Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder: I'll Be Very Surprised If Usyk Stick To His Word; We'll See What Happens

He might as well because Fury won't be ready until late spring, early summer, after Chisora!

i think fury is one of those guys who can actually fight quickly after a fight, wouldnt be surprised if fury does fight this year and again march of next year, which would suit both guys i think

That is not the logic, since they'd make more money in the US. Filling stadiums with 80,000 fans that pay $25 a ticket doesn't gross more money.

I keep telling you guys that 80k filled stadiums is smoke and mirrors because the tickets are so cheap. Packing them in the MgM Grand with the cheapest tickets being sold at 1500 dollars is the way to go champ!

Athletic has to do with stamina , balance and coordination . Usyk is miles ahead in just about every category . I think Usyk could avoid any punch from Wilder all night long if he wanted until Wilder got dizzy from missing so much which I assume would actually happen if they fought ? You can claim Wilder would win but he has to do it he is not over Usyk in any way beyond power punching which has never dealt Usyk a loss in his entire career .

The problem I have with this theory of Usyk avoiding punches is that it’s just not realistic. Has he avoided being hit in any of his Heavyweight fights? Chrisora landed some good ones on him and his face was wrecked from AJ. Even Floyd/Whitaker couldn’t avoid getting hit for 12rds and you telling me Usyk will? He won’t be able to lean on Wilder like Fury did either. There is just no way he can avoid being hit as I consider Fury the slickest HW in the division and even he got hit by Wilder. Wilder took a brutal beating from a 6’7 280lb Fury before the fight was called off and he still wanted to continue. Usyk has won all his HW fights by decision does he have enough power to keep Wilder off of him?

This needs repeating...

You should ask Usyk he’s the one who has mentioned Wilder name for the last 2 months. Wilder didn’t mention him.

However Fury is one fo those guys who might retire at any given moment! Usyk can count on Wilder!

In a world where things make sense it'd be Fury/Usyk and AJ/Wilder. But boxing is far far away from that world.

When you are a elite level fighter, who is fighting at domestic or high end European level. Then yes, you can fight quickly after a fight. But this is the standard Fury is held to, he is not held to the same standard as Anthony Joshua even as a Champion.

Joshua & Usyk have just fought two back to back fights at super elite level. 12 round fights.

Tyson Fury's next fight is basically a domestic to high end European Level. Joshua has not fought at this level for a very long time 'Joshua's next fight will still be at World level'.

No disrespect to Chisora, but he is not quite at World level anymore. I don't think he has to wins to prove this. Although yes, he did push Usyk 'And I am still adamant that if he did not fatigue, he would of beaten that version of Usyk'.

But that was then, this is now.

I still don't mind the Chisora fight for Fury. And I do expect Fury to fight twice, before fighting Usyk or for the undisputed title.

Chisora vs Fury III, then maybe Wallin vs Fury II.

They are not bad ticking over fights, and they are intriguing events.

Yea Usyk and AJ want no part of Wilder.

[Roberto Vasquez]

Wilder lots of stamina?

He was completely gassed out in the last 2 Fury fights by the 5th round!

Usyk went 24 rounds with AJ and was still owning him in the 12th of both those fights.

Wilder came in heavy and Fury leant on him. Did you watch the first fight? Like people say, if Chisora can hit Usyk, Wilder can

Wilder-Ruiz is next. The risk-reward not worth it for Usyk and his team will advise to look elsewhere.

Agree with this. I think Usyk both Wilder and Fury is high risk but atleast with fury he probably gets paid more and a shot at unification even if its a long shot he wins.

Wilder is a high risk but more people will be expecting Usyk to win, but there is very high risk he gets sparked out. He can win 98% of every second of the fight and it doesnt matter if wilder catches him.
