We need Usyk vs Fury 3, after Dubois' very poor showing, little skills, no speed, no punch resistance, no ring IQ, and calls for Parker vs Usyk are laughable (drop the belt Usyk). Parker beat an ancient Zhang and the shell of Wilder. Does nobody remember Joyce battering Parker? Or Parker's gift win over Chisora 1?
Despite what people try to tell themselves, Fury completely dominated Rounds 1-7 vs Usyk in fight 1. Boxed his ears off, before being caught in the nose and losing R8, R9 (10-8) and R10, Fury then won the last two rounds as well. Fury won the first fight clearly, although after a strong Fury effort the first half of the rematch, the massively out-of-shape fighter lost it down the stretch to Usyk. It's 1-1, we all know it. Nobody else can touch these two.
Usyk vs Fury 3 in London, for all the Marbles... and a few belts, and let's see definitively, who the best fighter on the Planet is. I would not watch Parker vs Usyk, it's an absolute joke of a fight, and I don't even think Parker would beat Dubois. Fury is the only one now, with the Great Wilder now being a shadow of his former self. Nash out - His Majesty - and the Voice of Boxing
Fury from rounds 3-7 in the first fight 1 was otherworldly and made it looked easy. Fight 1 was close but i think fury lost the fight on the rounds that didn’t really matter.. rounds 1 and 2 when he played around..
if fury can get around 250lbs im all for a 3rd one…
He has no confidence on his chin anymore though hence the buffing for the 2nd fight hoping he’d walk usyk like a tank… but usyk just can’t be bullied and too difficult to catch if you’re slow.
Usyk won round 3 and busted fury up and won round 7. A lot of revisionist history going on here giving fury phantom credit for things.
Fury wasn't playing around in the first 2 rounds, he was being solidly outboxed and he was coping by clowning around. Its narcissistic cope. "I'm not really trying" "im letting him win" etc...of course its bollocks in a heavyweight world title fight to believe that.
In round 4 he upped his agression since he knew he dropped the first 3 rounds so he was forced to change tactics because of usyks success.
This gave fury brief success for 3 rounds but usyk stood right there with him and made him work hard to win the rounds, he didn't just give them to fury by backpeddling on the back foot allowing fury to conserve energy. It was either be picked apart for 12 or go for it in a short burst.
Usyk was ok dropping those middle rounds because he knew it would pay dividends down the stretch. Literally the same thing happened in the Joshua fights. When fury started to fade his form and technique started becoming ragged and thats when usyk started laying on the punishment in round 7.
Usyk took the last 6 vs a very drained fury and almost put him away. Thats why in fight 2 fury never went for it. He didnt want to put himself in that same position he was in the first fight where he had nothing left so usyk cruised to a pretty easy 9-3 win in the rematch.
Don't see how people are scoring it so favorably for fury. Almost all the clean work from usyk, punches with leverage, body weight behind them, on balance punches etc...fury with sloppy work when it did land which was less frequent.
No, I'm talking facts.
Usyk beat Tyson twice, the second time easier.
By watching, I can see that he was mentally and physically beaten and it got easier each time.
If Tyson beat Usyk I would be saying something different - because that would be true... But he didn't.
You are making up some mythical Fury that would've beaten Usyk IF... IF... IF...
That's just your dreams and wishes.
Fact is... He lost... Twice... And the second time was pretty one sided.
There's no question marks here.
Still going are ya..
You tell me, you are the one emotionally invested in making your point.
I don't really care one way or the other I just say it as I see it.

Why is it that in this sport, grown men get so obsessed with other grown men?
Everything you wrote is just wishful thinking isn't it?
It's what you want to be true.
Even when your guy is beaten badly, you don't want to believe it's true.
Prior to the weight gain he was getting knocked down by Cunningham, Pajkic and beat up by John McDermott.
I don't want to rinse the guy, but simple fact is he got beat by the better boxer.
Everything you wrote is wishful thinking and shows more about your character than anything else.
He's not the boxer you want him to be.

