Wilder was out of his feet from the second round and he was still able to knock down Fury twice. It took Fury nearly 11 rounds to finish the job while he had nearly dead man in front of him.
Fury won clearly, but he looked in terrible shape. Usyk is much better boxer than Wilder ever could be, with 100 times better skillset.
I believe Usyk can KO both guys.
Again, I like Fury, I respect Wilder as a warrior, but it seems to me Fury is not serious about this sport, again. Usyk is different level animal than Wilder.
34 year old Usyk is "still growing" eh?
Usyk grows in size! He weighed 92 kilograms, moved to the heavyweight category, in the match with Witerspoon 96 kilos, in the match with Chisora 98 kilos, the first match with AJ 100 kilos. The second match with AJ will weigh about 102 kilos, and in the match with Fury Usyk will weigh about 105 kilos.Usyk gains about 5 pounds a year. Muscle mass also brings a stronger punch. AJ was knocked out on his feet in the 12th round. Joshua’s next match will end up on the floor, only some lucky punch can save him.:boxing:
Usyk is technically by far the best heavyweight, he has everything but strength. But Usyk is still growing, the last match was 221 pounds, he gained about 4-5 pounds a year. In 2 years he will have about 230 pounds and he will knock them all out.
I wouldn’t underestimate Joshua, he has a knockout punch like Wilder, but he’s technically better than Wilder. Usyk and Joshua are Olympic champions, such should not be underestimated.:)
So a 34-35 years old still growing? You know at his age, gaining that much weight could be bad, not good. And if at 34-35 years old you don't have one punch ko, you ain't developing Wilder power now.
You think he has a shot against Fury? I think he gets bullied.
I took a little time out to savour that gif in your sig before replying to this, and you know what mate, I'm reconsidering my opinion on the possibility of Fury decking or even ko'ing Usyk with one punch. He is throwing hooks with much better form now, turning his fist in and locking his arm and wrist before impact to deliver maximum force. Usyk has a great chin, but a punch like that to the temple or behind the ear from a guy as huge as Fury would scramble anybody's brain.
I would favour Fury to win the fight, but I definitely think Usyk has a shot. I could see him using his tricky footwork to evade Fury for long enough to land clean punches before getting closed down and mauled. I don't think they would hurt Fury, but if they were the only clean shots landed in an untidy, mauling round, that could be enough to win the round for Usyk. A lot would depend on how the judges interpreted the action and how much wrestling and inside work the ref would allow before calling break and giving Usyk a chance to reset.
Tbh, I'm a little sad that we didn't get a chance to see the lighter, faster, stance shifting, speed jabbing Fury who clowned Wlad pitting his wits and skills against Usyk, rather than Kronk grizzly bear Fury trying to maul him to death!
fury and wilder will beat all heavyweights, wilder will always be down on cards with the other guys and eventually land that right, even with no gas in the tank he was able to knock fury down. imagine if it lands on usyk, aj landed a few flush right hands on him. aj is a sucker for a right hand, i think fury will beat them all.
I can see usyk tko wilder, and can win on points with fury, but fury fight is 50/50 right now.
both men need to take care of next fights to findout who is best in HW
thats not impossible; both Wilder and Fury are sloppy with terrible defence and suspect chin, like some boxer said in the past the punches that you dont see that are most dangerous, hurt the most
You boy AJ is done!! And yes you are right - he will NEVER win until he changes his trainer. Usyk schools him and goes for the knockout. Mccracken is a complete joke lol. But AJ is too weak a person to dump him and take a new trainer.
Do you kiss your mama with that same dirty mouth? Watch who you insult i am a internet tough guy :boxing:
Wow.. Usyk fans are worse than Fury and Wilder fans wtf.. In what world does Usyk even come close to knocking out Fury or Wilder.. A cruiserweight who moved up is going to knock out Fury? The guy Wilder couldn't knock out? Lmao you do realize Wilder hits about 50 times harder than your man crush right? Your boy would get put in a hospital.
It doesn't matter anyways AJ is getting those belts back in devastating fashion.
The biggest puncher in the division couldn't do it, in three fights, put him down four times, one of those times he really put him in lala land, and still didn' stay down for the whole count. And a CW is the one that is going to do it. Tell me, what make you think Usyk will do what Wilder couldn't?
I will be honest too he beats my boy AJ up in the rematch also. To candid AJ loses to all the heavyweights unless he changes his trainer. Mccracken has turned him into a big softie.... His killer instinct is still on the canvas in MSG

You know something I rate Usyk I really do, but he got the shot against the Worst Joshua ever who doesn't even look like he still wants to be a boxer.
This current Joshua would lose to the Povetkin he fought in 2018, by KO probably loses to Parker as well. He looks ****ing shook in every fight now, and clearly has no confidence in himself any more. He looked like dog **** vs an ancient Pulev ffs, so please, a little perspective.
Circumstances conspire, belive you me the Usyk bubble will burst.
By the way so will the Fury bubble at some point, but I think that will be against someone nobody suspects.
That is an interesting idea and I agree, that current AJ would get KOed by the older povetkin he fougth a few years ago. AJ fights scared these days, he was scared to get hit by Usyk who dont have much power. He freezes up and hesitates. looked at some old clips and AJ was a different fighter before Ruiz 1. Now days he fights scared.
He's not stopping Fury....Usyk got out boxed by AJ for most of the rounds between 4-8. Fury will be able to do the same and will use his size on him in the clinches unlike what AJ did.
Usyk can stop Wilder with accumulation but he may play it safe not trying to get caught. Fury out weighed Wilder by 40 pounds, Usyk will be the same weight as Wilder. Big difference.
The only one of the big 3 that Usyk could (and almost did) KO is Joshua, due to his chin and lack of stamina. I don't see him KOing Fury or Wilder, both are very durable, and Usyk is an accurate but not a big puncher. I think Usyk soundly beats Wilder on points though.
Fury, that's a toss up (and depends a lot on Fury's strategy and training status) - 70:30 for Fury in my opinion, although I like Usyk much better as a boxer and a person.
Wilder was out of his feet from the second round and he was still able to knock down Fury twice. It took Fury nearly 11 rounds to finish the job while he had nearly dead man in front of him.

lmao he couldn’t even KO joshua who’s the chinniest of them three.
If fury slims down he’ll box with usyk no problem. He remains at 277, he’ll lean on usyk and maul him gronk style.
