And it's over. He's so good. That knock-out was brutal. I'll have to go back and watch some of his other fights.You're in for a treat then! Another big knockdown in the 5th too. They don't call him the Monster for nothing.

Definitely do, he's a fantastic fighter.And it's over. He's so good. That knock-out was brutal. I'll have to go back and watch some of his other fights.
Fury has a lot of haters on here; genuine question - does anyone’s opinion change if he wins next weekend?What date do we reckon the Fury Usyk will get cancelled?
Never know what to expect from him. He could try cagey or fight like he did against Wilder which I think is his best option anyway try and tire him out.Fury has a lot of haters on here; genuine question - does anyone’s opinion change if he wins next weekend?
I feel like the Ngannou performance might end up being a good thing and has given him a kick up the backside. He looks in great shape and I think he’ll revert back to boxing more than people expect.
I don't mind Fury, if he wins opinions about him will change no different to how he was heralded when stopping Wilder for the first time.Fury has a lot of haters on here; genuine question - does anyone’s opinion change if he wins next weekend?

I think using his size to try and make it physical and tire Usyk out is what people think will be his tactics but he was countered relatively easily by Ngannou and he could easily drop 3-4 rounds quickly against someone as skilled as Usyk being too aggressive.Never know what to expect from him.

It's a must watch fight for a change anyway hope the local puts it on.I think using his size to try and make it physical and tire Usyk out is what people think will be his tactics but he was countered relatively easily by Ngannou and he could easily drop 3-4 rounds quickly against someone as skilled as Usyk being too aggressive.
I think he can still use his size advantage by boxing.
I think that’s a fair assessment.I don't mind Fury, if he wins opinions about him will change no different to how he was heralded when stopping Wilder for the first time.
I think his CV does lack some panache but Usyk is undoubtedly pound for pound up there with Crawford and Inoue. It would be a bigger win objectively for Tyson's career as opposed to the status of being undisputed.
It sets up a brilliant showdown for Joshua (2025), and if Anthony maintains his buzz throughout that period, beating a game Usyk and rejuvenated Joshua is a great way to close the chapter for Tyson.
Even with those victories, I don't think he can rub shoulders with your Evanders, Lewis's or a Joe Louis in the all time conversation for instance, but respectfully, the current landscape of heavyweights isn't at a criteria that would demand any fighter reach those heights.
I think the difference with Ngannou is that Fury underestimated the strength. Fury loves to out muscle opponents and put his weight on them, just couldn’t do that with a guy like Ngannou who trains that on a regular basis coming from MMA.I think using his size to try and make it physical and tire Usyk out is what people think will be his tactics but he was countered relatively easily by Ngannou and he could easily drop 3-4 rounds quickly against someone as skilled as Usyk being too aggressive.

I get it as a tactic, and he’s be stupid to not employ it at times, but he’s only really been like that from Wilder 2 onwards which has coincided with Sugar Hill in charge. He’s made himself more vulnerable by being reckless and aggressive when he doesn’t have that sort of power.I think the difference with Ngannou is that Fury underestimated the strength.

There’s no way I can see Usyk dealing with that in the way Ngannou did.
Finished his cycle?Fury looks in great shape.
He is a natural boxer and some of the comments post Francis will have stung. I get frustrated by his antics sometimes but his head movement and footwork are delightful when he is interested.
Hard to say for sure but he could just have cut all his excess body fat through training hard. His body doesn't scream roids. He looks naturally lean.Finished his cycle?
I jest, a little bit. He obviously has form for it and has bad company. But anyway. Don’t like the bloke but if he knocks over Usyk then Joshua he will have some legitimacy on his record, rather than the joke it is at the momentHard to say for sure but he could just have cut all his excess body fat through training hard. His body doesn't scream roids. He looks naturally lean.
He’s been working with nutritionist Greg Marriott again. I think he helped him shift all the weight when he first made his comeback but they had an enforced break when Marriott got cancer.Hard to say for sure but he could just have cut all his excess body fat through training hard.

What a fecking lowlife animal he really is.Tweet

sometimes ? He has to be the most dislikeable Boxer ever.Its just hard to like Fury sometimes. He sucks up so hard to the Saudis and his entourage including Dad are just a bunch of wasters and animals.
That's probably why. Most boxing fans of the present aren't old enough to remember it and he did do several years in jail for it at the time, so most tend to place it in the "he paid his debt to society by going to prison" category.Genuine question, not trying to piss off his fans.
Mike Tyson seems to get plenty of love and admiration online. Why does his rape conviction not get brought up as much in comparison to other celebrities who have similar troubled histories?
Is it how long it was ago, the fact that he's served time for it etc.?
Genuinely curious.
Unbelievable, the moron should be banned.Did he just….nut that teenager?
And come off worse?
Either man can cement their place in history If Usyk wins then there’s even a big argument for him being the GOAT. I just feel that with Fury’s boxing ability he’ll be too big for Usyk, but only if Fury’s managed to train himself in shape.Come on guys this fight deserves a thread of its own. It shouldn't get lost in the boxing thread.
History will be made in whoever wins the fight will be the first person to hold all four heavyweight belts at the same time.
Usyk - WBA, IBF, WBO
Fury - WBC
Who will win? Both undefeated as well.
Utter scumbag.Unbelievable, the moron should be banned.
