Is ageing Usyk out a risky strategy

The Floyd vs Pac argument but Fury isnt a dedicated pro like Mayweather. He is arguably already worse off due to lifestyle.

I dont think he wants to face Usyk at all.

 

"Usyk lost a lot already". Sounds like an excuse for whatever happens in his next fights. I can already tell whoever beats Usyk is getting zero credit. Fury hasn't lost anything? Fury also relies heavily on movement, stamina and reflexes. It is literally what he's known for.

 

Its already backfired. Fury is shot, and he is not getting unshot.

 

Fury may be younger but he is in an older mans body.

 

Usyk prime was 2018
Fury prime was 2020

Both these men in their prime fighting at full capacity are extradionarly fighters.

They are now on the decline. Easy to forget it's 2024.

history DOES NOT LIE

These two unless they are gods amongst men are going out not with a bang but a whimper.

 

Nah. What is the purpose of this question though?

 

He rely really on grab-hold. Mostly look at his sparring footage. Do you see moving, stamina and reflexes?

 

Just curious.

 

I do have a bad habit of buying overpriced crap to wear for fight parties of the fighters I support and definitely supported Fury vs Wilder and Whyte but not anymore. This has gone too far

 

Why did you support Fury over Wilder?

 

I created the Bronze Dossier..

I loathe him. He sucks. Pitiful. Poor character.poor skills. Poor loser.

List goes on. A lot of people didn't like Wilder.

What you on

But so is Fury now too. His dossier is getting quite long too.

 

I just tested my reaction time... It SX. I used to go around 200ms at best now I couldnt go under 300 even once. Best i managed was 300 exactly. This is strictly age related. Im old and slow now. Just a fact.

Usyk is older than me. His reactions couldnt be as good as they used to be. Reaction time is the most important talent for a guy like him in the heavyweight division.

Of course aging him out is a great tactic for Fury. He will get slower by every month.

Fury on the other hand doesnt need reactions as much. He can use his other talents to get the win: Height, Reach, Weight. Catch Usyk wrestle him down and put his big belly weight over him.

People dont understand how important age is in boxing.

 

For the love of God, it's not fake.

Now you're on to something.
#1 Fury isn't much younger than Usyk, only about 1.5 years younger. If Fury was 5-10 years Usyk's junior then that idea would have some merit. He isn't.
#2 Fury has abused his body w/ unhealthy food, drink, and drugs - far more than Usyk. There's a well researched - it's common sense - that there's chronological age (based on our b-day) and biological/ functional age (based on the age/condition of your organs/ cells, how you've treated yourself). A persons biological age might be about the same, less, or more than their chronological age depending on inherited genetics and how they've taken care of themselves. There are tests for this (not cheap). I'd like to take them myself.

Based on #1 & 2 it would not surprise me that Usyk is biologically younger than Fury or certainly very close. I don't think Fury or his advisors are that ignorant to try to "age out" Usyk Now for some posters on this topic... It's just another dumb theory from the "I hate Fury" crowd

PS just saw that a few other posters have alluded to this

 

It's actually not a bad strategy. Usyk was KOd in his last fight if we're just keeping everything on the up and up..and he has always shown to be very vulnerable to the body.
You will start to see more and more guys no longer trying to outbox him, but simply going for that body until he inevitably folds under the pressure.
They get closer every time, and Duboise actually got it done, only to be shafted by the referee...
The jury is out on Usyk, and he can not run forever.
I've always said he should have stayed at CW, those boys up at HW ain't nothing to play with

 

What it does is reduce the value of the fight to us fans. Both Usyk and Fury are past their best and cannot hit their peak levels anymore IMHO.
