You know, there's a genuine argument to have that fairly close.

I mean in absolutely no way has Chisora won it, but Usyk by 2/3 wouldn't be an absurd card.

Thought Usyk by 4 or 5 personally but some close rounds. Usyk all day but a great fight and Chisora made it more entertaining.

Good test for Usyk but he definitely wouldn't beat Fury or AJ. Size difference is just too much.

Yeah it's not like Haye/Valuev where he just boxed around a static monster for 12 rounds, or even Holyfield/Tyson - as Holyfield, let's face it, was on more PEDs than your average Tour de France competitor, and Tyson was a smaller guy who wasn't at his peak.

Joshua hits hard with good technique and is mobile, Fury is just an awkward gangly mess who would keep him at arms length for 12 rounds.

He's one hell of a fighter though. Incredible footwork and timing.

It's a credit to him that he is even considered for these fights given the size difference
 
Personally think Usyk needs a couple more fights at heavyweight before he challenges Joshua and Fury. He should develop more and fight different styles and let his body develop at this weight.
