    His accent sounds slightly different, too, come to think of it.

    Fury works the media like a puppeteer.

    Excellent rebuttal to the OP. I was thinking of posting something similar - glad you did.

    This isn't to totally excuse Fury, but the piling on got ridiculous months ago. Key board "warriors" see blood in the water and they get excited. I like Usyk, very much so. But I think a motivated Fury beats him... and just about any HW out there.

    I'll close on this. It's not just Fury. Many of these 30 something (many mid 30s plus) HWs need to make some of these fights that have never happened, sooner than later. For example (besides Fury-Usyk) Fury-AJ, AJ-Wilder, Ruiz- somebody top5, Hrgović- somebody top5, etc. We're going to look back at this HW era and say "what might have been". I think once these top HWs clear 10s of millions after all purse cuts & taxes, the silk sheets effect takes over.

    1 name is what is important, you can have 30 wins and 0 loses if 50% of the matches are against the same guy

    Remember when Fury got put on the seat of his pants vs Cunningham ? And was behind on the points ? Against a.....former Cruiserweight.

    Yea I remember. Fury started dancing at the end of round 5? Then KO'd him in round 7. Cruiserweight champion, Fury actually made him quit. Steve Cunningham never been stopped in his career. Good fighter. Fury is special though and he'll do the same to Usyk.

    You're actually a moron.

    Chisora had a couple of good rounds but then Usyk used him as sparring practice.

    Usyk rightly, like a proper champion doesn't see the need or the point in beating up on the same second rate goon 3 times like Fury does, making fanbois like you look like idiots in the process.

    Gobble gobble you Fury suckhole.

    Not rubbish, Fury fought Wilder, then Wilder, then Wilder, then journeyman Whyte and then AGAIN Chisora - that aint champ material. And he rejected big fights vs. true challengers - Usyk, AJ, Hrgovic, Ruiz, Sanchez....

    Wilder KO's all the men you just named as "challenges"

    Imagine claiming Ruiz Jr or AJ or Hurgo is a challenge for Fury. Usyk is a small challenge and will be dispatched quickly.

    Ruiz is even worse style wise than Whyte. Awful. wouldn't touch Fury.

    Talk is cheap, lets see him do it. All you do is talk talk talk, he K.O everybody, but nobody laying on the ground (except Wilder and he is history).
