Fury is certainly training like never before for this fight. He wasn't ready last time obviously hence the "cut". The only problem Fury has is that Usyk lives the life and will be training twice as hard. Fury can't train his footwork back from the dead he's going to get picked off over 10/11 rounds and get knocked out. A night of getting peppered by Usyks trademark
one twos and the end of this ridiculous sham is something I'm very much looking forward to!

Fury wins this every time. At evens i'll be putting my money where my mouth is.
Lump it on Usyk by KO, because that's what's happening Fury wins this every time. At evens i'll be putting my money where my mouth is.
Don't think this is anything like a 50/50, let alone Fury heavy favourite as so many seem to be making it
Reminds me of Bud and Spence. It's a great fight between the best 2 in the division for Undisputed, but one is clearly a lot better than the other and I honestly struggle to understand why people make/made Fury/Spence favourite

I just can't see Usyk getting close tbh.
Watching the training videos seems Furys plan is based on keeping the distance and counterpunching when Usyk tries to close in
I get Usyk's record is excellent, he hasn't shown the same drop in performance as Fury (who does now seem to be suffering from more miles on the clock with his legs slowing down) and Usyk is clearly the better boxer and athlete. So, logically, everything points to Usyk winning on points.
But I still think Fury is going to win

This is quite nice; Tyson Fury looking back at some old footage when he was 20 years old.

Has anyone other than Holyfield been successful going cruiser to heavy weight?
Michael Moorer went light heavy to heavy from memory, so did Michael Spinks. Archie Moore fought at heavyweight at the end of his huge career. David Haye was cw champ and heavyweight. You could see the fear in Spinks eyes when he stepped into the ring.
The stand out is Holyfield who was one tough nut and had many great battles. Eventually it took a very classy Lennox Lewis to prevail.
I liked David Haye and always thought he had a punchers chance against any of the bigger heavyweights.

Bob Fitzsimmons went from Middleweight to heavyweight then back down to light heavy!
And let's not forget RJJ who went from a light-middleweight at the Olympics to the Heavyweight title without a single loss - I am discounting the Olympic final debacle and the Montell Griffin DQWhat a legacy he would have had if he just called it a day there.

That would be some legacy had he stepped out after Ruiz!!!What a legacy he would have had if he just called it a day there.
