    Who is the best jabber Usyk faced prior to Fury and how did that go?

    I am confident Usyk is going to whoop Fury. The only doubt I have is how he deals with the jab of fury... Usyk has only faced punchers in the division so far.

    I want some data on how usyk has dealt with great jabbers with superior reach.

    Did plenty of sparring against Wlad,and apparently gave him more than he could handle,to the point that he had to be asked to leave the ring.

        Sparring doesn't count.

            Fury’s not a great jabber he’s just got quick hands but they are loopy floppy technique. If he didn’t have an 85 inch reach he’d be getting dropped a lot more trust me .

            Usyks matched jabs with Dubois and more importantly Joshua twice those are better jabbers then Fury . Many think DDD is the best jabber ? If Fury thinks he can win this with a jab he’s going to lose he will not out jab Usyk ,he is a master at using jabs against fighters ,Fury can only jab and head lock Usyk coming to stop any counter attack coming afterwards and I’m assuming he’s going to attempt exactly that particularly once he realizes his jab is useless.

              He turned it on after the 3rd as he always does. Not Usyk's fault Bellew couldn't take a punch. Usyk won 4-7 and stopped him in the 7th.

                Watch how Teo controlled Loma with a SHARP, snapping jab. It worked. Now imagine Teo is 6 inches taller and weighs 44 pounds more than Loma.
                That’s what we’re looking at at Fury vs Usyk. It’s not a fair fight but that’s the heavyweight division.

                    That fight really could've gone either way. I remember lots of people had it a draw, myself included. You really couldn't complain if Briedis got the decision. WBSS were always setting up the final to be Usyk vs Gassiev though, so Briedis wasn't winning a decision.

                    It was razor close
