    All those Wilder knock downs took something out of Fury.

    He is not the same fighter.

    Nah I think he was pretty good vs Usyk, and would still beat every single other HW right now, even if he isn't quite the same. TBH which boxer is the same after each fight? I forget who said this (Bradley maybe), that there is always some of you left in the ring that you never get back. Admittedly this was probably more relevant after he lost the majority of his brain cells after the Provodnikov brutality, but it makes sense.

      i think he was significantly better than either wilder 1 or 3. Hard to say much about wilder 2, as wilder was very poor that fight.

        I rate the Wilder 2 performance but more for what I saw from Fury than what I ever saw from Wilder in any fight. That's a very credible win regardless of Wilder's cv.

        I think this was the best Fury since Klitschko by some margin. And I don't think he was as close to Usyk as some are making out.

        Great fight, but Usyk is next level. We're lucky to be witnessing an all time great.

          Round 1-2 there was not much in it at all so i can see why rd 2 could go either way. From 3 onwards i thought Fury was winning the next few comfortably. I think it all change when Furys nose got busted, i thought that might change things he had an issue with it and it was the next round where Usyk had him all over the ring. Then 12th i thought Fury won. Overall i thought it was 6-6 with the 10-8 round giving it to Usyk. So the right winner but it was a good fight and deserves the rematch clearly these 2 are the top 2 in the division just Usyk is 1 now

              I think Fury was in a very good shape and Wilder fights didn`t took much from him.

              He was moving forward, out, out-boxing, counterpunching, searching angles, doing everything.

              Just, he is a little older now, his legs from 5-6 years ago are not there and, to be honest, Usyk was the best fighter he fought since Klitshcko fight.

                Just want to say, seeing your signature picture always makes me smile. A beautiful pic if I ever saw one.
