Usyk looking surprisingly ... skinny

That's an excellent question, I've wondered about this quite a few times myself.

 

USYK looks lean, well prepared, and ready to go to war


he looks great in that pic.
Ripped and ready

 

Pre-cycle, nothing to worry about.

 

"Tall men come down to my height when I hit 'em in the body"- Jack Dempsey

 

Can we please evade the irrational & hateful assumptions?

1) Why the defamatory assumptions about Usyk using PEDs?
What EVIDENCE is there that he EVER used?
6'3" & a little over 220 lbs. fairly lean is NOT unlikely, especially for a top athlete with access to great training & a superb work ethic.

He double "L", I've known numerous guys with less than ideal programs who get at least that muscular size.

2) I do not wanna hear any lazy, foolish & irrational assumptions that "everyone cheats".
NO, not everyone lacks Honor & lies & cheats.
Also not everyone believes they will benefit from steroids & the like.
Some also care about their health & possible exposure & reputation.

Now the more innocent mistakes...

3) Usyk was drained due to the war, stress-& from that type of shirt you cannot tell well anyway.
Regardless, he will likely be a similar size as his last couple of fights with Joshua.

4) Anyway if you compensate for height & level of body fat, Usyk already has around the same amount of muscle as Fury.
Who based on test results likely DID use PEDs.

5) The evidence that Fury is really 6'7" (or marginally taller) presented here is very persuasive.
A suggestion asking why would boxers need to lie is unusually clueless.
Most pro athletes tend to exaggerate this-it is out of EGO & to get a psychological edge.

 

Since "most pro athletes tend to exaggerate" their height, we can conclude that maybe Joshua, Wilder, Usyk, Ruiz, Klitschko brothers and many others lied about, right? I am basing this assumption on a very intelligent argument.

Imagine one is lying that he isn't that tall in order to give a wrong impression to his opponent.

 

He’s a natural Cruiserweight who has to bulk up to Heavyweight. What do you expect him to look like months from a fight?

 

off the steroids its seems like

 

I really don't like leaving stones unturned, lest you believe you were right in this argument about Fury's height. Although I must say you are not making it very difficult to disprove your position.

Let's pick your "evidence" apart picture by picture.

In the first picture, where he stands on the left: Fury has a tendency to lift his chin up slightly as well as standing on his tiptoes in photos. He doesn't do the latter on this occasion, but the chin-lifting thing is there which makes you look taller in photos. Also, since Bjornsson is not directly next to him, the perspective of the photo is misleading. Look at the photo Iinked yesterday or look at this one:
https://postimg.cc/BP4dswmr

Fury is standing DIRECTLY next to Bjornsson, on his tiptoes, to APPEAR as tall as the 6'9 Bjornsson.

Look at this: standing on tiptoes, lifting the chin pose - just to appear as tall as the 6'9 Bjornsson:

Notice how Fury, when Bjornsson is also standing on his tiptoes, jokingly pushes back Bjornsson, saying "go back, go back" - because the only way Fury can APPEAR as tall as Bjornsson is if Bjornsson is not on his tiptoes but Fury is.

Other instances of Fury standing on his tiptoes just to appear taller:

This standing on his tiptoes and lifting the chin thing is also visibly in his pose when he is standing next to Dychko in that particular picture you posted.

Apart from the visual tricks of the chin lifting and the standing on his tiptoes, Fury has a habit of wearing high-platform shoes:

That's the explanation for his appearing taller than Wilder and Braun Strowman. With regards to Wilder, I already posted a photo where you can see that they both have normal shoes on - and Fury is EXACTLY as tall as Wilder there. As for Braun Strowman, look at this picture of when they stood face to face in the ring. There were no high platform shoes involved, they had regular boxing shoes on:

Surprise-surprise, Fury is EXACTLY about one inch shorter than the 6'8 Strowman when both have normal shoes on.

In the video footage of this WWE thing against Strowman, you can see that Fury is once again wearing those high platform shoes - and only then he appears JUST AS TALL as the 6'8 Bowman:

So, while I only posted pictures and videos where you can see what shoes Fury is wearing OR where you can see that he is not in a strained, standing on his tiptoes pose with his chin lifted, you only posted photos where either his shoes can't be seen or where Fury is trying to appear taller with the sanding on his tiptoes and the lifted chin thing.

I conclusively and objectively disproved your photos about Fury's height in relation to Bjornsson (photo + video), Bowman (photo + video) and Wilder (photo where their shoes are visible). Not only that - it's baffling that you are trying to ignore the most important evidence of all, where Fury ADMITS to Wallin in a PRIVATE conversation ( = the discussion was never supposed to be caught by the cameras) that he was 6'7. When he says he was 6'9 to Jason Momoa, there were cameras around and you can tell that Momoa didn't believe him as he estimated Fury to be around 6'6 as he is 6'4 himself. Or are you telling me that a 6'4 tall man can't tell if someone is 2 inches or 5 inches taller than him?

You have to face the facts that:
1) Fury is 6'7, always have been, period
2) the evidence I presented blows your "evidence" out of the water, conclusively

 

Coming in lean and fast is the best plan for Usyk. Muscle won't do anything for him. Fury is nearly 300 lbs. If the plan is to stand ground and wrestle, then he already lost. Usyk is not a puncher. Power is not a factor. If the plan is to bulk up to hit harder, then he already lost.
The key to win is mobility and stamina. Punch fast and punch often. Be elusive. Keep moving all night long is how Usyk can win.

 

This thread is further proof that Fury-hatred is a distinct psychiatric condition.

 

Along with Joe Joyce, mate.

That's why both Usyk and Joyce are both my top two favourite heavyweights. You couldn't find two more decent and genuine men of the sport

Oh, and Joyce is a world champion in waiting.
