I feel AJ vs Usyk 2 was a more interesting fight than Fury Vs Usyk. The only thing lacking for AJ in AJ vs Usyk 2 was cardio and a little more aggression. With the current AJ aggression and a bit more of cardio, my money will be on AJ for a third fight. AJ is more of an intelligent boxer than Fury. He is a more tactical finisher than both Usyk and Fury. Fury is like a human punching bag and can absorb a lot of punches. Usyk on the other hand, can outbox both AJ and Fury, but he is not much of a knockout puncher like Aj, Fury, Wilder or Zang. The old AJ will knock Usyk out in 7 rounds.
AJ lost his killer instinct and aggression after getting caught trying to finish Ruiz in shock defeat to Andy Ruiz and since that fight, he has been careful getting close to opponent. He is just trying to get that spark back in his last 3 fights. It's not easy to comeback after such a powerful blow to the temple. It's like getting knocked out suddenly, it's always difficult to come to the same form (You can ask Usman the Nigerian nightmare).
Fury likes to fight dirty, hold you, hug you, put his weight on you and tries to wear you down mentally and physical during the fight while throwing punches and jab with his long reach. He throws combos too and that is all his style. AJ and Usyk on the other hand throw combs, calculated punches, weave in and out, throw jabs, they are like typical boxing school graduates. Throwing punches and dodging them while switching stanches. The difference is just that Usyk is faster, throws more combos and has better cardio than AJ. AJ on the other hand, is a better heavy puncher and more calculative and has more boxing sense than Usyk. If it is possible to reduce Fury to the height of AJ, Usyk, Whyte and co, you will realize that he will not even be among the 10 heavyweights in the world.
