    obviously Usyk. could you imagine a Fury dominating like Usyk if he were 6 ft 3 , far less reach and 220lbs? A lot Fury's success comes from his size. But it is impressive how Fury can move at his weight (I'm talking Wilder 2, not the lumbering fat oath we saw against WHyte)

    Usyk, not particularly close.

    Fury's skilled for a big man, and does most things pretty well.

    Usyks ring IQ and movement are elite, which is rare in the heavyweight division... he needs them to be when he's fighting guys who are bigger and longer than he is.

    Also...
    Very, very much this ^

    Usyk doesn't have a skill set peer at HW.

    Usyk for my money and I think his showing against Dubois will be Fury's undoing.

    Both fighters are elites and both fighters know how to use there skill sets and natural attributes to the best of there ability’s and both posses IQ in abundance so I’m calling it evens . The one thing for me is that Usyk has not had to face any adversity in the ring or been in the trenches as a pro,Fury as we know has suffered multiple knockdowns but comes back stronger and also suffered a bad early cut but never let it effect him.

    Fury is clearly the smartest fighter of all time

    He has people thinking a middleweight who lost to Shawn Porter who's best win is against a bodybuilder can beat him!

    Probably the two best ring IQs of the current heavyweight division. Usyk perhaps the better of the pair but it is an unmeasurable.

    Not legal. This has already been established. But, I tell you what. You can keep pushing this narrative, just as long as you agree Fury's gloves were illegal during the Wilder fight. Deal?

    Yeah and your hero have such a great amateur records with victories over Sardor Abdullaev, who had just 1 amateur fight before beats your fat hero. Then Price beats Fury so bad, that Fury ducked him big time in the Pros rank. Trashed a title and run far away from Price fighting D level truck drivers. Can you imagine losing to Price 22 to 8 ....

    Then here it comes the next great "wins" on the list - Ivan Bezverkhy. He beat Fury in his debut, aka your hero lost to a guy who had never had official Amateur fight ....
    Then Maxim Babanin beated him with ease.
    Then Alex Vedernikov on his amateur debut beats the fatty as well.
    Then Cathal Mcmonagle comes to the light destroying Fury as well.
    I guess Fury was not eating Wild Boar te***** at that time and this is the reason for his amateur results ....


    Yeah this is beyond pathetic.
    Compare that to losing a very close decision 23-20 to Porter in USA, who could very well be a one of the typical amateur robberies. And this was Usyk in his first year in Boxing at all. Porter was a top tier amateur fighter as well.
    And Usyk was 10-7 in the amateurs at the time of their fight, which speaks volume that he finish his amateur career with 335-15.

    It's always amusing when fans of The Dosser try to trash the resumes of other fighters. It's akin to Dan Rafael making fun of Karen Carpenter for being overweight :facepalm:

    That can-crushing exposed hype job bum should be 0-3 in his own backyard where everything was stacked in his favour against the only world champion he fought above C level and he fought a muscle-atrophied inactive 40% version in Baptism I and a 60% version in Baptism III who had a terrible camp.

    He's beaten a grand total of 2 world champions in 46 fights and one of them was shot beyond belief and 2-4 in their last 6 fights, 3 of said losses via KO or stoppage, both wins against cans. The other was one of the worst HW champions in history: Bumane Stiverne and he fought a ill version in the first fight and an inactive shot version in the rematch :facepalm:
