Message: [QUOTE="JAXCUSE, post: 4248476, member: 516"] There isn’t anyone else (right now), other than Usyk-Joshua rematch winner…. Which I’d like to see, although would favor Fury over either. Me thinks Joshua (could be) more of a “stylistic” problem for Tyson (longer and bigger, even if he’s very chinny). Styles make fights. Think Usyk probably stops Joshua in the rematch, so probably academic anyway…. Sloppy fight with a highlight finish. Before the KO, most entertaining part of the fight was the ring entrance at Wembley.…Thought Fury would dominate (if he was motivated). Whyte just not in the class. Not a big fan of Dillian- pretty average world-class journeyman (as are most of the contenders right now, except the Big 4). Strong with power in the LH, but not much else. Really vulnerable to the uppercut (KO’d three times by same punch) for the reasons you/Bradley identified. Surprised he never corrected/compensated for it during a pretty long career. Nothing more than a measuring stick for the young guys at this stage. Got two cracks at the title, should call it a career…. Fury is just a freak. Not much to look at, but just so big, athletic/coordinated and skilled. I’m amazed at his conditioning and pace considering size and (excess) weight. And quite the personality (dare say almost late-career ”Ali-like” charisma). Never seen anything quite like him in the sport. Has morphed stylistically - not as much a back-footer anymore, but presses his opponent (more) and uses physicality and work rate to beat them down. Credit his training team (Hill and Andy Lee) - helped him set down more on punches and made his approach more ”aggressive/fan friendly” over the past couple of years. Despite ”retirement talk,” I don’t think this is the last time we see him in the ring. I agree - If I was a betting man, me thinks Arum talks him back into the squared circle for Usyk early next year. I’m more intrigued with next week’s main event - Valdez/Stevenson. IMO, Valdez is live - first real competitive threat Shakur has faced as a pro. Could be a preview for how he stacks up to the young crop of top 135 lbers. [/QUOTE]
