vs Usyk.
    Why he did not had fought Usyk?

    I think if he had Wilder, Usyk and Fury, no one had told that A.J resume is suspicious.

    I do not care about promised possible fights.
    I see fights delivered and last A.J fight was vs Pulev, this is fact.
    He might now already had fights with both of them: Pulev and Usyk. Usyk fight had get him more money than Pulev fight.

    Usyk is more dangerous that Pulev. Usyk could derail the superfight between Fury and Joshua.

    I see Aj beating Usyk on points but regardless Usyk would be one of his toughest fights. Most of us want to see Fury vs Joshua so i personally dont want Aj to waste time and fight Usyk when the deal with Fury is being made right now

    Yeah, I think Usyk might defeat Pulev, especially if Usyk's CW versions from WBSS tournament times.
