Comments Thread For: Hearn: I Would Favor Usyk To Beat Fury, I Just Think He's So Good

[P to the J]

Ok, here´s my take: Fury has size and reach on his side, nothing else. This will almost certainly be a 12 rd fight and Usyk´s work rate and engine will be a big factor, Fury gained 7 years and 20 lbs since he last fought a fast paced 12 rds - and even then nobody was really throwing punches, just dancing around the ring. Then again the size difference is huge and Fury can be pretty smart at times (inside the ring) so with the right game plan he could ruin the fight for us all, including Usyk. I see it as 50/50 and will probably put an insignificant sum on the underdog. And yes, I realize my knowledgeable comment was pretty much useless as a prediction but at least I tried.

Lol, you’re ok.

I think Fury will most likely feint like a MF and jab if he doesn’t want to risk a points loss. A lot round here saying he’ll just bully Usyk, but try catching him…

If Fury does this, the fight possibly turns into Klitschko vs Haye, where nothing the latter did was enough to get inside him.

Personally, I think Usyk will prove too elusive, even for a guy of Fury’s talents, and look to hit him anywhere.


Usyk by decision.

This is Eddie and Joshua fans too a T.

when you prove to them that they’re wrong and what they’re saying is baloney. You literally get “ so what. I like Joshua and even though you proven to me I’m wrong, I’m going to continue to talk rubbish like I know what I’m talking about. So like, SO WHAT!?

The CULT IS OVER.

His fans get upset when things don't go their way. They want to argue and call people effeminate. That's what my old lady does, and I treat them the same.

Edward continues to make a fool of himself no matter what. Why would Fury not want to fight a guy who is six inches smaller and three stone lighter than him with a similar boxing IQ .
Hearn was still saying Joshua was the best heavyweight in the world after his obliteration by Ruiz and his wide points lost to Usyk , I understand he needs to lie to people regards Joshua's standing in the heavyweights for reasons obvious to most but agin the lad makes very little sense.

Too transparent, Eddy. Of course you'll say the guy that beat your guy beats Fury. That way, AJ is at least as good as Fury and deserves a shot at him down the road.

Eddie Hearn so damn petty

[Apollo7]

They're both top fighters so picking either one is reasonable.

Saying Fury doesn't want Usyk? Well Fury did retire so that suggests Fyry might not be too keen on fighting Usyk. The consensus seems to be that he would have preferred to fight Joshua for undisputed.
