To be honest, I am not sure Fury beats Usyk

[JakeTheBoxer]

It has been a long time since Fury fought a good mover. Fury `s reputation is based on wins against Klitschko, Wilder, Whyte.

Non of them was a mover like Usyk. Since Fury reached world level, all his top fights were big punchers. He adopted his style for these fights. Yes, I am sure he beats Hrgovic, Helenius, Ortiz, Ajagba, Joyce, Dubois...that kind of guys..

But Usyk is a very different animal. I can see all sort of problems for Fury here.

Fury will struggle for the win, if he ever edges that. Usyk will close the distance and I can see Fury eating his counters. Usyk is also not a naive fighter, Fury will not just maul him on the ropes like he did it with Wilder and he won`t finish him with one uppercut either.

I’m sure others feel that way too but we don’t go about making a thread about our insecurities.

oh dear i hope fury doesnt read this or else its valium for bedtime again

If Usyk was going to beat Fury he needed to finesse Chisora & AJ better.

He needed to really give AJ a going over in the 2nd bout but he actually looked worse.

On form Fury will be hurting him all night and will probably get the unexpected early KO. Don't mess with big dudes who really know how to fight.

I also beleive Usyk can clinch it ... Hard task but who knows ...He'll come in at Wilder weigh and with much better skills... He's still a 220lbs dude throwing punches, so Fury might get hurt ...

its going to be comic see fury trying to get into the head of usyk, he needs to get down low dirty boxing & maybe even come out to the weighin with a russian flag (scratch that maybe not), just ask usyk did he ever even get within 10 miles of a russian in ukraine might be enough

[hugh grant]

Any fight in history of the sport of boxing between the no1 and no2 anyone can win. Even if fury weighed 18 stone and usyk weighed 13 stone it's a pickem fight. The overriding factor is they are no1 and no2 and that point alone winner is uncertain

[MoneyKasha]

Fury has a much better jab than AJ......its gonna be a tough night for Usyk dealing with that Jab, not going to lie

that, more than size, is the difference in the fight compared to AJ

If Fury is to lose to Usyk, it will due to fatiguing in the second half of the fight.

People for a long time? Have been pining and championing Fury's endurance.

Well, where are the great feats of endurance from Fury and against who?

Fury's endurance is good, but it is being overrated.

Fury vs Wilder I, moderate paced fight. Fury vs Wilder II, Wilder was all over the place from start to finish. Balance and I don't think he put Fury under the pressure to really test his endurance.

Fury vs Wilder III, both fighters were fatigue from round 3 and on wards. Badly fatigued, making mistakes 'Which other past great fights would of capitalized on'

Joshua is out throwing Fury, in all three Wilder fights. Yes I know the last two Wilder fights did not go the distance, but still the third fight nearly did 'And from what I have researched with the data, it did not look like Fury was going to match Joshua's work rate'.

And Joshua's endurance is not one of his strongest area's.

Fury vs Wilder III was a awesome fight in terms of the competition and passion. But go back and check the action, skill for skill I am actually going to state something very controversial now?

Skill for skill Fury vs Wilder III, the action displayed was not as high as Joshua vs Usyk 2.

Tyson Fury was getting out of shape all the time, and if only Wilder could come straight down the middle with his punches 'He may have won, or at-least knocked down Fury even more times'.

Tyson Fury can endure and push through fights when he is fatigued 'This is one of his strengths'. But Tyson Fury does get fatigued, and when he does I think he starts making mistakes.

Usyk will probably see these mistakes and capitalize on them, but I don't think he has to power to get Fury out of there 'With a single punch'. So I expect heavy bombardment, Joe Calzaghe type intensity.

Usyk for me has to beat these guys at Heavyweight, then get out of the division. Because in all honesty? I think Fury knows how to beat him, the only reason why I think he will lose is down to endurance 'On the sly, Joshua lost the second fight on endurance'.

Yes Usyk is the better all around boxer than Joshua, but Joshua could still get to him and hit him. If he could of produced multiple rounds like round 9 'It is a different fight'.

I am actually going to state something very controversial now?

Skill for skill Fury vs Wilder III, the action displayed was not as high as Joshua vs Usyk 2.

Will be very controversial on here. But I completely agree. Wilder v Fury 3 was a poor fighter against an out of shape fighter. Great fun, but not high class boxing.

The second fight was them at their best. That's why it was an absolute beatdown.
