Comments Thread For: John Fury: Usyk is Too Small, Joshua Will Walk Straight Through Him

[Nash out]

I hate this too small crap. Cunningham gave fury problems. Usyk is better than cunningham.
you don't know who will trouble Josh until in ring. On paper usyk gives Josh problems to solve.
Pac stepped up 8 divisions, you telling me usyk can't step up one?

Not this crap again, lol. Fury was a domestic level fighter at that point, he was having trouble in almost every fight he was in, Chisora 1, Pajkic, Firtha, even a few rounds against Rogan, it was later he became a different animal. Compare his performance vs Chisora 1, and again vs Chisora 2, that fight was the making of Fury. The Fury that beat Wlad, Cunningham would not have laid a glove in him.

Your comparison is like saying Usyk now, would beat/cause trouble to Joshau, when Joshua was going through the domestic scene, not now that Joshua is at world level.

He's a world class fighter and handled a big heavyweight like Chisora ok, I seem to remember a great fighter called Evander Holyfield who was a small heavyweight.

I think if AJ gets the job done this will be his 2nd best win after Wlad. Its a serious fight.

Without doubt.

I'm intrigued how he'll approach it. Hell for leather in the early rounds? Or keep him at distance?

It's high level and really hard to call.

The size and the power difference is what Aj has in his favor. But Usyk is better skilled and doesn’t seem to wilt under duress the way Joshua does. Aj and his groupies should be nervous about this one.

Sparring a old WLAD means nothing. You certainly need to learn about John fury if that’s what you think. I’d love you to show me these pics where fury looks “out of shape”. Make sure you compare that to his fighting shape aswell. So please show me and prove me wrong!!

I cannot find the photo. It was a recent photo of him in front of a hotel with socks and flip flops. )
He seemed a bit wobbly on the waist-line. Don't get me wrong - I am a fan of the Gypsy King as well, just think the Wilder fight is crap and John Fury is just trying to sell the fight with undermining Usyk / Joshua.

And you have Peter Fury on the other hand stating that Usyk is very dangerous for Joshua. I will go with Peter everyday of the week and twice on a Sunday.

This Usyk is too small jazz is the biggest load of old bllx ever. The man is literally one stone smaller than Olafemi. How does he have any less power than Ruiz? If anything his 230lbs frame (for Americans) means he will have more gas than the more mechanical Olefemi.

Always factor in the risk of an L. I did this for Josh Ruiz II and made bank on the 4/1 points. With everything still hanging in the shop window I don't think Joshua will be taking many risks. I expect a similar fight to Ruiz II or Parker. For what it's worth, I think two boxers like these guys are going to stink the place out.

Looking forward to this fight.

Really excited to see how Usyk makes the transition to bona fide heavyweight.

[Monty Fisto]

Usyk isn't too small physically. He might not have enough power and finesse for the top two, Joshua and Fury.

An outstanding cruiserweight, but not that impressive in his two heavyweight fights thus far, certainly not Holyfield level.

This sums it up nicely.
