After Anthony Joshua had fought and been beaten by Oleksandr Uysk twice, only one former fighter 'Gave the most straight forward and tactically sound methods to fight Oleksandr Uysk, for a Super Heavyweight 'And that man is Audley Harrison'.
The one time Harrison was interviewed, he stated that 'Anthony Joshua needs to fight, a big man styled fight. The classical big man styled fight, that former all-time great Super Heavyweight fighters such as Lennox Lewis, Wladimir Kiltschko and Vitali Kiltschko all applied vs classical styled physique Heavyweight fighters like Oleksandr Uysk'.
I just think that, both Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury 'Although they are good Super Heavyweight Fighters, and 2 of the 3 greatest Heavyweight fighters from their era. The battles they are having with Oleksandr Uysk are showing, that they are levels below truly all-time great Super Heavyweight fighters'.
Tyson Fury stated it himself 'Historically whenever this stylistic match up has occurred before in history, the super heavyweight fighters most of the time have been the dominant fighter'. And I have always maintained that stylistically Oleksandr Uysk would of been a straight forward fight, for past all-time great Super Heavyweight fighters such as Lennox Lewis and Wladimir Kiltschko'.
When you analyse Tyson Fury and his team 'You will see that they are making this fight vs Oleksandr Uysk II a extremely complex challenge. And the reason why they are doing this? Is because Fury has never shown the ability in his career, to fight the traditional classic big man styled fight at a very high level, and neither has Anthony Joshua'.
And this is why the notion that Tyson Fury hypothetically head to head, would be able to just wade through past Heavyweight fighters from the 90's, 80's and 70's 'That notion as of right now is nonsensical, there is not enough evidence in Fury's career that shows he has that level of ability. Because if he is being smashed up, and backed up all night by Oleksandr Uysk who is a great boxer, but he is not a power puncher or renowned for his brute strength. Tyson Fury in my opinion on the form he has shown thus-far in his career, would not be dominant Super Heavyweight in the 90's, 80's or 70's boxing era's'.
Although I rate Oleksandr Uysk extremely highly, he is the most accomplished active fighter in the sport of boxing 'Uysk's wins over both Fury and Joshua are pound for pound, the greatest feats of achievement in the sport of boxing in the last 15 years'.
Note: A great Super Heavyweight fighter, should be able just to stick their jab out against Oleksandr Uysk 'Win the battle of the jabs, and dominate from mid to long range. That will not be easy, because Uysk is a great boxer. But up against a peak Lennox Lewis or Wladimir Kiltschko? I would back Lewis and Kiltschko to eventually win that battle. From this point, Lewis's and Kiltschko's opponents were forced to then try and ether ambush them or apply pressure. Their opponent's would be tied up on the inside, and wrestled to then be pushed off and bombarded from mid to long range'.
What I have just described there was the classical big man style fight 'That Lennox Lewis and The Kiltschko's tactically used in all their most dominant performances'.
Lennox Lewis when he fought David Tua, Evander Holyfield, Mike Tyson, Tommy Morrison and many more 'Fighters who I would regard as classical styled physique Heavyweight fighter's. Go and watch those fights, Lewis did not wade forward vs those fighters. But he also never backed up all night, Lewis stood his ground and fought out of a boxing zone defense'.
And we witnessed Wladimir Kitschko also apply this same big man styled fight, whenever stylistically they were in that sort of match up. Lamon Brewster vs Wladimir Kiltschko II, David Haye vs Wladimir Kiltschko. Those are two solid fights, were Wladimir Kiltschko made fighting two extremely dangerous fighters and skillful fighters in regards to David Haye. Kiltschko tactically made those fights, very straight forward. Because that is what a truly all-time great Super Heavyweight should have the capability to do.
David Haye was effectively the Oleksandr Uysk of his era 'But with game altering power, in the form of Hayemaker's. David Haye the Lineal Ring ****zine, WBC, WBA, WBO, Cruiserweight Champion. And Haye technically should of been the Undisputed Cruiserweight Champion, Jean Marc Mormeck had beaten O'Neil bell who was the IBF World Champion and avenged a loss, but Bell was stripped of the IBF title'.
David Haye was my fighter 'But I will be honest. Wladimir Kiltschko made that fight, more straight forward than Fury and Joshua did against Oleksandr Uysk. Because that is what all-time great Super Heavyweights should do vs classical physique styled Heavyweights'.
A zone defense is where a basketball player stands in a key and has their specific area to defend, once the opposing players attempt to break through that zone defense 'The basketball players defend their area zones and stand their ground'.
It is very similar in boxing, and especially in the Heavyweight division's in regards to certain fighters. Lennox Lewis and Wladimir Kiltschko at their peak, when they are executing their most efficient fight. They were most of the time fighting out of a zone type defense, and once their opponent's attempted to close that range? They just stuck out their jab, won the battle of the jabs and then proceeded to systematically beat down their opponents from mid to long range'.
Those type of defensive tactics is an alternative to man to man marking 'A classical style Heavyweight fighter like Oleksandr Uysk, is going to be fighting more from a man to man defensive and attacking system at Heavyweight against Super Heavyweight fighters. Whereas great Super Heavyweight fighters utilize more a zone defense and offense system'.
To conclude: So therefore, it is a correct observation that Tyson Fury needs a different approach to fighting Oleksandr Uysk II. But that different approach is not difficult to identify 'Tyson Fury needs to behave and fight, like a true all-time great Super Heavyweight fighter in this rematch. Fury does not need to be backing up all night, or just wading forward and stylistically making the fight much more easier for Uysk. Tyson Fury needs to stand his ground in his zone, win the battle of the jabs. And then disrupt the offensive and ambush attacks of Oleksandr Uysk, with aspect's of his inside game such as wrestling a tying a fighter up. Once Fury establishes some sort of dominance in this area, that is when he should begin to dominate from mid to long range. This will not be easy, because pound for pound Oleksandr Uysk is actually a superior athlete and fighter to Tyson Fury, but? The very fact that Tyson Fury is a super heavyweight fighter, and we know that he can switch up his game dramatically on a fight by fight basis. Those factors are what is keeping Fury in this fight, and the reason why? I still give him a serious chance of winning this rematch' etc.
