Comments Thread For: Fury on Facing Usyk: I Just Think He'd Be Another Victim of Mine

Usyk is pretty good but all this hype is over-rated. Fury beats him for sure and, in my opinion, so should Joshua in the rematch. Joshua lost because of his own mistakes in trying to outbox him rather than run him over.

#zelda, my girl! It's very hard to run someone over, especially when that 'someone' is the Ukrainian southpaw Usyk. A southpaw will always remind you where your liver is if you move your elbows.

Hrgović destroys them all

I agree he beats everyone down at his local gym. He is simply on a different level to Mario, Samir and Dedovic

Couldn't agree more but AJ overthinks himself and as a result can not come up with a different plan when things are not going according to the script. I didn't like his showing one bit. He hardly hit him and look at the state of Usyk face.

Reality Check: Fury will never fight Usyk. If he beats Wilder, he'll fight Whyte then two tomato cans, then Joshua.

I would not write usyk off against anybody he is that skilled....yeah fury is bigger but so was Joshua and fury footwork will be like slow motion compared with usyks Jack rabbit style.
Fury has to prove he can beat these fighters not just talk about it.....as for wilder and fury well I hope fury has trained properly and is mentally prepared because it could be a bad night for him if not

Tyson Fury nearly got knocked out by Cunningham, knocked down by a journeyman Pajeck, lost to John McDermott would of lost in front of 99 % of refs against Wilder 1 and Wallin.
He plays the victim but he’s incredibly lucky.
Usyk beats Fury

Too many fighters with the "WOULD" talk. They all like to mock Anthony Joshua for losing to fighters they claim they "WOULD" beat easily but at least Joshua got in the ring with them. Neither Fury or Wilder have fought Ruiz or Usyk and nobody else has beaten them to date.

I guarantee Pulev would give both wilder and fury big problems , miles miles away from trash Fury and Wilder been fighting before... Shhpilka, Otto Wallin TRASH

Folks are stating that Joshua will run over Usyk in the rematch. Joshua sure as hell didn't run over a much heavier fat club fighter named Ruiz in the rematch. Did you also somehow forget that Usyk actually rang Joshua's bell several times in the fight?

I would have thought by now it's pretty obvious Fury was weight drained in the Wallin fight, he spent most of the camp trying to get back down to the weight he was vs Klitschko in his 20s which was just foolish in his next fight he came in 20lbs heavier and performed better in every department.

Anyway Usyk's issue is 2 fold,

1. He doesn't have the element of surprise anymore, all during the build up for AJ vs Usyk there was no real sense of danger, sure a few voices quietly said he may cause issues but for the most part it felt like a routine defence for Joshua until the bell rang. That's gone now and he will be taken deadly serious by all heavyweights.

2. Fury did struggle against small nimble fighters in the past, that's BAD because he learned from it and now simply refuses to play their game with them, so Usyk will have 6'9" 280lbs of mass all over him from bell 1, hard to do your little tricks when that's happening.

Usyk said we haven't seen the best of him. Nobody knows, but it is possible that he didn't even use his full arsenal on AJ. Besides setting his mind to training specifically for Fury as an opponent, it's possible that he has more cards up his sleeve that he hasn't even shown yet.

Sure, Fury has weight advantage. But isn't that what a lot of people said about AJ? Just keep making the opponents bigger, and keep using the same reason not to bet on him. And maybe he keeps winning, like he's been winning all along.
