Comments Thread For: Oleksandr Usyk: With God's Help, I Will Finish All This Work, I'll Be Able To Box Three Tyson Furys

Going to have be careful with over training its been a long camp.

That's one of key aspects of concern now with the fight being delayed literally a week and a half before it was supposed to happen. Dudes had a full training camp and now got three more months to figure out what to do till the new date. Hopefully they find a way to avoid that.

The first rule about Tyson Fury "you don't talk about Tyson Fury"....

How do you know Tyson Fury's at your party?

...

He'll tell ya.

I’ve seen Tyson fury rise up from being knocked out cold and look like a guy who hasn’t even been punched. I’m pretty sure if god likes anyone, it’s Tyson fury

[letsgochump]

Even God himself won't be able to get Fury to the rings. Tyson doesn't want it and he will do anything and everything to avoid legit fighters. He went life and death with Otto Wallin, Francis Ngannou and Twerkin' Deontay.

I dont think the fight will ever happen at this point, or if it does it wont be May or anytime soon. Fury is either never gonna take the fight or hes gonna fully age Usyk out. If the May date falls through (it will) Usyk should just bow out imo, guy is a 37 year old small HW, the risk/reward of sticking around isnt great for him.

"Small Heavyweight" is a term that needs to cease. There's nothing small about any man who weighs 201+, regardless of height..

And he's 6'3, for Heaven's sake! Mike Tyson was 5'10.

The only thing "small" about Usyk is that he competed as a Cruiserweight.

Things aren't going well for Tyson Fury.

It's been 2 years since he's fought a highly ranked boxer (Dillian Whyte) and since then, he hasn't really looked good.

The 3rd Chisora fight was a sparring session, and the Ngannou fight an embarrassment. I have doubts that he has the same hunger that he used to have.

I've never seen him with such a serious cut right before a major fight. The timing of it, and the severity of the cut, it's very su****ious and unusual for something like this to happen.

He's not small until you get to the "upper echelons" even then it's debatable as Fury said he's just you run of the mill heavyweight not skillswise ofc most modern heavyweights are about 6'2/3 220-30

The ring top 10 and of course Usyk who's the ring champ is 6'3 78" reach 221 pounds

1. 6'9 actually 6'7 85" reach 277 pounds
2. 6'6 82" reach 251 pounds
3. 6'6 80" reach 287 pounds
4. 6'4 76" reach 245 pounds
5. 6'6 82" reach 246 pounds
6. 6'4 78" reach 238 pounds
7. 6'4 78" reach 239 pounds
8. 6'5 80" reach 281 pounds
9. 6'7 (allegedly) 83" reach 213 pounds
10. 6'3 80" reach 241 pounds

This is where you are going to see the most if not all of the outliers as the "game of inches" plays the biggest role, height and reach particularly reach will have the biggest impact.

We are talking about HW boxing not regular people in the street. He was 12lbs lighter than Dubois, 20+ lighter than AJ, almost 40lbs lighter than Chisora, and could be as much as 50lbs lighter than Fury if they ever fought. When you're giving up physical advantages like that you have to work that much harder in other areas (skills, gas tank/volume etc) to compensate for it.

Well he definitely out works Fury and he's more skilled as well.

Jesus in one round against Joshua he almost threw as much as Fury throws typically over a quarter of a fight, Furys engine is a myth based on his low output and huge rests he takes leaning on people...

[landotter]

All I am sure about this fight is Usyk will be ready. Fury is the unknown here, but unlike most I do think Fury realizes he needs to be ready or be embarrassed..
