    This Undisputed fight is the pinnacle of both fighters careers,this is what they dreamed of from first lacing a pair of gloves up and they will both perform as such. Fury is the natural/career Heavyweight and imo it’s his fight to lose,Usyk is a talent who moved up from Cruiser as Undisputed Champion to dare to be greater. If Fury wins well done he’s the bigger natural Heavyweight,should Usyk win he is up there in any P4P or any other mythical match up etc that are popular on here,if Fury loses his legacy is in tatters,should Usyk lose his legacy will still be held in very high regard. Hopefully we have a good fight worthy of Undisputed and we have a clear winner without controversy .

    Fury's win against an old and shot Klitschko wasn't that impressive. He hardly landed on Wlad and was really inactive. As far as I'm concerned, it was a draw.

    AJ knocked down Wlad and was more effective against him than Furry, and KOed him in the end.

    Usyk, on the other hand, played with AJ like a cat plays with a mouse, twice.

    Thus, I don't see Fury winning this. I think it will be an easy night for Usyk, and I'm seeing a round 9 KO win for him.

    Let's just remember how people were talking about Usyk, before he beat AJ. Nobody was giving his a chance, except me and couple of others here.

    I have no idea how this one plays out

    And that's why I'm looking forward to it so much

    The first thing we have to hope for is that the fight takes place...

    If Fury is fully focused and in top condition he will beat Usyk. A good big man will almost always beat a good small man. Size will come into play.

    I think Fury could win.

    But I also think that Usyk is slicker and faster with incomparably greater footwork. I think that Usyk also has the greater fight IQ and that he's a bigger puncher than people think he is. When he times guys and sits on his punches they feel them.

    Both these guys are somewhat past their best. But I think Fury is more so. Even though he's the younger man, he's led a worse lifestyle and all that weight yoyoing has not done him any favours. Usyk has an amazing stamina engine and Fury is merely 'ok'. But he's 'ok' because he's throwing fewer punches. If he has to force the pace to try and keep up I'm not sure he can do so.

    I think Fury really whips himself into shape when he fears his opponent. He was scared of Klitschko and Wilder for what their concussive punching power could do to him and he came into those in great shape. I don't believe he really fears "gappy tooth", "rabbit" and "the middleweight". I think he's not gonna come into this one as toned as he should and he will pay for it.

    People expected AJ to bite his gumshield and use his HW attributes to find a way to land his power. Instead he came out trying to box and fell flat on his big dumb bodybuilding face twice. Fury fails to box Usyk long you think he's going to go to a decision loss?
    .if Fury is getting outjousted with a jab he won't stand around taking it

    He's already in great condition but your right he hasn't lived the life and that could be telling.
    Fighters who yo yo in weight tend not to do so well as their careers reach the end of the road.
    I think Fury might just edge it but its a 50/50 fight

    Fury is going to show how a big man deals with a midget

    Big man mentality big man tactics big man balls something AJ knows very little about

    It may be wishful thinking on my part but I'm strongly backing Usyk; I think the two fights with Joshua have put to bed any notion that Usyk will be unable to cope with Fury's size and power. For the people saying Fury can do what Joshua didn't and impose his size and strength on Usyk; there is a reason Joshua resorted to boxing Usyk rather than walking him down, and that reason is Usyk's punches have genuine and underrated sting on them, and if Joshua had walked Usyk down he would have been stopped. The same applies to Fury IMO.

    I’m too invested, I want Usyk to win and silence this clown so much that I fully expect Fury to win and disappoint me. If he does, fair play to him but what I’ll not be able to take is Fury getting a contentious decision and Usyk being cheated by bought judges.

    Fury should win on points. Usyk will definitely give it a good go but I see fury’s size and ring iq getting him the ud

    Usyk wins as long as Turki and his mates don't interfere with the judges.

    Yesterdays cringe "we love you Tyson, we'll do everything for you" vibe from Turki left me feeling uneasy.

    Lets just have a fair fight and the best man wins.
