    A focused, determined and dedicated Fury is a tough night for anyone. Too bad he wasn't any of those things on a consistant basis. He is who he is and got beat by the better man twice. No need to ask hypothetical questions that can only be answered in fantasy land.

    Fury is the one who stalled Usyk.

    When he finally bit the bullet he came into the fight in his best possible shape and got beaten.

    He had another go, grew his beard, came in heavier and got beaten again.

    How many different permutations of Fury do people need to see before finally accepting that Usyk is simply the better fighter who would always get over the top of Fury?

    It seems Fury is one of the greatest beneficiaries of the old, ifs, buts, maybes routine.

    I think the war with Wilder in their third fight took a toll. Those were some heavy shots. His fault he showed up unfit for that fight and had to win a war.

    Tough to pick any version of Fury over Usyk, but obviously the Wilder II and Klitschko version have the best chance. Tough to say which version would do better.

    those versions weren't any good either. he caught a washed up wlad going through huge woman problems and wilder has always stunk. Fury being some atg has always been a fan boy creation.
