    Fury gets Steve Cunningham and Otto Wallin flashbacks when he thinks of Usyk. Fury is not good against guys who are better movers than him.

      He was still pretty green when he fought Cunningham & Wallin got lucky when he busted open Fury. He lost almost every round after the punch. You are really reaching here don’t you think. Fury is a lot better now then he was back then.

        Fury would rather fight Chisora a third time than AJ or Usyk.

          Arum checking in to see if Usyk will take a dive. All the money is in a Fury/AJ fight unfortunately. He's trying to convince them there's a cut in it for everyone. Chisora is just the back up plan in case Usyk says no.

            P.S. I hope that "handlers" doesn't become the new "Jeep Horn smiles" of boxingscene. First Furys "handlers" reaching out to Chisora. Now Arum reaching out to Usyks "handlers". I don't like it.

              Chisora is 10x tougher than Aj.

                Arum has said he wants Usyk to win the rematch since last year.

                With AJ signing with DAZN for the rest of his career, it is clear which fight will be much easier to make and his ego will want to shut Hearn out of undisputed anyway.

                Plus, the AJ money fight will always be there like Khan-Brook.

                  Ah yes... the mysterious "Usyk handlers". Sort of like all the "unnamed sources" that exist in the world for news organizations.

                  Like Usyk wouldn't want the unification fight. He has only been saying he wanted to get all the belts since he KO'd Bellew and moved up to HW. This is not really going out on a limb. This isn't a Joshua/Wilder kind of situation where the champs just blame each other in the press for a fight each claims they want. Usyk has proven time and time again he will fight the best out there in their backyards if need be. Usyk will sign to fight Fury if the crap organizations do not play politics and Fury is interested. So long as Usyk is focused in the AJ rematch (Joshua will be), the ball will be in Fury's court, and Fury would probably see the chance to retire undisputed too good of a legacy to not accept.
