I'd heavily favor Fury from Wlad fight to beat Usyk. Against this version of Fury Usyk has a good chance of winning . If Usyk won't let Fury hold him much (i.e. moving in and out to avoid getting held after his attacks), I'd favor Usyk to beat 270+ version of Fury
I actually think with the right gameplan he can force a stoppage. The Usyk performance was a masterclass but he did show a small glimpse of weakness when Joshua hurt him i believe in the 6th round where he had to backpeddle to regain his composure and recover. Joshua cannot fight like Fury can. Fury can fight on the inside and outside. He can work himself in with the jab to get inside and rough Usyk up with shots even if they aren't the cleanest. Usyk's side to side movement and timing might trouble him at first but i think Fury's reach will be an advantage and i think Fury can feint well and knows how to close the gap quicker and more effectively than Joshua. I'd favor Fury over Usyk based on size and his boxing ability. It won't be easy but i think he'll have to make it a brawl with Usyk and we've never seen Usyk in a brawl because he always boxes and has also evaded the roughhouse tactics like when he was in the cruiserweight division. Fury has this weird, enigmatic way of doing damage when you don't think he can pull it off. I think he won't let Usyk just circle him and box because he won't hesitate in making it rough affair. The one take i had with Joshua was when Joshua landed a big shot Usyk sort of panicked a bit. He recovered but it was a bit evident he was shocked by the power. If Fury hurt Usyk he would jump on him unlike Joshua did. Usyk has had three fights at heavyweight. He's seen a wide array of styles in the amateurs and in his pro career but he's never really been put in the danger zone before. I think Glowacki gave him an issue and Breidis just gave him a bit of trouble but it was nothing major from a physically demanding standpoint. If Fury doesn't fight Usyk at his pace which i don't think he will then he can stop Usyk. Usyk likes control much like Lomachenko and that's through timing which in turns affects accuracy. You then set a ''fight pace'' and it's very difficult for Lomachenko's and Usyk's opponents to get back into the fight because they cannot fight at a higher pace with the better boxing ability and ring iq. If you put Usyk in a place in the boxing ring where he doesn't want to be by ''brawling'' him and roughing him up on the inside closing the distance between you and him then i think he can fold. It's just difficult for his opponents to do so because he's such a master boxer and his movement and distance management is very good.
