    Can Usyk knock Fury out?

    The answer is yes. In fact he might do that as Fury chin when tested is chinny.

    I think it's very unlikely. Usyk won't be going for a knockout - that's a recipe for them to come together and Usyk will want to be in and out

      He can stun him, he's got the fastest hands at heavyweight. Usyk isn't going in there with that in mind though. What should be on his mind is it goes to decision and eddie Hearn already ****** off quintillionaire oil moguls to get Fury the fight with AJ cause he knows Usyk will beat AJ again.

        Doubt he can get a combo off faster than Ruiz. Advantage would be his feet.

          Usyk can possibly TKO Fury late, with it being more to do with physical exhaustion.

            Yes, and I think he will. The only chance I see for Fury as of now is managing to open a horrible gash, Tim Tszyu-like, somewhere on Usyk's head. Otherwise I can easily see Usyk's superior intelligence and athleticism frustrating a gradually huffing-and-puffing Fury, until a wicked combination stuns him for a TKO loss.

              He can stop him on cuts, Fury can quit with a phantom knee injury, or he can drag Fury out to deep waters and tire his big ass out. Doesn't have to be a brutal one punch KO

                Idk if he's got the fastest hands, Ruiz, Parker and that young kid from the UK I forget his name but all 3 may have something to say about that.

                He's got a combination of excellent handspeed and excellent timing though which those other 3 don't have the latter.

                  Fury has not got much of a route to victory, and looking for a fluke cut won't be his approach.

                  If I was training fury I'd be advising him to slow the pace of the fight down as much as possible, he should not attack Usyk, he needs to try and be crafty, pop a jab then back up and try and get Usyk chasing, Fury can back up to the ropes and then take a step off and grab Usyk as he moves to attack, then clinch up and lean, the crowd will be booing but it's really Fury's only realistic chance is to get his size in to play as much as possible and drain all the rhythm out of the fight.

                    If Fury can take Wilder's biggest shots. I know he can take Usyk best shots. The question is can Usyk take fury's shots.
