A great big man beats a great little man. But is usyk special? It's tough to call. When fight is signed and I've seen face off and body language then I'll decideComment

I never claimed they won the fights, but both men had lots of success, as did Briedis and others.
The only thing Usyk is gonna do against Fury is get on his bike.Comment

Usyk has greater foot speed, movement, hand speed, combination punch speed, endurance.
From mid-long range skill for skill, they are quite level.
The main area where Tyson Fury is superior to Usyk, is 'Inside game'.
And this is very influential attribute, because it involves multiple dimensions to it's application.
Defense, rough house tactics, offense. All encompassed a top level inside game.
Fury's inside game is not super great, but make no doubt about it? Fury has a inside game.
This is something which does seem to be lacking, in today's Heavyweights at elite level.
Derek Chisora and possibly Andy Ruiz Junior are the only other Heavyweights with a inside game.
Most of the Heavyweights these days, all seem to like to box from Mid-Long Range, very few have rough house skills or a solid inside game.
Usyk has never shown much of a effective inside game, the two fights with Joshua were fought at Mid-Long range etc.
In general in boxing today, the higher you go up in levels. The less boxers seem to want to use a inside game, there is also a complete neglect of body attacks.
Note: If Usyk is to beat Tyson Fury, I think he needs to show another dimension to his game.