Yes I'm saying he lost because he is more eroded.
Skill wise it was equal or even edge to fury in the first half of the fight, Usyk won because of his physical conditioning. Usyk is a consulate athlete, in shape year round, trains year round, rarely drinks.
Fury has spent 3 years as an obese drug addict and has 20lbs of loose skin around his waist that he should get surgery to remove. His legs are gone, his stamina is gone, his punch resistance is gone, still pushed Usyk to as close as 7-5
If Fury had lived the life, he would have beaten Usyk, he got damned close even though he's physically a wreck. but he didn't live the life and he paid for it when he needed that 10% extra stamina that wasn't there, that's his own fault, people won't like it, but it's not less true.
Fury can never beat Usyk now, you are right about that, as physically he's aging HORRIBLY, but he's still the only current fighter who can take rounds off Usyk imo, Kabayel possibly being the exception

Wait, you're saying he lost because he's more 'eroded'? Lol
But are you saying they should fight again? I don't know your stance, but wouldn't make a lot of sense if Fury is more eroded would it?
Re. uppercuts, he had some success with it, sure, especially in the 6th round, but he was only trying to stop Usyk walking him down, but single punches won't be enough.
Fury was just being constantly worked to the body himself and left with no time to breathe. Tagged with right hands to the head, from round 1, and he was just spent after that 6th. He started holding a lot as he was physically and mentally done because Usyk was true to his word and did not 'leave' him.
He didn't have the same success in the second fight because that's all Fury offered really.
Its a mismatch really. Usyk has worked him out. It'll just be easier and easier.

He was tagging Usyk with lead uppercuts from outside, do you know how difficult that is to do.
Skill wise Usyk vs Fury is a very good matchup, but physically fury is a LOT more erroded than Usyk.

I don't think he was.
Tyson won a couple of rounds and landed that uppercut, but Usyk was controlling the range and the ring, pushing Tyson backwards, constantly working and wearing Tyson down, constantly jabbing at his chest, and bringing his arms down before moving upstairs and to try knock him out.
Its easy to think, oh Tyson won a couple of rounds, I can see why you think that he had some success... But he didn't. He was being worked over, made to work harder than he wanted and worn down until he was a shell.
That's what the best to, they turn up the gears.

Fury needs to beat Dubois or Joshua to earn a third shot at Usyk. He has to beat someone good and show us he can be in better condition/shape. Otherwise nobody really wants to pay to see Usyk outbox the lying delusional fat slob a third time.
Even with only 12 fights I believe he's a much better challenger than Dubois who has never impressed me. I don't think he beats Usyk at this stage of his career but he provides a much more exciting fight to look forward to than Parker, Fury, or Joshua.
Parker has momentum and would be something hung new so I would prefer him.
I think Moses is way too inexperienced for Usyk. If Turkish thinks he’s ready he’s gonna put up the loot.
First fight was a 7-5 fight. Second 8-4, even the impartial AI judge scored it that.
No doubt Usyk won but Fury won about 8 or 9 rounds from 24. Saying he won a couple of rounds is disingenuous.
i agree usyk was in a bit of bother in fight 1 for a while, good performance from fury very good actualy just not quite enough usyk stamina saw him through in the end

Not really, Usyk uses he first few to wear the opponent down. To exploit their weaknesses and make them overthink. By halfway you are mentally and physically spent.
For Fury, Usyk put him on the back foot, never let the pressure stop, constantly hit the chest/heart and Fury simply couldn't keep up and lowered his hands as he feared that shot again. Then Usyk just changes level. He's relentless.
Sure Tyson won a couple of rounds at the start, but that's just him putting EVERYTHING in to keep Usyk off him. He can't do it for 12, impossible.
Another example is AJ. Most observers had AJ up in the second fight after 9, but Usyk had already put the work in. He just turns it up again and there's no response.
You're confusing early rounds with what is actually happening. These guys are just being worn down mentally and physically. Usyk just hasn't turned the dial up yet.
What was 'scary' about the DDD fight was Usyk just decided to turn it up from round 2... And he was devastating. He's normally patient until the second half.
Its likely he knocks Fury out if they fight again, he's worked him out and knows his weaknesses now.
Fury has made no progress to solving the Usyk puzzle.
I don't think he was.

It really isn't. Fury was outclassing him for rounds at a time in some parts of the fights

The only reason Fury hasn't been knocked out v Usyk is his size.
The difference in ability is huge.

Fury has been physically declining since Wilder 2 4 years ago.
He will only be physically worse in any third Usyk fight.
Fury still has some skills and more boxing brain than almost all other heavyweights outside of Usyk but physically his time is done.
Usyk was pushing a pace that Fury could only handle for roughly 3-4 rounds but it forced him to be reckless, out of pace and almost sparked out, also made him gun shy for the rest of the first fight and second fight.
