    I want to see him fight Whyte and then Joshua, then he can retire.

    No, he needs to lose to Usyk first.

    Don't want Fury to retire but I agree with you on fighting AJ & a few other boxers.

    I honestly don't think he has anything left. Shot reflexes, legs have slowed down, can't get in shape. I don't care what anybody says, you don't come back from taking all those heavy shots like that off a big man.

    If Usyk wins the AJ rematch and then Fury became undisputed.. I think AJ has to be the full stop and cherry on top of his career.

    What else could he do? Who else is there's to beat?

    You raise and interesting point. It may not be that he doesn't want to get in shape, but that he can't.

    Anyway, call me crazy, but I think Haye has been lobbying for a fight for some time, and his recent "comeback" is part of that. I could see there being a Swansong like this, or something.

    You sound dumb as hell. Usyk schools Fury? Man you have much to learn about boxing my low boxing IQ pal.

    I see him staying in boxing for a while to keep him busy. But I think if he can unify all the belts and defend them that could be enough.

    Ideally he'd want Whyte to win against Wallin so he can defend the WBC against him (shouldn't be a big challenge) and then have AJ come back to take the belts from Uysk and fight AJ in Summer 2022 and then maybe winter 2023. Then defend against Uysk so he can say he cleaned out the HW division and retire.

    Yeah the bodies metabolism gets damaged when you yo-yo and crash diet too frequently. I'm sure Fury's putting in the time but the body won't respond. Same thing happened to Ali later in his career. Just couldn't get the weight off. The only guys that stay in shape towards the back end of the career are the 24/7 gymrats like Wlad, Floyd etc

    Fury is the man, he will improve against a real challenge such as Usyk.

    Nah. If he left now without fighting Usyk who will beat Joshua again, then hed be looked down upon. The guy is still young and fighting at a very high level.

    STFU. I think you have Fury and Wilder mixed up. Wilder should call it a career.
