Usyk coming in almost a stone heavier than he did against AJ. Might be a bit less mobile but potentially be packing a bit more power.
Nah man.... He had big heavy jeans on, big heavy chain.... He's playing games .. Johnny nelson was right on it there... Fury lost his st again.... Usyk still seems like a serial killer.....fury chewing on the gum.... I've seen this st before... And yesterday too .... Not saying it's gonna play a massive part in the result but usyk seems completely unfazed, fury looking wired like a nutter on meow meowI'm thinking fury by stoppage before r10. Likely bodyshot

Smaller, shorter reach, not been in with anyone world class in the HW division. The best version of Fury beats him Question is if this still exists?
Come off it. He beat Aj twice over 12 roundsAJ demolished Ngannou in two rounds whereas Fury laboured to a win on points.

Carlo... you are saying stuff which is too easy to refute... you can't actually believe it, surely?

Joshua may not be as ring savvy, but his fitness is miles ahead of fury. Joshua knows how to drop big shots.. but he couldn’t.
Usyk rode out 24 rounds with Joshua and won.
Usyk is almost like the calzaghe of heavy weights. The pitter, patter, the accumulation of shots gets the opponent.
If the judges are honest, Usyk wins..

It isn't about the best version of either man. It's about the version that fights tomorrow.
Yup, to use an old cliche - it's who turns up on the day.Forest supporter for my sins; we beat Newcastle 3:1 at St James' this season, then an almost identical team struggled for a FT draw against both Bristol City and Blackpool in the FA Cup a couple of weeks later.
Back on topic from my post above:
Usyk is likely the better technical boxer of the two, and both fitter & quicker than Fury.
Given the above, should be a no-brainer to back a Usyk win.
I'm not too sure, think Fury is taking this a lot more seriously than previous fights and if he is on top form, his reach and power could be too much for Usyk.
That said, Fury needs to catch him before that happens!!
Hopefully it will be a good watch.

Fury & Paul have killed my enjoyment of boxing but I have to watch this. One of the few times you get the chance to see a clash of weight classes where there's even a question.
Conventionally I'm thinking Fury will just grapple Usyk & wear him down for a few rounds, but if it goes to points then I can't see anyone beating Usyk at this level of motivation. Fury has to use his weight and just bully the smaller man.. but I remember saying exactly the same thing about Bellew. If anything, I think age is Usyk's biggest enemy- being fking huge doesn't get old, but being a fitness God does.

Not seen much shenanigans in Saudi in terms of judging if this fight was in the Garden anything could happen on that front. Still think they drugged Wilder in #2 and I'm no conspiracy theorist! Plus the 18 count in the first fight.... Hopefully the Saudis let the fights just be the fights and none of the dodgy going on that clearly happen in other places.
Mmmm, “They drugged Wilder”
“18 second count”
Mmmmm, sorry but I think you do sound like a Conspiracy Theorist.
I also go for Tyson Fury, with the body shot.

Clearly you don't. Hence the change in attitude and trainer. Right?
Yes, magically went from totally st to a world class boxing God cos he got a new trainer. Nothing to do with the level of opposition...Let's ignore that AJ looked great in the second Usyk fight, and that he'd won 9 title fights before he fought him
