Boxing

Funny how a boxer looking like a 19-century prize fighter defeats all these Hercules-lookalikes. Wilders was huffing and puffing after the fifth. Unbelievable really.
I think Fury would struggle against a smaller, fitter, quick ducking heavyweight working his body. That Usyk might pose a challenge.

Nice opening line sir - made me chuckle :)

I think the same. He's big, awkward and can 'box' (i.e. get out of trouble, wrap people up, stay out of range etc). And Wilder didn't fall over on his own.

Somewhere on this thread I saw Fury/Whyte, Josh/Usyk setting up a winner takes all which if it was Fury/Usyk would be great to watch!
 
Annoyingly, the lack of US interest in the three fights above means the WB[whatever] will be swayed into keeping the focus on Canelo, pointless old timer comebacks and Youtubers.

Need Eddie and Frank to get the shows on for major ££m's in the UK.

Usyk would cause anybody problems, he’s got the whole repertoire in his locker.
Fury would have to do a lot of spoiling with his height and weight advantage to try and upset Usyk.
 
I remember a terribly one-side fight with Fury and Chisora and see the same result for Whyte and to a lesser extent (but same result) Usyk. Haye vs that monster {was it Valuev or Nikolayev or something) is another benchmark - albeit Fury and Haye are both upgrades on those guys so who knows!

Would love to see Fury mop up the division personally. Nothing against AJ, just haven't ever really connected to him but wish him the best like.

But I tink I'm like a lot of armchair fans who sort of love an underdog, or seeing a pure boxing talent win the day too. As such, watching Whyte (unlikley) or Usyk (more possible) unify would be incredible!

I think it would also refresh a division where there's been too many lengthy stalemates (AJ vs Wilder, AJ vs Fury) that frankly I think contributed to AJ and Wilder getting stale and then clobbered.
