    The only reason Fury hasn't been knocked out v Usyk is his size.

    The difference in ability is huge.

      Even with only 12 fights I believe he's a much better challenger than Dubois who has never impressed me. I don't think he beats Usyk at this stage of his career but he provides a much more exciting fight to look forward to than Parker, Fury, or Joshua.

        Despite what people try to tell themselves, Fury completely dominated Rounds 1-7 vs Usyk in fight 1. Boxed his ears off, before being caught in the nose and losing R8, R9 (10-8) and R10, Fury then won the last two rounds as well. Fury won the first fight clearly, although after a strong Fury effort the first half of the rematch, the massively out-of-shape fighter lost it down the stretch to Usyk. It's 1-1, we all know it. Nobody else can touch these two.

        Usyk vs Fury 3 in London, for all the Marbles... and a few belts, and let's see definitively, who the best fighter on the Planet is. I would not watch Parker vs Usyk, it's an absolute joke of a fight, and I don't even think Parker would beat Dubois. Fury is the only one now, with the Great Wilder now being a shadow of his former self. Nash out - His Majesty - and the Voice of Boxing
        false fury lost twice, why do part 3 when u didnt even win 1? money wise yes and that usually prevails.

            Itauma is by far too green. has he ever fought past 6 rounds?

            Itauma needs rounds, he needs at least 3-4 fights to get ready. 3 of that fights should go past 10 round.

              Usyk was pushing a pace that Fury could only handle for roughly 3-4 rounds but it forced him to be reckless, out of pace and almost sparked out, also made him gun shy for the rest of the first fight and second fight.

                Fury v josh and ddd. Then fury qualified for usyk. But fury although unlikely to best usyk, can lay claim to being usyk toughest opponent

                  Fury has been physically declining since Wilder 2 4 years ago.

                  He will only be physically worse in any third Usyk fight.

                  Fury still has some skills and more boxing brain than almost all other heavyweights outside of Usyk but physically his time is done.

                      It really isn't. Fury was outclassing him for rounds at a time in some parts of the fights
