Forget about Usyk's handspeed. He won't be able to use it due to Fury's feinting and movement. Fury disrupts his opponent's rhythm and they end up throwing a LOT less punches than they usually do when against other fighters.
You've also got to consider Fury's power jabs since he went back to Kronk, those things do a lot of cumulative damage through the course of a fight, and Fury's left hook to the body (which lifted Wilder off his feet at one point lol) has caused a couple of fighters to retire in the past.
Fury’s never dealt with anybody who has the speed, accuracy, timing of Usyk. That’ll definitely take a few rounds to adjust to.
It’s hard to jab down at a small target, that’s constantly mobile. Fury will need to look for combinations. Jab, right hand, finish with the left hook.
Don’t get me wrong I think Fury wins but Usyk definitely gives him some problems. It’s a competitive fight IMO.
- - Flubber will duck him assuming Usyk will continue fighting.
No reason for he and AJ to fight in such a dirty sport when they made their accolades and bountious $$$ as the two best heavies of their shared eras.
AJ dumping Flubber's Ring belt with 2 flimsy defenses over 6 years...priceless...:hitit:
Flubber may have blubber, but he’s one MEAN motherfucker!
Mean!
Well, I will believe Fury that he wants to fight Usyk when the contract will be signed.
And I will be sure that he beats him when I see it.
Usyk is better than Wilder, 40 old Klitschko or Whyte, far better. I believe Fury can win, but he must be in his best game ever.
Fury beats Usyk. Too big, too stong, too British
Usyk is a bum. The war in Ukraine has resulted in about 15 quid worth of damage.
Fury will do more than that when they fight

That's why Fury retired.

Another huge contribution. I know this is all you’ve got. I won’t take it from you. Your buddy already took ya mum and lil sister to move in with him. Who am I to take away the only thing left in life for you?
You're like some random guy in the crowd daring a fighter to fight you and calling that fighter a coward when he declines.
Remind me, why did Fury retire ?
Outside of Usyks style, stamina and all that good stuff I feel Fury took some serious punishment from Wilder (despite winning almost every round in all three fights for me anyway), Whyte was absolutely pathetic. He's been inactive - by the time its signed he'll have fought 3 times in around 3 yrs, not lived a healthy lifestyle outside of the ring.
Its different when you take punishment from a guy who hits that hard. Seen it countless times when fighters just aren't the same after.
I didn't think he looked very good at all in that third fight with Wilder, Whyte was just useless. I really do have to question what he has left in the tank.
Iam sure iam in the minority but I think usyk beats fury I think he's better with his footwork and angles plus southpaw stance will drive fury crazy
You're not in the minority homeboy. Most here know Usyk will be a handful for Fury now that he seems to have acclimated to the division. Still maintained his speed,work rate,angles,footwork,stamina and appears to have enough pop to keep any heavy honest. Unless you have a hard on for Fury or Wilder for that matter,it's not that difficult to realize Usyk is an exceptionally gifted fighter with a boxing IQ to match. Posters/haters here don't realize just how mentally fatiguing it has to be fighting someone not only that elusive but the iq to switch up/adjust tactics from what you're trying to establish from rd to rd. Joshua was not only physically spent,he was just as mentally spent by the end of the fight as well which no doubt contributed to his post fight mental breakdown.
I wouldn't bat an eye placing a wager on Usyk beating Fury.
Fury will try to grab and hold Usyk. His game plan will consist of leaning on Usyk, wrestling with him on the ropes and at times trying to keep Usyk at range with his jab. I agree that Usyk will make Fury look clumsy. Maybe Fury will use the same game plan that Dereck Chisora employed against Usyk. Run full speed ahead like a NFL linebacker and attempt to body slam Usyk against the ropes. Fury is good at using those rough tactics. If he can’t beat Usyk at boxing he’ll resort to other less orthodox (sketchy) methods.
Otto Wallin gave Fury some trouble, so I have little doubt that Usyk can give Fury PLENTY of trouble.
Fury will try and lean down on the ''blown up'' MW and hit him with his patented rabbit punches.
Fury knows he better limit himself to talking about fighting Usyk than actually fighting him.
We are on the same page.
Fury is too damned clumsy to trouble Usyk

I think a lot of you are underestimating how hard Usyk is to hit. Another interesting element of this fight is Usyk has a significant speed advantage. I can’t think of a Fury opponent that has had that over Fury. Cunningham maybe? But that’s possibly the only one.
I’d pick Fury to win but I don’t think it’s an easy fight for him.
