    It's time to let the fat, giant, slow heavyweights fight. They don't seem to be able to keep up with the little guy. They lack the cardio and reflexes.

        It looked like Fury came i to this fight with the intention of bullying Usyk but he just couldn't grab ahold of him. He couldn't lean on him and push him around. He tried a bit later in the fight when Usyk had slowed down a bit, but it didn't work.

        In the first round Fury came out aggressively, but he wasn't able to pin Usyk down..., so he reverted to fighting off his back foot. He just isn't good enough to handle the middleweight.

          He landed a few shots on Usyk that definitely rocked him, but Usyk always moves, and he saw all of those shots coming. Fury didn't catch Usyk with anything surprising.

          Fury's power was tremendous when he was significantly more mobile than the opponent - Whyte, Chisora, Wilder. Those guys' legs are nowhere close to Fury's level. So Fury buckled down in the wieght room, developed some power, and started knocking out sitting ducks. Usyk was different - he's more mobile than Fury. Landing on him is rough. Nobody has really landed many shots on Usyk.

            Fury has never been a big puncher

            Wilder is/was mega chinny and so was Dillian Whyte

            Fury landed the kitchen sink on the likes of Wallin, Chisora, Ngannou and more and couldn't knock them over

            AJ is mega chinny so if fury fights him next he might look destructive again but he's not destructive against good defensive boxers with good chins and never has been if you look at his career as a whole.

              Usyk is the exception rather than the rule when it comes to small heavyweights.

              Most of them don't have the stamina, speed, chin and skill of Usyk, and if you don't have all of that then the size usually shows, the Klitschko bros made careers out of poleaxing cruiserweights

              I predict it will be a long time before we see anyone replicate what Usyk has done, it's a generational feat.

                I think Fury`s only chance was going for a KO in the first half.

                He should have gone all inn.
