    The real Champ is the one who wins between Fury v Usyk when they actually do fight,both fighters are coming off poor performances but you can’t bestow the Champ accolade on either fighter until there’s been a fight and there is a conclusive winner. Wishing it for either to be named as the Champ without a fight between them is basically a fantasy result coming down to peoples personal opinions and nothing more than wishful thinking.

    How does Fury having an off-night in a non-title fight (that he still won by the way) mean that Usyk is now "legitimately the champ"?

    What sort of casual logic is this?

    The "legitimate champ" is the winner of the undisputed fight between Fury and Usyk which hasn't happened yet.

    Sure, if low blows have become scoring punches

    Usyk is the world champion as recognised by both The Ring and the Trans Boxing Board.

    The less said about the gangly fruitcake, the better

    Can’t tell unless Usyk boxes an MMA fighter first. Maybe take on Jake Paul and we’ll see if he’s the real champ

    Why do you assume he's more fragile when he's never been dropped or stopped?

    Like I said, not a question worth asking.

    Usyk is the champ. Fury is a beltholder.

    Even you know that by now.

    The fight has lost its meaning now in my opinion because if the Ukrainian beats Fury then all people will say is he beat a bum who just got his ass handed to him by an MMA fighter.. there's no coming back from this it's irreparable, one of the biggest fights in Boxing has just turned into a joke.. Fury should fight Ngannou again .. forget Usyk

    Fury is done. He was already done after Wilder III.

    That will be decided in the months coming when it will be proven in the ring.

    Or else Fury realizes he's finished and retires.

    That wasn't an off night. Fury simply got his ass whooped. This is the same Fury who's been fighting in recent years. The only difference is he ran up against someone who didn't have a glass chin who also wasn't afraid to hit back.
