The Fury 'Era' Ends On May 18th

Boxing doesn't work like that. You got to clean and beat the division. Usyk can't done that, simply cause he's done his part at CW, and doesn't have the time to do it at HW.
Fury, cause he messed around and decide to play it safe.
AJ is the other big name in the division.
Just because Usyk beats him, that doesn't mean Fury will beat him, or for Fury to get any credits over AJ, even if Fury beats Usyk.

And let's not forget for real Fury lost to a MMA guy with zero boxing fights.
So nice try, but no.
If he wants to solidify himself as the best of this era + ATG status, he still need that AJ.
Hell you call me Fury hater. But if Fury beats Usyk, then rematch him and beats him, as there is rematch clause for both sides, and then beats AJ, Fury has a claim to be the GOAT, and being a HW GOAT is essentially the GOAT of Boxing.

 

I want Fury era to end just as badly as most people here. However I have been watching clips of Usyk training for Tyson, I haven't been impressed the man looks heavy and slow.

I don't know if age catched up to him, or he is carrying an injury, overtrained or he is just playing mind games but it doesn't look good I hate to say it Fury impressed me more. I hope I'm dead wrong but I don't think this will be some outboxing masterclass like the AJ/Usyk fight from what I seen Fury has a very good chance. If this was a year ago like it supposed to be or even February I would of choose Usyk but now I really don't know.

 

Or does Fury win (win by knockout?) and the world of many turns upside down?

When will we see the headline: "Fury withdraws from Usyk fight on May 18th due to injury, Hrgovic steps in for replacement" ?

 

Any time now. It's got to happen.

 

If Fury beats Usyk then Fury>AJ until they fight. It's that simple. Fury would have fought and beaten 2/3 of his top opposition, while AJ has yet to beat any of them.

 

Triangle theories don't work in Boxing, it's never has, never will be. People should have learn that already.
And if you want to make an opinion on how a certain fight will plays out, while it's always a wild guess, you are doing it, compare their skill assets, and when it comes to opponents, a similar opponents style wise, physique wise + of course recent performance. Not fights taken multiple years apart and one guy was at his top in one of the fights, and when he was a shot, etc.

And if Fury wasn't such a p****, we wouldn't have guess, but knew the answer already. The fight won't happen, even if Saudi brings 200m. to the table, which they may do, Fury will still duck the fight.

AJ ain't an aging CW, who's best assets are age depended. AJ also has similar star power if not higher. Fury can't use his dirty tricks and won't be favored by the judges/referee.
This alone tells me he won't fight AJ ever.

He needs to duck and age Usyk for almost 2 good years, and everything to happen on his terms, to even dare to fight a guy he severely outsize huge time.

You can quote me on this i'f im wrong and Fury actually grow a **** and fight AJ.

 

Usyk wins

 

It's not a triangle theory. It's the simple fact that Fury would (in this scenario) be the undisputed, unified and lineal champion. Fury > AJ UNTIL they fight based on both ranking and top opposition beaten.

Fury won't retire without fighting AJ. It's too much money and I imagine Turki will have big plans for him. If they do fight I just can't see AJ beating him, but it would be an exciting fight.

But until then we have a 50/50 fight for the undisputed to look forward to.

 

It's go clarify what that > even means. Is Fury a better fighter, and would beat AJ, without beating him, as if this is what you mean, hell NO.
You can have your opinion on who would win that fight, and i had no problem with it. Just like i guess you have no problem with mine that AJ beats Fury with ease. Style wise for me AJ annihilate Fury, and won't even be funny.

If you talk about standing/resume etc. I agree completely. Hell you can even argue now about it, before Fury facing Usyk. Depends on what you look at it. But if he beats Usyk, it's clear yeah.

 

Oh man, every time I log in to this site or a news site, I half expect to read some BS. For me it goes back to waiting on the WK rematch that never eventuated ... and waiting of the Joshua fight that never went thru.

My sister, who follows boxing and watches a lot of it, says she's not particularly interested in this fight because she doesn't trust it to happen, and won't be until round 1 begins. Fury injuring himself climbing over the ropes on the way in, isn't beyond a possibility.

 

I feel the same way.

 

Hope so sick of him
