    Fury possesses those attributes in quantity vastly superlative to anyone Usyk has faced?

    @IntentionalButt Fury is the larger than any fighter Usyk has faced, larger than AJ and Joyce. Combine it with his accuracy, I don't know what happens. AJ almost had him in the 2nd fight.

    Feel that is a bit of a stretch.... Aj won a few middle rounds but felt Usyk was in control the whole fight and hit the gas pedal at the right time....

    I don’t think it’ll happen, but I hope Usyk knock that ogre out.

    Fury will fight like a giant Shawn Porter. Porter has Usyk number

    I just don't see how Usyk can win this. He doesn't have the power to hurt Fury whereas Tyson has more ways in which he can win. Usyk would have to be pitch perfect for a full 12 rounds and I don't like the idea of him bulking up.

    He has the power to hurt Fury.

    But Fury took bombs of Wilder and managed to get through them. Usyk isn't known for his power.

    I think Usyk has more than enough pop to get his respect and can probably even drop him if he was to set up a clean left hand. I've seen Fury hurt/stunned a lot of times. Just my opinion

    We can all make outlandish statements like this. I'd like to know what makes you come to this conclusion. Fury has proven to be one of the most durable in the division and Usyk has zero knockdowns against Chisora, Witherspoon and Joshua who all have poor punch resistance and stamina.

    Looks like Fury is honouring his social media blackout.... To me that is a very good sign for the chances of this figth

    Interesting that as of right now (March 17th), there are 90 votes for Fury and 90 votes for Usyk. ESB sees this as a true 50-50.

    I think the most likely outcome is Fury fighting big, leaning back, and spoiling and mauling his way to a UD by a few rounds, but if Usyk can force the pace he can win. Fury's a natural over 12 rounds, but if Usyk's lateral movement can get him moving then it could be an interesting end to the fight if Fury starts to get leggy. Other point is all that eating, drinking and excess weight has got to catch up with him sooner or later - he is human after all.

    If we discount 38 absolute lunatics who think Fury stops him, Usyk leads the poll 92-52-6 (8) :sisi1

    edit: oh, er, with all due respect there, uh, absolute lunatic. :oops: :lol:
