    Because it wasn't to do with power. It was foot position. He could set himself v Wilder because the dude has no balance and doesn't know how to place this feet.

    Against Usyk, Fury couldn't out position him. Usyk always had his right foot on the outside, forcing Fury to walk onto left hands.

    Easy to say walk though it, but he just couldn't set himself so knew he wouldn't land while he would've got countered.

    Settled for trying to jab and avoid falling in too much, played it safe because... Well he didn't have a choice. He simply couldn't walk forward because he lost foot position.

      When you're nearing 7 foot tall and 300 pounds and you are on the back foot for nearly 8 rounds against a significantly smaller opponent, I classify that as an ass whipping. Not a monumental ass whipping, but why split hairs? Fury NEVER beats Usyk. That man has his number. Now and forever.

        Agree.
        How can Fury have every physical advantage in weight, height, reach, mass and be on the backfoot for as many rounds as he was over the course of 24 rounds!
        Freaking embarrassing. At least AJ and Chisora were pushing Usyk back.

            Maybe punch for punch but the difference is the delivery. Usyk can surprise you and the punch you don’t see will hurt ya.

              its because wilders power is overrated. he was fighting weak opposition to get kos. his ko% is 33 percent against top 10(ring) fighters. the days of "if wilder hits you, its goodnight" should be replaced with "if wilder hits a tomato can, its goodnight tomato can"

                He is a beaten man, he will never again reach the heights he once did, no more best HW ever talk, that's over. Finally.

                  Usyk did a lot by beating this giant. These fights should not be made with 50+ lbs advantage. New division from 230 up.

                    I won't say that it was a fight purely for Usyk, because the Gypsy King also had his moments, but I personally didn't like the fact that Fury just ran out of the ring after the winner was announced. Btw, what do you think about the rematch with Dubois? Does Daniel have any chance at all of showing his worth the second time?

                      I see the rematch ending similarly. Dubois is more confident now, but the best version of Usyk is on another level. Usyk by TKO, again.
