i don't think i'll ever forget watching usyk that night. fury whether people want to admit it or not is an amazing fighter with his toughness, chin, boxing skill, size and power, and he was in good form that night he came in great shape was switched on. but even when fury was boxing well and landing huge shots usyk just didn't care, he's too damn good and i don't think anyone could have stopped him on that night he was otherworldly. being skilled enough to make a competitive fight of it was insane enough with the size difference, but when he was badly hurt and losing deep into the fight he still had it in him to start f*cking mauling fury and put him down, and when we were all getting nervous that he needed to win every round he did it in style. he's the best pfp fighter of our generation and he's an all time great heavyweight who could compete with anyone in history

I'm less convinced. I actually thought fury was going to stop him in the 5/6th when the body blows he was raining on Usyk were taking their toll, there were two times Usyk had to dance away and disengage because he was badly hurt - he started complaining about low blows but they were perfectly fine. Fury got tired / lazy, I'm curious how the rematch will go. I look at the current crop of heavyweights and I think they are weak. Wilder was shown up, Fury struggled against an MMA fighter, AJ looks and fights like Frank Bruno. I don't see Usyk as an all-time heavyweight great. He lacks power at heavyweight. He's got great stamina, a good chin and he can dance but at heavyweight he lacks knockout power.. I'm with Toney, against the 90s heavyweights Usyk would struggle, Tyson, Lewis and Evan Fields, they'd all beat him.

@@cjsky5822 i get where you're coming from, but i really don't agree at all that fury was as bad as people claim. he looked awful against ngannou, and was sloppy against chisora, white and wilder (in the 3rd fight), but in the usyk fight he was in seriously good shape and to my eye fought very well. fury wasn't lazy, if he was tired that was from going all out trying to outwork usyk, and he's already proven that he can hit hard, box well and take shots from anyone. usyk took fury's biggest hits, persevered through a lot of rough bodywork, outboxed an expert boxer despite having a massive height/reach disadvantage, and cracked the chin of a 6'9 270lb monster who'd previously eaten hits from one of the hardest hitters of all time. usyk is extremely skilled, his stamina, chin and determination are otherworldly, and he hits hard enough to hurt anyone. if you add that onto being the second man to be undisputed in both cruiser and heavy, and go through all the world class talent he beat to achieve that, then i find it hard to rank him anywhere below the top 20 (i've got him 11th)

@@aldrichunfaithful3589 Fury did not look great, he still looks soft and flabby. The best I've seen him was vs Klitschko and the 2nd Wilder fight - times where we he was truly motivated. By the 3rd Wilder fight he was fat again and he's not looked great since. Fury hits hard but only due to his size/weight, he's not a monster hitter. Usyk will win by points in most heavyweight fights, they've all got poor gas tanks but he's not getting KOs at heavyweight... Dubious quit (after a legit bodyshot that took Usyk out). AJ twice tried to ignore all his physical advantages and try and outbox him and Del Boy was past it but still gave Usyk a tough time. Fury & Wilder fought too many tomato cans. AJ has a respectable career but I still don't think he would have done any better than Bruno in the 90s and I think Usyk is about that level - best of the rest.

I'll never stop wishing Wilder actually took the technique aspect of the sport seriously. With his size, speed, athleticism, chin, stamina, and right hand - against a southpaw - he really could've been a good match for Usyk if he'd spent the last 10+ years developing his technique. What's crazy is the few times we've seen Wilder's jab it's really sharp and snappy ... and yet he never uses it...
@TheModernMartialArtist6 ай бұрын
I pretty much agree. Wilder used his jab to pull down opponents guard very well, I think it's actually the setup for most of his knockdowns. But besides that he had very few ways to set up his right hand. When he did try and get some new skills he improved a lot, but I think it was too little too late. His body work against Fury in their third fight was doing something and could have set up a head shot later, but he got caught and went back to what he knew.
@pascalscherr52066 ай бұрын
@@TheModernMartialArtistTo be honest I think Wilder will go down as a warning to future fighters about relying on just one aspect too much. Imagine that insane, lethal power behind a good jab, proper footwork, feints, a varied arsenal etc. I mean we'd be talking about possibly the greatest ever if a guy with Wilders power could box like Lennox or Wlad or Holmes or whoever. Look at that Luis Ortiz fight - he DID land the crazy right hand, but it took him 7 rounds of being off balance and out of position. Imagine if he could box like a champion as well as punch, there just would've been no stopping him. Anyway - the future Cus is going to show his future Mike Wilder's career as a lesson I think. That's what Wilder will be to the future of boxing, kind of a cautionary tale of hubris
@aldrichunfaithful35896 ай бұрын
i've always thought that wilder had possibly the most potential out of any heavyweight in history. he could've been the heavyweight reincarnation of tommy hearns if he bothered learning how to box, his hand and foot speed are both excellent, he's tough with a good engine, and obviously he's up there with shavers as one of the hardest hitters of all time. his frame would basically have made him the perfect outboxer
@timurjack87736 ай бұрын
People have different strengths in many different muscle groups on their body, every person is different, for example if a very athletic basketball player starts doing a different sport that requires different muscle groups that basketball player could start to getting injured more than usual, because they develop different muscle groups from young age, I am guessing that Wilder's muscle groups are designed for that 1 punch KO in specific angles, If he does different trainings or trained differently from younger age, I think he wouldn't have that special 1 punch KO power, Wilder relies on speed and athletism while setting up his movement in specific positions, maybe he couldn't be a high level boxer and lose his 1 punch KO ability as well if he was training foot work and head movement from young age, who knows what would happen. There are many factors so its not simple.

