Comments Thread For: Frank Warren: I Fancy Fury Against Usyk; He's Got The Skills & Is A Much, Much Bigger Guy

[P to the J]

Warren compares the footwork of both, Fury and Usyk.

As much as I rate Fury, though, Usyk's footwork and balance are superior. This is the arena in which I believe the latter wins and repeatedly call this prediction (probably too much, to be fair).

If Usyk's footwork is not up to scratch, for whatever reason, I think he'd be cooked in against any 'top' HW, just like Loma's first 6 rounds against Lopez.

But Anatoliy Lomachenko style's success being almost entirely contingent upon it, and most HWs possessing footwork nowhere this level, means I doubt this man will struggle.

Skills.

Both Wilder and Fury beat Usyk. But Wilder-Usyk is a much more exciting fight.

If Fury chooses to drop the WBC belt and wait for a fight with an undisputed champion, it could happen...

Possible scenario:
Wilder vs Whyte for WBC champion
Joshua vs Usyk for WBA/IBF/WBO champion

Winner fights for undisputed
Fury fights undisputed champion

Why should Wilder get another shot at being WBC champion. After being knocked out twice in succession he should sit down. Just like if AJ loses the rematch he should fall back , not get another shot at winning another belt elsewhere

Promoter comes out in favour of his own fighter shocker!

I currently lean towards Fury but my opinion could easily be changed by how both look in their next fights. If Usyk puts on a clinic and possibly even stops AJ, whilst fury continues with the very hittable style from wilder 3 against Whyte, I'd be picking usyk

Because he fought the lineal champion and gave him hell. And he would be in line for the WBC belt if Fury chooses to take a break. And he would beat any other heavyweight out there, even Fury if they fought again. And he would make for a great entertaining fight with anybody.

Not blind faith. I actually watched the fight live, as it was happening, so the fake narrative that it wasn't a competitive fight doesn't work with me. Wilder almost knocked Fury out in the 4th round and the 10th round.

THE
BEST
HEAVYWEIGHT
FIGHT
EVER!!!

Tyson Fury finally proved he is the king of the division. He went through hell and fought back harder every time he was knocked down or hit hard.

Deontay Wilder proved he is a GREAT fighter!!!!
He never quit and he should be proud of what he did tonight. He lost to the better man. He joins Muhammad Ali, Oscar De La Hoya, Felix 'Tito' Trinidad and Lennox Lewis as my favorite fighters of all time. Looking forward to ANY fight involving Deontay Wilder.

Both fighters proved their greatest tonight.

You didn't have good seats then. I agree he nearly knocked him out in the 4th but the 10th he was not even close. Yes he hit him but Tyson was telling him to hit him and not even blocking then ramming his forehead against Wilder's face when the bell went. Barring the 4th round Wilder was abused in there. He showed heart but he took a one sided battering. Even sat up in the bleachers you want to tell me that Wilder was in the fight?

I watched it live on PPV. It was non stop action for 11 straight rounds, give and take, hellacious shots with bad intentions thrown by both. Fury won this time. Wilder can be just as victorious next time, if there IS a next time. Both accumulated a lot of damage but that's what happens when the best fight the best, in their prime...

[Stuntman Mike]

Usyk gonna have 3 dents in his head after the Gypsy King has finished with him.

How insightful considering wilder In the second and third fight was out on his feet and blowing out his arse by the third rounds and fury still struggled to put away a hurt inexperienced (in that situation) fighter and not only put away he had wilder on ***** Street in the corner half the time and couldn't land anything of significant damage and wilders got his head up in the air aswell hehehehehehe


shall I tell you how elusive usyk is because you can't have ever watched the guy fight
