      Nice opinion. Is he willing to put his money where his mouth is though?

        I will also be favouring Usyk to win if the fight happens in Saudi, rather than in the UK or US, where Fury would be more likely to get away with mauling, leaning and wrestling, etc. If it's a clean boxing match, Fury will have a very hard time dealing with Usyk's speed, mobility and accurate punches.

          "His boxing ability is superior, in my opinion, to everyone else in the heavyweight division. What he lacks in natural size, he makes up for in timing, shot placement, adjustments of feet, tempo ... "

          Nobody could say that about Wilder with a straight face, not even Malik Scott.

            Usyk just got knocked out by Dubios via bodyshot, Groves is cracked.

              There is nothing wrong with rough house tactics, it is apart of the game 'Usyk will have to overcome that aspect of Fury's game'.

              Fury is really skill for skill only superior in one area compared to Usyk 'That area is Inside game'.

              Endurance, Speed, Movement, Combinations, Mid To Long Range game 'I belief Usyk is actually a superior fighter to Fury, and has more proven form of late'.

              Usyk will have to be superior skill for skill in order to negate the difference in dimensions, of fighting another Super Heavyweight etc.

                Groves obv is entitled to his opinion even more so than us mere fans but i strongly disagree with him i think Fury will take him out within 9 rounds.

                  There's a fine line between rough house tactics and fouls. It's up to the ref to decide where that line is drawn and refs, same as other human beings, can be "influenced".

                    Usyk was hit low. The slo-mo footage you posted many times proved that conclusively.

                    Thanks for posting it and settling the debate!