Great breadown, as always. Another thing: Usyk's predatory style, the constant moving forward and stalking had Fury backing up a lot. When Fury was landing his uppercut, a lot of those scored while he was backing up, so they didn't have full force behind them. As the fight went on, Usyk dictated that pace - a real testament to his stamina.

Good breakdown of Usyk's favorite tactics. However, his greatest achievement in the Fury fight imo was finding positions that took the sting out of Fury's uppercuts. Rounds 7 to 12 Fury had to bizarrely twist his body to land the uppercuts he won rounds 4 and 5 (and maybe 6) with. As a consequence, there wasn't enough force behind his uppercuts to rattle Usyk in the later rounds. Must be incredibly difficult to make adjustments like this in the middle of a tough fight. But somehow Usyk pulls it off time and again.

One aspect of Usyk's gameplan I hoped you'd bring up is how he saves energy without giving the opponent space to rest themselves. Tiring out your opponent to get better positioning and angles later on is an established strategy, but knowing how to do it safely and without spending too much energy yourself is a talent that has been lost as fights now require you to fight less rounds.

People say that cruiserweights have been unsuccessful at heavyweight because they are just too small, but I honestly think it's just that the Klitschkos were too dominant. Haye vs Ruiz/Valuev, Roy Jones Junior vs Ruiz, James Toney vs Ruiz/Holyfield/Gunn, Adamek vs Golata/Chambers/Arreola, Cunningham vs Fury, Marco Huck vs Povetkin all of these either beat top heavyweights or had a case for deserving the nod.

@@TheModernMartialArtist I think two big factors were also one there not being a clear lineage at first due to Lewis retirement, but also the era being considered weaker in large part because the US stopped being the focus. There is a pretty big pro-US bias in boxing institutions and even with people like Inoue some people criticise him for not fighting in the US. It's just curious to see a lot of the reasoning used to criticise the Klitschko era not applying to current times, like ex-champs like Briggs or Rahman were dismissed because they were too old (in mid-30s, younger than Wilder, Usyk, Joyce, Zhang...), cruiserweights were considered easy pickings, dominant victories over undefeated champions in Ibragimof and Chagaev were dismissed because of "who did they fight." and so forth. Like nobody would say that Fury could easily win for a decade by fighting weak opposition like cruiserweights, ex-champs in their thirties or undefeated champions with few fights, when those are the best fights on his resume and he struggled greatly, fighting weaker opposition when possible.

There is one other HUGE factor. At a certain point, every attribute begins to experience the phenomenon of DIMINISHING RETURNS. Usyk is the size of ALI almost to an eerie extent. They even may share a bday iirc. Having excess on you in a match against someone who is NOT mentally checked out because of the EXPECTATION that having once been a CW and having going up from CW to HW has disadvantaged them unfairly is a relatively new phenomenon since the advent of the CW division. Michael Spinks. RJJ. Toney moved up to CW of course and then HW but he was a 160lb champ. RJJ began at 154. Plodding HWs are a cyclical thing we've seen before, just not to this irrationally large degree. Mairis Briedis probably hits just as hard as most any HW short of the top five hitter in the division. Let's keep it a buck. He comes into the ring at 220 and is breaking jaws. Sparking out Charr in more brutal fashion than Povetkin. The arbitrariness of weight class and the lack of understanding of what DIMINISHING RETURNS mean is almost swept aside. If anyone is telling me Ali could not compete today, go look at his dimension... and look at Usyk's... the answer is obvious. YES, and it would not matter how big the opp was but is about STYLE and athletic ability 0:30

Ever since he grew the mustache I've called him Freddie. Every one a gangster until Mercury Tyson's you in the ear. The whole side of your head be gone.

He's easily the best boxing HW of all time. would have loved to see him against Lennox during his prime.

AJ vs Fury would be wild as a next fight. AJ wins that one, either by KO or narrowly on points. Probably the latter.

Pan Usyk is a very nice and fanny man, has his own unique sense of humor and beautiful personality. Pan Usyk juggles to create his own mastery in coordination of mind and hands. Pan Usyk design his own programs: to improve his brain, brain clarity, clarity of thinking. Pan Usyk is my favorite sportsman of our time and my favorite boxing champion of all times!

Tyson vs Joshua makes more sense for Fury than a tough rematch with Usyk
@Jimmy_Cream6 ай бұрын
As if Joshua isn't a tough fight. He already avoided it because he knows Joshua hurts him

I just want a 4 Kings type era where everyone fights everyone! Wilder vs Usyk would be really fun too! Or Wilder vs AJ is more likely though.

@@TheModernMartialArtist What about Parker? He made Wilder look like an amateur and he "exposed" Zhang's lack of output. I think Parker vs Usyk would be more interesting.

I've been seriously considering it! If I have the time I mean, he definitely deserves a breakdown!

I think durability peaks at a certain weight class and just stays about the same for every weight class after that. Power is the thing that stays consistent with more weight.

Usyk reminds me of Wolverine from the X-Men. Tough skilled and undersized. Still slaying giants.

Finally a heavyweight with real skill, that’s in shape, and has a chin.

I want to see the rematch ASAP. Fury will have to adjust to the consistently troublesome outside lead-foot outside positioning south paw go-to that Tyson should have anticipated.

Well done to the man..he controled the fight allmost bell to bell, it looked almost like fury did not want to be there, even took the fight way to lightly

@goldbullet506 ай бұрын
No way. Without the massive knockout, the match would've been very even. Now it took a round or two for Fury to recover... Both were constantly changing their tactics, and both had their moments.

what are you TALKING ABOUT LMFAO it was extremely close and at the end of the fight Usyk was the most battered of the 2 as well!
