    Does this even solidify a Usyk win over Fury?

    TBH, current Joshua would beat Fury

    Improve the likelihood, YES. Solidify? If you mean a near lock, then NO. You're using what peeps call the "triangle theory" here to its breaking point. A theory/ idea that many here trash.

    See above. Plus, a sample size of one is hardly something you can hang your hat on. What about the Ruiz I or Usyk I or 2 AJ? TBH Fury beats all three of those versions. Very likely beats very cautious Ruiz 2 AJ. Unless Fury has significantly declined, he will present a different set of challenges for AJ.

    fury’s best win is Parker’s son. Fury is as overrated as wilder was

    Doesn't solidly Usyk the winner between Fury (styles make fights).

    However Usyk clearly is the number 1 HW based on resume and Fury number 3 behind AJ.

    No. I think if Usyk can nullify Fury's weight advantage he wins going away. I don't think Fury can outbox Usyk at this stage. But Fury is skilled enough and has a decent ring iq to figure a way to win. All in all, Usyk has a better career resume than Fury. But Fury is a freak. A giant that, at his best, can move with the grace of a ballet dancer.

    For as big as he is, he moves well. Is he Ali? No. But he is tough to deal with being big and agile.
