    Usyk/Joshua Would Be Big Underdogs To Fury

    Joshua has no chance. We know this. As for Usyk, he’s way too small and doesn’t have enough power to win. He couldn’t outbox Fury from the outside, due to the reach. On the inside Usyk would get mugged. Fury would be at least -500 in that fight. I do think Usyk beats Joshua in the rematch.

      Yep. Don’t disagree with any of that.

        I would be interested to see how Usyk would go about it. Obviously he is very high IQ. Gifted and actually has that same calmness that Fury has and won't be overrawed.

        But still he would have to be levels and levels above Fury to win that fight which he isn't. Fury if he did struggle to get off still has quick feet and impossible physical advantages and the mentality that he would just club him into submission even on his worst night.

          The best of a very bad bunch, Id still like to see Ursk if his class boxing and work rate can overcome the size.

            Of course he'd be favourite.

            I used to think Joshua had the edge in styles but I think Fury has evolved a bit too much for him now.

            Usyk would be the bigger threat for me. The opening post makes it sound like boxing is just two styles... boxing on the outside or wrestling on the inside. It's not. Usyk can get in and out of range, avoid jabs on the way, and get his shots off in between. That's what he did to Joshua.

            I think it would be a compelling fight. Two high IQ guys in a battle of wits and skill with an obvious clash of sizes and styles.

            Fury has more ways to win though.

                canelo's proven it isnt about size....whyte is just an effin disappointement. no matter how great his counter hook and bodyshots are supposed to be, you have to be completely open for him to land those. he doesnt have the fast twitch muscle fibers to let his hands go.
                my thing with aj vs fury is, would aj let his hands go? would he be willing to roll the dice if all else was failing..and at what point would he do it? eg if by round 4 you've lost every round, surely you let your hands go and go for broke and hell to the consequences, right?

                whyte 'i want WAR'
                gets close and does nothing, never lets his hands go, why not? fury was just too big and too strong for him.

                  Usyk barely beat chisora. Definitely a great fighter but has proven way less as a heavyweight

                    No lies there. Joshua already lost to two lesser fighters than Fury. And Usyk barely beat fossil chisora whom Fury beat up easily years ago.
