Fury beat the ever living fuck out of Wilder and he still kept getting back up and fighting. Im not sure how much more he could prove his durability.
ATG masterclass. That fight deserved more recognition.
Who has busted Joyce/Ruiz/Parker up to test that? Ruiz survived some nice punches from AJ, but he was almost finished by Arreola a couple times too.
Agree entirely.
I remember Murat hit Usyk with a mostly flush right hand, and Usyk staggered a little bit. it was one of the earlier rounds. after that, Usyk was like "nah fuck that power im boxing this dude's face off", and then he proceeded to.
Wilder's chin and heart really made me a fan of his again in the third fight (until he got all butthurt at the end and refused to shake Fury's hand and all that). he really did lay it all out on the line and i give him huge props for that. but i think Usyk could potentially stop him late - more out of exhaustion and frustration. i dunno if Usyk could knock him down; the stoppage would probably be Wilder against the ropes taking a ton of shots then the ref steps in. its a slim chance. I think itd be more likely that Usyk would win a wide UD.
I wouldnt write off any HW finishing any HW, just seems like a reach to think Usyk would stop someone that can take that kind of beating (assuming his chin isnt completely shit from it). I kind of have a hard time even picturing Usyk pour it on for a finish. More dangerous game when he could pretty easily box Wilder to pieces.
well, i look to the last round of Usyks first fight with AJ - if Usyk senses someone is hurt, he is definitely able to pour it on. he also did the same with Huck (went back and watched that one recently), just pounded on him until the ref stepped in. thats really the only feasible way I see Usyk getting a stoppage against Wilder, or Fury for that matter. as i said though, him stopping Wilder is very unlikely, and him stopping Fury is EXTREMELY unlikely. Usyk's best path to victory for both would be by decision.
LOL at this horseshit revisionist history. The biggest hypejob in history? AJ was favored handily to beat Usyk the first time around by the oddsmakers. He has the best resume in the division. By your logic Lennox Lewis was also a hypejob since he got smoked by McCall and Rahman. However, he avenged both losses just like AJ avenged his loss to Ruiz. The only difference here is he couldn't avenge his loss to Usyk because Usyk has his number. If we revisit the first fight Usyk was supposed to get killed by AJ. Even in the rematch some were picking AJ by KO. Give credit where credit's due. AJ was competitive with Usyk but it wasn't enough.
I want that to happen just to see the meltdowns of the ppl on this forum.
