Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury for the undisputed title, who wins and why?

I've always maintained that Usyk will dispel the myth of Fury being this quick / fluid heavyweight - he will look slow and cumbersome in comparison.

IMO it all comes down to how much roughhouse tactics Fury can get away with to be able to tire Usyk down in the championship rounds.

The other aspect is the mental side - does Fury realy thing he is skilled enough to beat Usyk; if he has any doubts at all then it could be a long night for him leading to serious frustration - Fury really hasn't been in with anyone close to the skillset of Usyk, and that step up might be very hard to adapt too.

To me that's why this is such an intriguing matchup.

 

Fury should beat him however I'm not confident he does.

I'm leaning towards Usyk.

 

Fury will keep him at the end of that jab, when Usyk gets inside Fury will mail him, tie up, lean on him, and wear him down. I wouldn’t be altogether shocked if Fury stopped him but I’m giving Usyk the benefit of the doubt.

 

I agree with the entirety of this post, minus the knockdown. But let's not underestimate Usyk.
My highly scientific, "Frank's prognostications" software, aided by CIA and Chinese stolen algorithms, computed on Bitcoin machines, calculates the odds at 58/42 win for Fury.

 

Fury from 2015 wins, his footwork and reach is too much. (combined with massive size and skills ofcourse)

Fat, 270 lbs plodding Fury from 2021 loses. He gets out pointed, and his rough house game wont win.

 

Fury has to be favored, but Usyk is too damn skilled to be overlooked and is now a full Blown Heavyweight. If Usyk can catch and counter Fury he can win, if he allows Fury to lay on him and clinch him up at will then its Furys game. Im picking Usyk for the upset because i think he can find a way around Fury's shenanigans..

 

Tough and close fight, but Fury takes it for me.

 

Fury from the Wilder III fight loses. He’s smart and I suspect we will see the Wilder II version of Fury if these guys ever meet. Usyk is a very versatile, crafty fighter and can move like no HW in modern times. The size difference will be so great, I would have to favor Fury but I never count Usyk out.

I still would be surprised if they actually fought this year or next. Until I see the finalized details, I will not believe it. Unless someone has an actual contract or more details than I’ve seen so far. Love the talk but I have a feeling we will still be talking a year from now.

 

Usyk has without any doubts very good skills , speed and ring iq as well amazing mental will and recovery rate but its also a fact that he was in the last fight in at least two occasions ready to go for a moment - without receiving an wilder style nuclear bomb - so i would rate his chin as ~ average for hw .

His punching power as a single shot appears to be even a bit less than average for a hw .

I do no think he has the punching power to floor fury so his only realistic chance is to score points for an ud and/or hit many combinations to fatigue fury.

Fury - even when he do not look like this - proved to have a massive gas tank and a decent punching power . He further has a way better ring iq than his adjective speech would assume and is way quicker on his feet than his body mass would assume .

Take this with a massive height and reach advantage of fury and it seems for me unlikely usyk can win this . Usyk is a great boxer but fury is a bad opponent for him .
