Usyk wins this if all things are equal. He's a couple of levels above AJ and the scorecards might not even be needed. AJ was badly exposed by Ruiz and his two fights since involved dodging a very overweight and slow footed Ruiz in the rematch and beating an aging Pulev.
By the way, Usyk beats Fury as well, no dangers
I don’t see Usyk beating Fury
Even Usyk has said himself the Fury fight would be difficult for him
I don’t see anyone beating Fury if he’s on top of his game, he can do anything. Fight inside or outside, on the front foot or back foot, southpaw or orthodox. He beat Chisora fighting left handed and made him get stopped on his stool.
Fury has a huge ring IQ and can adapt in the middle of fights much more than any heavyweight today.
The one flaw I see with Usyk, which is also the same with his friend Lomachenko, they have one style and it’s extremely effective until it’s not. That’s why Loma couldn’t adapt to Teofimo Lopez and kept trying the same things over and over when it wasn’t working.
Lopez used a good pivot against Loma and took away the angles . Many fighters today have no real pivot. If you can Keep it long with a jab and know when and how to pivot, you can pretty much take away all the angles that Lomachenko and Usyk use. If I was AJ, I’d hope his team have looked at that. You really have to disrupt their plan A, after that, they’re far more beatable.
Usyk almost lost to Briedis for a similar reason, it was a very close fight and Usyk had no plan B. The Ukrainian amateur system find a style that suits you and drill you on that one style. But over there they have extremely long amateur careers, like 300 fights, so you get really stuck in one style and become so good at it but the problem is that hard to get away from it when it’s not working.
I think Fury at his best is so adept at taking away a fighters best assets that someone like Usyk would struggle and have no answers in the end. Fury can beat you in many ways. He beat the two longest reigning champions in modern times in entirely different fashions.
