Usyk 'thinking about returning to Cruiserweight'

[Fluffernutter]

Chris Byrd's body fell apart rather quickly after he retired. He blamed it on fighting at Heavyweight even though he had a body (and metabolism) of a lighter man.

I could see Usyk being just as concerned.

The simple fact (to me) is that Usyk has already exceeded expectations in what he has done at HW whereas Fury hasn’t yet lived up to his potential yet

What Byrd said makes sense. A fighter that's not a natural heavyweight has to work even harder to compete against the career heavyweights of the division. It's only that much more demanding when they're fighting up in weight like Usyk is. Modern heavyweights are bigger than they've ever been. Realistically guys like AJ & Fury are full-fledged super heavyweights. In the first Usyk fight, despite AJ coming in at 240 pounds, he actually looked too light. That's pretty crazy.

Wait. What!?

Somewhere in the world a kitten is being choked right now.

we finally get to settle this, with the third match.

maybe after fury KO's him, they can have a 4th fight, to really get a clear picture of who is better.

 

[treelo]

is anyone going to pay for a ticket to see that

 

[WMMA Enjoyer]

Why would Fury take on an actual challenge? Not rhetorical I’m actually asking.

 

[Ghis2]

Fury is going to duck him forever and prefers to fight the Chisora's and Charr's of the world, so why not? He may as well solidify his CW greatness against people who will actually fight him.

Throw Fury and his career and his title in the trash.

That's about where I'm at with him. Him fighting Chisora again for a third time after he's already beaten him twice is just pathetic.

While I'm at it, fuck the WBC for being cool with this trash.

If they had even a shred of integrity they'd refuse to sanction it but we know what time it is over there.
