is Fury vs. Usyk the biggest fight of the 21st century?

Not going to read it seeing how you got me wrong - it was intended for the other guy, you can see the quotation marks in my post.

By the way, Fury is 6'9.

 

That is pretty harsh.
He clearly meant the FOTC so far.
It is not dumb at all to be excited about an event-nor to honestly solicit opinions about what folks find to be the Greatest...Seems he is open-minded & humble.

If that is "stupid", you should smear all good-natured considerations of who is better or the best & basically much of healthy sports talk & intellectual consideration as such.

That is not fair or completely rational.
Please reconsider the negative assessment.

 

May-Pac was far bigger. I was working in a hotel in 2015 and dozens of people who didn't give the faintest **** about boxing were talking about it Sunday morning. On a whole different level of cultural impact. idc if the Saudi's overpay for Fury-Usyk, May-Pac was probably the closest I'll ever get to Fight of the Century hype levels. The only other fights I remember that broke through like this (outside of your Froch-Groves 2 and AJ-Klit) were Bhop-Trinidad and Lewis-Tyson

 

Tyson Fury is the Kim Kardasian of boxing. Except she has a better butt (silicone nothwithstanding).

 

I'll pay ANY even semi-reasonable amount to watch it. I know that much. So, that is a yes from me. In my opinion, this would be THE fight of the young century to date.

 

No and Usyk is super overrated. I think a competent heavyweight will smash him.

A competent heavyweight is one that has not been KOed by a fat beluga like Ruiz. I think Tyson Fury wins this hands down.

As to what is then the biggest fight of the 21st century I hope that someone remembers Gatti-Ward took place during the 21st century. Usyk-Fury is a matchup between a former cruiserweight and a real heavyweight, it falls below a tons of other fights. In terms of money, popularity or matchup, Usyk - Fury is not a top fight and the result will not please many people.

 

I wouldn't go as far to say no one in the US cares. I do, but the masses over don't. Too bad, should be a good fight.

By the way, does Usyk have a trainer? Or does he train by himself?
