Comments Thread For: Fury: Usyk Beat The Bodybuilder and All of a Sudden He's The Killer - I Don't Think So!

I like the pair of of them but I have a feeling there's going to be an injury.

When Tyson Fury faces Usyk, it will be the first time since Kiltschko that? He has faced another elite level fighter with elite level technical skills.

Wilder was a elite level fight, but in terms of skill? He was not a elite level challenge. Yes Wilder is game, has elite level power and I do rate his Jab. But outside of that, I don't really think he is pushing any all-time great fighter skill for skill etc.

Fury consistently fights fighters who are nowhere near his skill level. Anthony Joshua since his 17th professional fight has fought a higher level of competition than Fury in terms of skill 'I stated this when they were in talks to fight, Joshua is a more experienced fighter at World & Elite level'.

So Fury vs Usyk will be interesting from that perspective. But make no doubt about it, Tyson Fury is the favorite. Nobody can deny, that he is a big time performer.

When he is posed with a big fight and challenge, he thus-far has performed.

Just so we get Fury/Usyk, I'm fine with this fight. Not his toughest challenge, obviously,
but he has in fact fought some amazing fights the past 5 years IMO. I don't see anyone
beating Fury... and his performances prove it to me. Usyk will definitely be the litmus test,
and when it does happen... it will be a huge fight that will be great for the sport.

Once Fury easily dispatches Usyk in Q1 2023, all the Usyk worshippers will go back to claiming he is a small fighter who was meant to lose at heavyweight. Eddie Hearn fanboys will have to invent new mental gymnastics to justify themselves. Wilder knocking out Ruiz will be the icing on the cake, Hearn is already terrified of Wilder vs Ruiz outcome.

WTF... does this have to do with Fury fighting a guy 3 times that lost to everyone but Wilder? Just sayn.

For the record, Eddie Hearn thinks Ruiz beats Wilder, Wilder doesn't want to fight Ruiz, Fury isn't fighting Usyk and Usyk will always be a blown up cruiser-weight. Siri, Google, Alexa, lots of easy sources for info.

Fury/Chisora 3 is an utterly pointless fight. Fury wants an easy stay busy bout going into the Christmas season and it will probably sell well given Chisora is a UK fan favorite even though he's damaged and shop worn. This should be very similar to the Whyte fight with Chisora looking slow and ponderous, swinging wildly and getting caught within 6 by a massive counter.
As for Wilder/Ruiz. I don't see this being anywhere near 50/50. I don't see any improvement in Ruiz since the first Joshua fight. His feet are slow which is expected given his weight and he has short arms. All Wilder needs to do is move laterally for a while, use his jab and wait for Ruiz to walk onto massive bombs. Ruiz gets KO'd in the first 6 as well.

I don't think Eddie actually thinks Ruiz beats Wilder. He's just hoping Ruiz beats Wilder so AJ's KO loss doesn't look so bad. It's just more damage control and typical promoter nonsense. Eddie is desperate to take the attention away from the Benn situation and is praying that if Wilder and Ruiz fight, Ruiz doesn't get obliterated which would help AJ's reputation. This is coming from someone who was and still is a Joshua fan, given his desire to fight the best and never backing down from a challenge. I was also a Benn fan before he was exposed as a cheater of epic proportions given the substance he tested positive for.

I kind of agree with Fury on this one. Usyk beat Joshua because Joshua could not impose his strength and size on Usyk and fought guy-shy the whole fight trying to outbox Usyk rather than overpower him. Usyk looked more uncomfortable against Chisora than he did against Joshua.

Fury may lose to Joshua or Joyce but I think he demolishes Usyk.

I render my unbiased observations on all delinquents in boxing, regardless of race and nationality. But you wouldn't know that because you have no knowledge on other boxers, but the ones you cheer for, you are the type of member that I loathe : Dumb, femininely emotional, paranoid of racism, and harasser of well respected members.

1inch****, all of a sudden doing a little P.R. statement that contradicts your many past white hating racist remarks. You are a pathetic p.o.s. every one here knows it and deep down you know it. You are a un respected pile of ****

[JakeTheBoxer]

Says Fury, who fights Chisora next.

Well Peter, you know 2022 is nearly over, and I'm trying to win the Poster of The Year for the second year in a row. Can I count on your vote, Pedro?
