    What if Usyk beats Fury?

    What would happen if Usyk beats Fury?

    Meaning, does that make Usyk a first ballot Hall of Famer and an ATG HW?

    Where would you rank Usyk, as an all time HW, if he beats Fury?

    It appears that some fans don’t think too highly of Wilder and Joshua, so wins over them seem to mean very little. But what about Fury beating Usyk or Usyk beating Fury?

    I ask this of course, because I do think Fury beats Usyk, so the feat of Usyk beating Fury would be big enough to start asking who can Usyk beat historically and who he is better than?

    Fury must destroy Usyk for a win. If he plays Usyk`s game, he likely loses.

    Usyk beats Fury that fought Cunningham, Hammer, Chisora, Klitschko. We need Fury from the last two Wilder fights.

      if he wins then he goes down as one of the greatest fighters of all time. im bored of this weird rule that states no modern fighter can be anywhere near some old **** from the 1920s with 12 losses. if he beats joshua and fury after winning every belt at cruiser then hes done as much as he possibly could as a pro.

        Top 10 ATG. Maybe top 5.

          He will beat him. Fury struggles against movers, he even said it himself, and Usyk is MASTER mover

            Hopefully they fight next and hopefully there’s a rematch.

              That would be an accomplishment that has to be noted.

              Haters will say he didn't fight this guy or that guy but in my eyes he should be anywhere in the top ten. The only thing that would be going against him is his short career so far. He did unify the CW division.

                No matter what modern fighters do, they'll always be downplayed for being in a "weak era", when infact most of these ATG wouldn't get past aGerald Washington or a dominic Bre-whatever you spell his name, and once they lose their 0 they're exposed and will never be close to the ATG even though said ATG had double digit losses.

                Part of the reason i dont blame someone like Fury for not fighting the b and c level guys (basically any non champ that's elite) and riding off to the sunset with his money instead of racking up defenses.

                Why risk your life and well being when no one will give you the credit you deserve... get your money fights and get out.

                  Boxing is the only sport in which its fans and analysts refuse to admit boxers today are better than past boxers.

                  No one in their right mind would say Jerry West is better than Magic Johnson, and mean it. Despite West having thousands more points than Johnson.

                  In boxing, having 150 fights, no matter who you beat and who you lost to, automatically makes you better than a fighter today with 30 fights. It’s false, but that’s how fans roll.

                  The variety of fighters they had back in the day doesn’t matter either. How international boxing has become is also not taken into account either.

                  Boxing is way different now, so many different styles, more challenging, easier to lose, and losing to other good fighters is way more scrutinized.

                    Usyk can beat Fury, and Fury knows it

                    Fury was scared into retirement by him, after all
