Congrats to Usyk on a great performance, I know he will want to go for the final piece of the puzzle but there isn't a worse opponent for him that I can think of than Fury.
Fury can match his footspeed and movement, and will close him down immediately and subject Usyk to a close up view of a 6'9" 280lb man's man boobs. And that is where he will remain for the duration of the fight. Laying on the ropes with Fury laying on him crushing him.
I couldn't pick a winner for AJ vs Usyk and went back and forth on it all week, but I have almost no doubt that a fury fight won't end well at all, Fury is all wrong for him and his style counters every strong point Usyk has.
Usyk should try go for the AJ rematch in Saudi or somewhere and make a fortune, maybe go for the fury fight down the road after setting himself up for life with a couple of paydays first.
I don’t think Usyk should avoid Fury at all. In fact, quite the opposite. People get carried away with calling Fury a master
boxer cause it’s rare to see a bohemoth move the way he does. He does NOT box as well as Usyk. Fury struggles with smaller fighters and is actually quite sloppy at times.
Do I think it’s a close fight? Yes, but only cause Fury is so friggen huge.
Don’t get me wrong, Fury is very good, but he’s not some master boxer.
Usyk matches up well with the all the top HWs ONLY if they try to box him. If they try to bully and fight him, and use their reach and size advantage, usyk would look worse or possibly get KO'ed.
Those slimey man boobs all over Usyks face will have an effect!
It's no fun having to motorboat hairy, sweaty man boobs while gasping for air and inhaling globules of man boob sweat.
That's what awaits Usyk in that fight.
Imagine the insane amount of skill and boxing IQ in a Fury-Usyk fight?
Fury wins, he isn't scared of getting physical like Joshua is, he'll lean all over Usyk, 6ft9 inches of pure inside fightingness.

Fury is a monster to be sure. It's funny. All night my wife was saying, "What'll Usyk do when Fury puts his man tits all over him?" Hard to say, but it wouldn't be a walk in the park for either.
I totally disagree about Fury's ability to match Usyk's foot-speed, but he is definitely as skilled in terms of upper body movement, rhythm, and timing.
I hope we get to see it.
