    of course Fury as a chance. both fighters have a chance. this fight I will pay for. It will be a bit of a wrestling match/chess match. I switch back and forth on the out come. Going with Fury today.

    To be fair, Fury is the better fighting man than his Italian double, and also, the WSB Usyk was coming in closer to his optimum and natural weight instead of a bulked up 221 and he was faster, sharper with superb reaction times. But seeing Usyk toy with those giants in the WSB let me know that he would cause these giants in the pros fits with his speed, skills, footwork and ring IQ

    Usyk is levels above Cunningham who even Fury confessed gave him his toughest fight so two can play that game

    I don't think he was stronger, and Fury was in his full prime, and Wladimir was 39. AJ is in his prime so i doubt Klitschko waa stronger.
    Also Wlad have more left in the 12 than Fury.

    Fury is obviously stronger than Usyk and it isn't even close.

    When Chisora fought Usyk, Chisora was clearly the stronger man.

    When Chisora fought Parker and Pulev, Chisora was clearly the weaker man.

    I remember that photo, Usyk had chunky soled sneakers on. Fury was wearing a slipper/low-profile dress shoe.
    So you can chop an inch or two off Usyk in that one :ciappa:

    Styles make fights and AJ played straight into Usyk hands. I think AJs chin is so bad that he was comfortable boxing with Usyk and didn’t take many chances. He also cannot fight inside.

    Fury is a totally different fighter. He should come in like he did in Wilder II and just seek and destroy by using his size. Chisora had success pressuring and grappling Usyk but somehow Tyson cannot catch him?

    Tyson will destroy him within 6 rounds

    That's the difference. Fury is more agile, he also uses his jab better, as you mentioned, adapts better and has a higher ring IQ than AJ. I like Usyk, but I cannot say with confidence that he beats Fury. At least not as much as I did in both AJ fights. I will be pulling for the smaller guy once again.

    I agree with this. Fury will be tough but Usyk can beat him. Fury's never been in the ring with someone of Usyk's skill and movement.

    Fury's atruggle with cunningham, questions about being able to move as well as in the past compared to the better moving more skilled Usyk is Usyk's argument to victory.

    I think the casuals wpuld like Wilder vs AJ more than an Usyk vs Fury but its a great fight to make regardless and needs to happen nrxt.

    The size difference is quite stark, Furys clearly much bigger.. & go watch the second Chisora fight for example. . Derek just gets literally bullied & manhandled like a child.. this is the size and strength of Fury... Chisora is a f****** unit!
