    Fury will be probably stronger, probably, but he ain't stronger than AJ, no matter what this keyboard warrior on here told you. There is no possible way he is stronger than AJ.
    So Usyk will just do fine.

    Usyk is even slouching a little in this one.

    Fury's height is a ****ing myth

    Hes 3/4 of an inch taller than AJ

    Usyk is taller than Chisora
    Chisora is the same height as Whyte

    Whyte isnt that much smaller than Fury

    And people talk about “280lb Fury” like that isn’t just because he’s fat. Hell even 250lb Fury was fat.

    Difference is that Fury uses his height/size and jab better than AJ.

    The whole 6'9 thing is overblown for sure - he's nearer 6'7 in reality

    That said, it's still a significant size advantage, especially considering the reach - Fury has a massive 7in reach advantage, and uses his jab well.

    The hardest challenge for Usyk in this fight is being able to get Fury to bite on feints, make mistakes to allow him to get past the jab.

    But it's not inconceivable to me that a 100% disciplined Fury could keep Usyk on the end of his jab all night, negating his movement. But I think that would be hard for Fury to execute after having changes his style through the Wilder trilogy.

    Fury Usyk might be a quite dull technical chess match. At least with Dosh you have potential for a ko win or loss plus a MH fiasco all thrown in. Fury is at least 6'8" .

    It is but one thing that isn't overblown is the way Fury fights on the inside while Joshua couldn't because he lacked the skillset.

    Tyson Fury made Klitschko look small and Klitschko is much bigger than Usyk. Tyson Fury is bigger than Joshua but the difference is he's fitter and a better boxer.

    Usyk is a natural 200 pound man

    Fury is a natural 270 pound man

    The only thing Fury lacks for his weight is raw power but he hits hard enough.

    Fury made Whyte/Wlad/Wilder all look tiny and manhandled them.

    Usyk dropped and stopped the last 277lb super fat/love handle heavy bald giant he fought in little under 5 minutes

    People need to watch this fight. This guy is fury’s size and Usyk owns him. Y’all think fury has a chance?

    Fury was stronger than Klitschko in the clinches and Klitschko is a naturally bigger man than AJ.
