    I hope the bookies favour Usyk like many of the posters here do. It'll be easy money when Fury wins. I like Usyk, he's a great guy and an amazing fighter but Fury has too many advantages and can use his size very well.

    He destroyed Whyte and made it look easy in a fashion no one else has done before.

    Joshua vs Whyte 2 will be far more competitive a fight in my opinion.

    RE: Usyk - I have no idea how that will go. Can see multiple scenarios playing out, just hoping it happens as I like both fighters.

    Povetkin was comfortably losing the fight. Fury won every second of every round. There's no need to wilfully misrepresent what people say.

    After he got destroyed by Povetkin, He was never the same after that fight...

    He doesn't get tired when he can dictate the action in a low punch output fight. But what's his gas tank gonna be like if Usyk can make him engage more than he usually does? Usyk's gas tank is also very good but this is the case while also throwing a lot of punches.

    A lot depends on the ref. If he clamps down on jabbing and grabbing the fight becomes a much more even contest...

    It's not the same. The Povetkin KO was exceptional, but Povetkin was losing the fight comfortably and lost the rematch too.

    Fury barely took a shot of any substance from Whyte and showed he's several levels above. No one else has done that to Whyte.

    A little man isn't testing Fury's engine. Fury can match usyks workrate but is nearly twice his size. It will take its toll on Usyk if he can't move on Fury

    Povetkin landed the perfect punch at the perfect time. If he hadn't, he was going to be the one knocked out in that fight.

    I don't know how the fight will play out but I do know that you underrate Usyk at your peril, which many on here and elsewhere have been and still are guilty of. So many clowns out there who instead of giving Usyk his credit for proving them wrong and whopping AJ's ass x 2, something they were utterly certain he wouldn't be able to do even once, who are still to this day running with the angle what AJ did wrong as opposed to what Usyk, who you absolute morons is the far superior fighter and fighting man, did right. Never seen anything like it in my life.

    And whilst I do think Fury will take the fight, let's not pretend like he hasn't been very dismissive about facing Usyk for years and if the later had said the things he'd said and carried on like he has he'd get accused of running scared and not wanting that smoke.

    And I did see light-hitting southpaw Ottomatic give Fury and cotton bud fists CW Steve Cunningham give Fury all the trouble in the world and neither are fit to lace Usyk's son's boots let alone Usyk's.

    Fury isn't an idiot and best believe he knows damned well the threat Usyk poses him

    Usyk wins if it's a clean boxing match. Fury wins if rules are bent. Rules are always bent in Fury's favour - as he's constantly allowed to use excessive dirty tactics... I have to pick Fury because of that. Maybe Usyk can overcome it...

    I would say his durability waa shot after the huge beating he took from AJ, that was savage. Then Parker and Rivas craxk hia chin even more and Povetkin shatter it for good.
    Also Fury vs Whyte fight was garbage. I dare anyone to show me the clear power shots.
