why are so many people fixated on Fury-Usyk?

Tyson Fury has won every belt put in front of him. An undefeated in 33, 6ft 9 behemoth that moves like no one his size ever has. The man who went on a mad coke and food binge, turning himself into the disgusting blob before losing it all to come back beating to a pulp long reining WBC champ, and arguably one of the hardest punchers of all time in Deontay Wilder, to attain the thrown. Not once, but twice, (should be thrice) away from home none the less. Having held all of Usyks current titles including dethroning long reining superchamp Wladimir Klitchko (again, away from home) who had been holding the titles with force for, was it 10 years!

Generational talent vs generation talent to decide who is the man that no other can beat.

These two are head and shoulders better than the rest.

 

To be completely honest, I've kind of given up on Fury deciding to accept a fight for undisputed...

In many ways it's even more of a shame than Wilder avoiding the undisputed fight with Joshua - just because Usyk is a more pure talisman of what the sport is really about.

Perhaps I'm too cynical, I just can't see it happening.

 

So what's all that got to do with Usyk? Does he really need to go through all your favorite contenders at age 36? Or does he deserve his shot at the undisputed title?

 

None of that matters.

There are no two heavyweights fighters currently better than Fury and Usyk IMO. They hold all the belts, and we havn't had a unified champ since Lewis.
You don't have to agree with me. But this is exactly how I see it.

 

You're preaching to the choir with your last point brother. I've tempered my expectations quite a bit about Undisputed, and I'd be more than happy to see Usyk take on Hrgovic and Zhang and another name or two before retiring if it doesn't happen. I also have gone into detail on why I believe Zhang would give Fury a harder fight than some people are thinking.

Like I said though, the interest in this particular matchup at this specific time lies in the combined factors of "Two skilled guys with no clear winner" and "uniting all the belts for the first time in over twenty years," not just the fact it would be a fight with a lot of skill involved. I'm sure there would be excitement even without the belts involved but the prospect of the first Undisputed Heavyweight champion has amplified it, just like it did for Fury-Joshua and Joshua-Wilder before it, just like it would if the belts are held by different people a year from now.

 

There are no others. No other results have shown anyone worthy in truth. The associations, organisations, federations and councils have their champions. Dislike all you will.

Until a time when rankings are unified, uncorrupt and fair. This is what we've got. Very basically "the eye test", completely subjective and riddled with bias.

And the general consenus, whether you like it or not, is that Fury and Usyk are the two best right now. Hence the fixation.

 

Still better than Zhang's and Hrgovic's, though. A lot so.

 

Joyce was hopelessly overrated around here, though... He has a solid chin and a good jab, but he relies on that chin far too much because his defence is rudimentary and his evasion nonexistent, he's also painfully slow a lot of the time.

He's not terrible, but he's a fringe contender at absolute max and certainly not the H2H nightmare he was getting hyped up to be.

And yet...

You're still not wrong

 

his "victory" over Klitschko was nothing to write home about.

 

It’s a big deal cause it would be for undisputed. Fury is scared.

 

So what Fury did before 2022 doesn't count at all? I don't agree. In the slightest.

Also, beating Joyce and losing to Hrgovic is not better than beating Whyte and Chisora.

Not been given opportunities? Just a moment ago you were big on what one actually has achieved, as opposed to guesses of what could of been.
