Usyk would wipe the floor with Fury. He's going to be a monster.

Usyk already is a monster.

As for Fury, It will certainly be a closer fight that tonight - be worth watching that’s for sure.

An elite boxer against a guy who thinks he's Ali incarnate.
The only thing stopping Usyk, will be Furys size. At 6'9", only spoiling & leaning all over the top of Usyk, for 12 rounds, will stop him. He won't outbox him.

Joshua still sparks Fury, tbh.

Can't see that at all. Even without the recency bias of that doing Fury would probably stop Joshua if he wanted to. Would hit him all night.

That fight there is pretty much how Fury v Joshua goes.

I’m not sure if you’re at it or not, but you can add this to list of things that will never happen in a boxing ring.

Quality fight.  According to the wife Joshua would've if he'd only hit Usyk with an undercut.

Interesting to read BBC news earlier when every "expert" predicted a win for Joshua.

Eh - naw.

Usyk vs Wilder would be an interesting fight.

Joshua vs Wilder is a 3 rounder.

Usyk vs Fury is a cagey shitfest.

[the aggressive beggar]

I would fucking love to see Fury vs Usyk

[Fraser Fyvie]

Wilder v Usyk would be interesting. At least Wilder has the equaliser and can actually set traps to land it. I don’t see what AJ can do any differently in the rematch if he takes it, which would be a terrible move.

Phil's on the money. I think Fury would turn it into a 12 round WWE match.

Fury v AJ was the be all and end all before tonight.

That's probably changed now.

Did you just watch Joshua against a smaller version of Fury? Joshua got convincingly out pointed by a mobile boxer that was in his second fight at HW. As others have said, Joshua Fury would be a very similar fight to tonight.

Had it 8-4 with the last round a 10-8. Could have legitimately been stopped I reckon. 

Great fight to round off a ropey night, the kid in with Smith utterly overmatached and a horrible KO and that Hatton robbery was shite too.

Incredible performance from big Usyk though, would genuinely love to see a Fury fight. As @J_Stewart says, he is the only man that can beat him. It would also be a cracking build up.

[Comrie]

Why are people thinking Usyk can beat Fury? Usyk is a cracking boxer but Fury is a freak. A long limbed 6'10 who boxes like he's six foot. Usyk just eats jabs for twelve rounds.

 

Usyk vs Wilder, though. I'm interested in that.

[kiddy]

As I mentioned a few days ago. That's the first time Joshua's come up against an elite boxer. The HW division is stacked full of fighters, but no boxers, & he came up short in a boxing match against a master.

[IrishBhoy]

Fury might look at that fight tonight and want to get in with AJ as soon as he can. It’s still the highest paying fight that can be made regardless of belts, and Usyks basically gave Fury the blueprint on how to get the win.
