Would Usyk do the same thing to Fury?

[davef]

Usyk is one brilliant fighter and you would have to give him a chance vs anyone he faces from now on

But with that said I could see Fury winning that fight he controls distance better than AJ, better head movement and defensive skills, has a nice long jab he will stick in Usyk face all night long and any inside work Fury probably leans on him all night ala Cunningham and grinds him down

[Damn Wicked]

I would favour Fury but you never know for sure what could happen. I think Fury would use a lot of mauling tactics and holding to wear Usyk down by putting his weight on him while on the ropes.

But I would favour Usyk against Wilder.

No.

Fury knows exactly how to beat Usyk and has used the exact style he would use against Usyk multiple times.

Yup and Fury is 30lbs heavier now than he even was against cunningham. I could see fury coming in at 290lbs and mauling Usyk to death tbh.

Nah, Fury isn't as easy to move as AJ. He's strong on the inside. AJ looks big and strong, but he gets moved much easier for some reason. Almost looks flimsy as the rounds go on

Fury is ballsy enough to do what needs to be done. Make it ugly, use his weight on the inside, and not just pivot in the middle against Usyk like AJ did. At times, AJ was just pivoting, following Usyk around and not effectively pushing him back. Usyk is probably more skilled than Fury, but he'll be fighting a fighter that outweighs him by 60 pounds and who knows how to use each pound to his advantage

Usyk would struggle against Fury.

Fury is much bigger, has better movement, better ring IQ and wouldn't try to fight Usyk on the latter's terms. Fury would keep Usyk at bay and fight him from a distance. Every time Usyk comes close, he would clinch him and put his weight on Usyk to tire him. He would corner him and bully him and push him. That alone would exhaust Usyk and make him question his game plan. Fury will take every single advantage of his height, reach, and weight which was something missing from Joshua in this fight.

It would be a battle epic of jabs. If Usyk can land his own, things would be more interesting. But like many mentioned here, Fury is smart enough to switch the game by pushing and clinching Usyk, or make Usyk's footwork less relevant. This why Chisora style is more effective because of less boxing and more brawling. Wilder style is good match up for Usyk because Wilder is more static - unless Malik Scott can improve it. But without good jab, Wilder's right hook might bee too predictable for Usyk and he can land earlier and more before even Wilder can cause him problem

[TMLT87]

Probably not. Fury is quite a big bigger than AJ and a lot more mobile and hard to read. I think of the HW "big 3" AJ was the easiest fight for Usyk stylistically. He doesnt have Furys ability to outbox Usyk and he doesnt have the same one shot power as Wilder to land the hail Mary.

[JakeTheBoxer]

No, Fury is not a ***** and he actually knows how to use his reach and weight advantage. he would be toying with usyk the whole night, exhaust him and stop him in late rounds.

[PRINCEKOOL]

It would be a different fight than what people expect.

People speak like Fury is hard to hit 'He has been there to be hit since Wilder I'.

But I would suspect Fury would still just win.
