    He's been in with Chisora, Dubois, Joshua twice, Fury... and while he's been stung, and backed away after a shot, he's never really looked too damaged.

    I think he's passed the chin test at heavyweight.
    Exactly! Fury landed some really good uppercuts and body shots that clearly bothered Usyk. I think he needs to focus on the body even more and consistently feint and attack Usyk when he’s trying to establish his front foot pressure. He also needs to be more defensively responsible on the inside. He was extremely lackadaisical in the first fight and paid for it.

      This is the talk of sparring partners, their insight is always "he looks better than ever". Anything else would be n indictment if the fighter and camp that is paying them.

        Rematches usually favor the more technical fighter.

        Plus Fury has been dropped 6 times in his last 8 fights and 8 times overall, not to mention multiple cuts. I think his durability has started to fade as all the abuse he's put his body through (alcohol, drugs, weight fluctuations, PEDs, Wilder right hands, etc) catches up to him.

        I think Usyk stops him this time. Usyk has been in the gym, Fury has been getting fall down drunk and crawling through the streets on his hands and knees.

          Would a draw warrant a third fight?

            That's my point, they weren't able to follow up on his being hurt. Dubios couldn't cuz it was deemed a low blow. Tyson didnt for whatever the reason. This time of hurt Tyson should go all out for it.
