Fury will start much more aggressive and load up more on punches. Won't let Usyk walk him down as much early. Will try to rough him up/lean on him and sap his energy for the 2nd half of the fight.

I expect he will have some early success. However, in later rounds he'll start fading and I expect Usyk to switch into another gear and take over the fight.

Usyk wins by decision or late TKO/KO.

Usyk should retire right now.

There is absolutely nothing more to prove, for me goes down as the greatest of all time and no I'm not joking, he destroyed the Cruiser weight division then came up to HW and destroyed the best the division had to offer including a HW in Fury who was being touted as being up there with Lennox and Ali so what does that tell us..........?

Undefeated.
Unified the Cruiser weight division including winning the CW Tournament eliminator including defeating Murrat Gassiev and later Tony Bellew.
Defeated all HW's from gate keepers like Chisora to all current and previous champions such as Dubois, AJ and Fury twice each.
Unified the HW division.
Not a heavy puncher so has achieved all of this on pure skill which to some makes it hard for them to accept but for those who have boxed before, that actually elevates him even higher as he doesn't have a heavy punch as a get out of jail free card.

..........name me a fighter in the heavier divisions with any of these types of achievements?

The only fighters I see giving him trouble are a prime Mike Tyson for the first 6 rounds, Riddick Bowe a HW chamion who is criminally underrated with a 43-1 record and Lennox Lewis.

Yes, Usyk has cemented his legacy and is one of the GOATs now. I do think he should retire though, he looks to me like he lost a step or two, but his opponent lost a few more so he could get away with it. Looked like two aging fighters to me.

If he rematches Dubois I'm not confident in an Usyk win at all. 50/50 at best.

You must be tripping bro !!! Yes he cleaned up the Cruiserweights but so what ?!! Beating this bunch of heavyweights is meh, Joshua, Fury and Dubois, leave off ! You can call him a great, possibly, but to suggest he can even be considered a GOAT is too much, its getting out of hand now.
