Comments Thread For: Wilder Backs Tyson Fury: I Think He Will Be Too Big For Usyk

[Good ol' Douglas]

Definitely not a stamina problem from Usyk lmao. His workrate and movement for a heavyweight is insane. To come back from the beating in the 9th and work nonstop until the end of the fight is crazy.

Usyk needs to have great stamina because his style is so physically intensive, even more so now he needs to get inside of taller, longer and bigger opponents to score points.

Man slowed down noticeably in the middle rounds of the first fight against AJ and late rounds in the rematch. This was against a boxer far smaller, less physical and worse at controlling range than Fury!

You also have the age factor to consider. Is HW Usyk at 35-36yo as fast and fit as he used to be? I do not think so.

He is a small, sitting duck without his legs and Fury will take them away far more effectively than any of his previous opponents.

A massive part it will be due to that. To pretend that Fury is all size is moronic. Usyk isn't that far ahead of Fury when it comes to skills. That is why this fight is seen as Fury's to lose. His size of course will be a factor but the man is more than that. Power, speed, reflexes, heart and punch selection you'd be a fool to think that those are tools Fury doesn't have.

I said nothing of the sort and intended nothing close to that.

By the way you're talking it seems like you think Fury would have a boxing skill advantage over Usyk if they were the same size and I vehemently dispute.

But, as I said, Fury is still an overall success because of his height/size and his insane reach advantage. He can hit opponents while they are completely out of range.

Deontay is a moron, Tyson's size is not so much the great hurdle, the obstruction lies in Tyson Fury's constant unchecked fouls that lead him to victory. Yes friends, boxing is a sport and the rules matter as does drug testing.

Victory for Oleksandr Usyk depends on an honest official. The following refs must be banned, firstly, all BBBofC referees must be barred from this contest, with the exception of Marcus McDonnell and Phil Edwards. Then, the following American refs must also be prohibited from overseeing said bout : Jack Reiss, Tony Weeks, Russell Mora, Kenny Bayless.

Should skill and fair play determine this contest, Oleksandr Usyk will be crowned the undisputed HW champion of the world, eliminate : rabbit-punches, palm-strikes, choke holds, wrestling, forearms, headbutts, you know that which is not boxing Tyson will lose, decisively.

Also on this list of things to eliminate; wild boar penises, *******. and mob ties.
