Usyk is special and can live with the greats. Never thought I would see a cruiserweight do what Evander did against these big super heavyweights. Unlike Holyfield, Oleksandr fights smart and has the discipline to use his skills.
Usyk is a special talent. That is true. But we should not absolve Fury from coming into the fight fatter than a seal. His team thought girth would be able to have him maul Usyk, but all it did was make him a bigger, slower target for Usyk to hit. After about 5 rounds it was clear Fury could not get out of the way fast enough from Usyk's punches. That is why I felt as if Fury would have come down to 255lbs, at least, he would have been more mobile for much of the fight.
