    Fury won't dare speak his name.

    Yes, because the foty battle with Witherspoon has made Usyk a hot commodity.

    Usyk needs to make himself relevant first.

    What has Usyk done *at HW* to justify a fight against Fury? The only name Fury needs to talk about is Joshua, but unfortunately he may get dragged into part three of a trilogy no one wants.

    He's already a mandatory challenger.

    Fury has trouble with southpaws but I need to see Usyk fight a couple times at HW before making any wild predictions. Those guys are big and Fury’s aggressive style would be difficult for someone Usyk’s size to deal with. He’s giving up so much size to the big guys and Fury is the biggest and most awkward.

    Usyk is one of my favorite fighters at the moment but he has to prove he can hang with the big boys at HW.

    Usyk unified ALL the titles at cruiserweight. He'll do well at heavyweight too.

    How could he have been Fury spent the last 5 years without a title?

    That scrawny Usyk don't deserve a title shot. This isn't the cruiserweight division it's for 240 plus behemoths!

    Deserve has got nothing to do with it.

    Let's see him beat someone of note then. His first fight didn't exactly earn rave reviews. He's getting older and it's time for him to step up, if he's going to.

    Spoke his name lots of time recently. Said Usyk doesn't have the profile to generate a worthwhile fight at this time.

    Yes, very drole. Care to explain why Fury would talk about the Witherspoon Slayer when he can potentially unify the division against Joshua?
