    Fury isn't done stalling to age him out yet.

    Yes, too big, too long, too skilled.

    I have always thought Fury will win and still do. He’s too good at using his size. When in doubt I ask myself who would I like to see win and then go with the other guy.

    If he beats Usyk, he'll be beating the second or third greatest heavyweight or fourth in the last five years, and arguably the second-best cruiserweight of all time!

    No he won't. Fury has been so poor of late that even his diehard fans have been reduced to talking about Fury's size as the deciding factor. Usyk is not a small man and his skill set and focus are levels above Fury. Ask Jess Willard if his size was a factor against Dempsey or most of Mike Tyson's opponents. At this stage I would pick at least 3 or 4 contenders to beat Fury.

    Have you taken it to the bank yet like you recommended others do? How much have you bet on Usyk?

    No point telling people to take it to the bank then.

    To beat Usyk needs a brain with an IQ higher than Usyk's.

    I saw that Usyk lost most of his movement in Dubois fight compared to 2nd AJ fight. He was too static and his legs were gone. I don't see him getting past Fury's long shield-like arms.

    I think Fury knocks him out in round 7.

    Fury is bigger...probably stronger...but less skilled.

    I think it will be close, but I think Usyk has gotten into Fury's head and that might tip the balance.

    At the beginning of this circus, I gave Fury a very slight edge. Now I'm giving it to Usyk.

    We'll see in five weeks time.


    (If the fight actually happens!)

    Lol. He doesnt knock out nothing. He didnt manage neither to knock down a UFC fighter with a ridiculous defence imagine if he can knock out a fighter with one of best footwork, defence and IQ ring ever.

    He knocked out Whyte and Chisora.
