Wise man, spot on about Usyk winning by split decision.
Great conversation. A proper legend.
Usyk will win! Usyk is a guy that's dedicated to the boxing and stayed away from alcohol and drugs. Stamina is what will get him the win . All the crap Fury has put his body through over the years will catch up to him on Saturday night.

I don't think it's just about fitness, I would say Usyk is the better technical fighter with a solid amateur background. Fury hasn't fought anyone of his calibre, apart from Steve Cunningham and a very close fight with Klitschko. Fury wins most of his fights through mind games, using his height and reach to his advantage. He may do a Bernard Hopkins and draw Usyk into a boring dull fight of holding, jabbing and grabbing, and doing enough to steal the rounds.

It's hard to hype a Fury-Usyk match after mentioning an Ali-Frazier clash... A couple of very good boxers against two true legends.
I think thesame too thst hus time is coming to an end...His fight with the cameroonian proved that...and we saw the fight last night, and he was almost weak both in his punches and in his strenght
He reminds me of that character from Little Britain that eats his sisters meal on wheels dinners 😂
5:24 - Wilder didn't do anything to Fury in the 2nd fight. Totally one-sided. And even in the 1st fight there weren't much punches landed by Wilder. The knockdown in the final round was really the sole meaningful punch by Wilder. I think it's Fury's awful work ethic and neglect of his body that is catching up.
The old adage, 'A good big one will always beat a good little one' is no longer true. There have been several instances over the years where smaller men have beaten bigger opponents. Usyk demonstrated that against Joshua(twice) and last week against Fury. Mike Tyson also beat much bigger opponents. So too did Joe Frazier.
I agree. I think Fury will get knocked out in the rematch. His only chance is if he keeps his hands up a lot more and improves his accuracy.

If I’m not mistaken Colin also said AJ was a busted flush.
Fury is on the decline because of his lack of discipline in keeping in shape. Usyk is very disciplined in between fights. No yo-yo dieting from Usyk and he's someone who can start training camp preparing for the fight, rather than starting camp trying to lose the excess weight and then focusing on getting in fighting shape.
Coco Hart, hard done by you
Mr hart was spot on with his prediction regarding the Fury vs Usyk fight!!

If Usyk’s had such an easy ride it’s because he’s so much better than his opponent.
To have a fight in Vegas is allow the corrupted judges from that city destroy careers of boxers…
Colin Hart can knock out 100 cigarettes in 12 rounds...
Fury is a guy who hasn't taken much damage throughout his career. He fights just above his level of opposition. Wilder was coming to take his head off, and he was very capable. Fury gave him the beating of a lifetime because it was kill or be killed. He will rise to the occasion against Usyk. He's a gamer and he shines when he's not fighting guys he's expected to destroy. Just watch. Usyk is damn good, but he's going to have a bad night Saturday. Fury is the best of a generation. Ask guys that have sparred or boxed both of them. They all say the same thing. Fury is the best they've ever been in a ring with.

@peterleslie9418 I think he was boxing Usyk up. I wasn't scoring it but I remember thinking Fury was running away with it because Usyk couldn't really do anything. If not for the knockdown in the ninth, Fury wins a split decision on the cards. How some of them had Usyk winning anything between rounds 2-7 is beyond me. You Fury haters can gloat all you want. It wasn't domination by any means. Fury got lazy because he was winning so easily and got caught. Up until then, Usyk couldn't do much.
Poor excuse for an expert. I saw the fight and Fury had all his prowess and moves . Sometimes you just meet your match!

What was he a few years ago? He is no different.
I have the same impression. I think he has lost the heart to fight. He's not a fighter anymore. Instead he's a performer. There's a big difference.
The well-known reporter Colin Hart has this all wrong. While Colin makes many interesting observations on fights he’s seen over the years, his assessment of Tyson Fury as having become the best HW boxer around in this era cannot be based on Fury’s record, nor on the straightforward observable facts. To begin with, Fury jabbed and ran for a sufficient number of rounds to scrape a points decision when he fought the forty-year-old Klitschko; but Fury ducked the contracted re-match knowing that by then Klitschko had him figured out and would slaughter Fury in the return. Then, Shelley Finkel miscalculated when he matched his fighter Wilder, a one-trick pony with no knowledge of even the rudiments of Boxing, with the then profoundly out-of-shape Fury. Check out Wilder’s record: he’d only fought inexperienced hopefuls, numerous nobodies and men looking for a quick payday whose record shows that they’d been already been KOed multiple times. Finkel’s miscalculation was simply that he overrated Wilder as capable of taking on the Fairground ducker because Fury had been inactive for three years. Even so, Fury had the greatest difficulty in dispatching the stationary target Wilder who still managed to deck him four times in their three fights! Since then, Fury has consistently ducked (i.e., avoided fighting) the best heavyweights in the division, to take on journeymen instead the likes of Otto Wallin, who nevertheless found Fury easy to cope with, cut him up, and gave him a hard fight. Yet compare that with how Joshua dealt with Wallin in five rounds! Fury ducked Anthony Joshua for three years despite Eddie Hearn’s best efforts to match them up, and he was visibly relieved to see Joshua lose to Usyk as Fury now uses that as a pretext not to take a fight with AJ. Nonetheless, Joshua has always had the beating of Fury - and Fury knows it! Fury was floored and only managed to scrape a much-disputed points win against a literally complete boxing novice Francis Ngannou in Francis’s first Boxing match, and Fury dismally went for easy paydays with willing second raters the likes of Chisora and Whyte -- three times each! So, Colin, and my fellow boxing enthusiasts, think very hard before you put your hard-earned cash on Fury this Saturday!
The only reason fury has made it this far is because of his size, if it were not for that he beats nobody. FACT
