    What did Tyson do to deserve both title shots? Beat up limited HW’s & blown up CW’s? Do me a favour.

    Yep, what did Crawford do to get a total shot as soon as he wanted when he moved up? Same with Canelo, he can get any title shot he wants and has never unified a division as Usyk did at cruiser. Same with Ward. He came off the shelf and could have challenged for a belt as soon as he wanted when he moved up to LH. Same with Loma when he moved to LW. Why is it a problem when Usyk is involved?

    No one has really called Usyk out. But dude's falling apart in terms of momentum at the moment so it doesn't really matter

    I like Usyk but he has no chance against Fury.

    Tinman really don't know what the hell he's talking about because is he really trying to say Fury is scared to fight Usyk a former cruiserweight? LOL stop it.

    If Usyk gets to Joshua before Fury he'll be a unified title holder and the fight then will be inevitable.

    Usyk will make Fury look like Valuev.

    He had campaigned multiple years at HW with wins over Chisora (x2), as opposed to one unimpressive win over a shot gatekeeper. To be clear, I have immense respect for Usyk and also have no trouble with him getting a title shot based on his overall resume.

    But that's not what the OP says, which is that he somehow looms as a scary top contender no one wants to fight. He doesn't have anything going at HW yet, and he needs to get busy if he's going to become a factor before he ages out.

    As it stands right now, we can't be sure Usyk's body is coping with the demands of being a HW, so ignorantly proclaiming Fury is somehow ducking him because he's not calling for a fight with a dude who, so far, has dealt with a journeyman of the division. That's it.

    I rate Usyk. Who doesn't? But until he has a better HW name on his record there's no mileage in the suggestion Fury is avoiding him.

    Fury knocks out Usyk. Rather easily, too.

    Usyk is not even a top 20 heavyweight at the moment. Struggled with a fat , 40 year old Chazz Witherspoon ffs
