going to be an interesting fight ,
Usyk is technically close to perfect and a southpaw ,and fury has had issues with them
Fury is no slouch technically himself and a monster of a man size wise,
Interesting how a heavyweight at 6 foot 3 and just over 100 kilos is considered small in modern times
Yeah that’s more or less how big guys like Ali, George Foreman, Ken Norton, Cleveland Williams, Ron Lyle etc were.
in Rumble of the Jungle Ali was 6 '3 and 98 kilos George 6'4 and 104 . usyk was 6'3 and 100 kilos against joshua,
So he is like a throwback in some regards.
I guess its comparable to all other contact type sports , if you looked at the allblacks then compared to now, you would see a similar thing , maybe even more so , some of the forwards are monstors now .
Skill level isn’t as good as it was.
But Fury would have the size and awkwardness to trouble any heavyweight in history I reckon
You get a sprinkling of guys that have been good since those eras , the main difference at heavyweight ( other divisions are still strong ) there isn’t the depth there once was, due to the American scene disappearing .

Fury dropped in round 2 by ngannou,
But starting to take control in the middle rounds , overall a sloppy display by Tyson considering the level of his opponent

According to the stream I’m watching Ngannou is winning and Fury needs to step it up ?

What a kick in the arse it’ll be for boxing if Ngannou does it ? Wow.

Yeah looks like he didn’t take him seriously , it’s a poor display from Tyson

Fuck, interested in reading more about this one.
I mean, I’m a Fury fan but this stream made it sound like he’d fucked it completely.

I watch a lot of boxing ,
What is disturbing is how everyone’s accepts the fighter who generates less money has to be over the top convincing to get the decision, if it’s remotely close the cash cow gets the benefit of the doubt

If fury is this sloppy against usyk he is in trouble,
Usyk throws a high volume of accurate punches , and is very slick with his footwork moving in and out of range using a variety of angles

Prob a good wakeup call from Fury. Infuriatingly clever and stupid, depending on which day he wakes up, I suspect history will have trouble judging his relative greatness.

Excellent post.
He’s huge, awkward, skilful and tough ( that shit song by Chumbawumba springs to mind )
….but he’s also sometimes lazy, out of condition and the argument can be made his resume doesn’t compare to greats of the past ( still I guess he can’t help who they put in front of him ) He also seems to lack power for his size.
Really tough to see where his legacy ends up.

Have I missed posts on Parker actually winning a fight? Admittedly it was against a um not greatly experienced or heralded fighter but Parker did look good and he did show power. I worry he changed coaches way too late in his career.

he has looked ordinary before , and quite often against opponents he is supposed to beat easily,
Otto Wallen fight comes to mind , he was cut so bad he was fortunate it wasnt stopped ,
The usyk fight is massive for both fighters , the winner goes down as a great
