Fury is pure boxer, he will not stand there to get hit like Joshua did. Fury has bigger reach than Usyk, Fury can fight like lefty also, Fury can maul you, brawl, counterpunch.
If Fury takes this fight 100% serious, Usyk has very little chance to see the final bell.
Fury probably understands Usyk is much better boxer than Wilder. This fight will be nothing like Fury -Wilder.
I expect something like Fury -Cunningham.
We still don't know how good Usyk is at heavyweight. Plenty on here thought he couldn't beat Joshua... and it turned out he was plenty good enough.
He's a pretty special boxer. He works people out, finds a way and does enough. We won't know when he's reached his limit until we see it.
Only way to find out whether the Fury beats Usyk is for him to fight. Anything else is guesswork. It's no foregone conclusion.
Fury had every chance to fight Usyk in peak form. If you cast your mind back to his negotiations with AJ last year, he said the reason he needed to fight early in December was to give himself enough time to be ready for Usyk in March. So if he isn't going to be ready by the end of April, he has only himself to blame.

The fight isn't signed yet and you already find reasons for the IF-FURY-LOSES ? 10-4 ... Already one foot in the grave dude... :cool:
I kind of agree. If Fury is in the same shape he was in for Wilder 2, then the best Usyk can hope for is to lose a closeish decision
- - Don't have to be in shape to DUCK Usyk, so who can he rematch after Whyte and Chisora?
Certainly not Wallin' who turned him into chopped beefsteak.
I'm thinkin' now he's about the level as the Schwarz rematch...:hitit:
People say Tyson too long so will control range? I see Tyson too far away From usy k to land jabs, usy k can spot them a mile away they travel too far.
It's going to be a more competitive version of Haye vs Valuev with the smaller fighter proving to be too quick and cunning to get worn down by the bigger guy.
I can totally see Usyk flooring Fury too, and he will close out the show.
I think people underrate Joshua's ability to box from mid-long range 'Joshua has been one of the best Heavyweights of this era with his mid-long range game'.
Joshua is a extremely capable fighter within this area 'And has actually been tested within these area's at Elite & World level much more than Tyson Fury'.
Make no doubt about it ? The version of Chisora who Fury has just beat 'Would not win a single round vs Joshua'.
Tyson Fury for me as Kronk Fury, is not easily going to out box Usyk with his mid-long range game 'Fury has not shown any recent evidence that he is currently that type of fighter'.
It has been more than 7 years, since Fury has fought skill for skill another Elite level boxer 'That fighter was Wladimir Kiltschko'.
Since then of course Deontay Wilder was a elite level fight and challenge 'But no boxing purist would rate Wilder skill for skill technically as a elite level boxer'.
And this is no disrespect towards Wilder 'Because I rate Wilder extremely highly, his power, aggression, gameness and he does have a solid capable Jab'.
To beat Wilder it is a extreme test of courage, determination, durability and resolve.
But to beat a fighter like Usyk, it is a different kind of test 'It is a test of endurance and conventional elite level boxing warfare'.
Fury if he fights Usyk is potentially fighting another fighter who can legitimately take rounds off him 'That is why the dynamic of this fight is interesting. And why it is a difficult fight to accurately anticipate how each fighters style and form is going to compete against one another' etc.

Except Usyk won't stall against the ropes and let Fury maul him.
