Will Fury hang them up after tomorrow night?

Not without fighting AJ/Usyk 2 winner.

 

Was yet another thread on this subject essential?

I can understand Joe Casual being taken in by the retirement talk, but hardcore boxing fans probably shouldn't be this credulous.

The answer is no, no and a big, fat, categorical no. Even if he pretends to for a while.

 

If anything, I worry that Fury's later career will turn out rather depressing for boxing fans. Imagine Fury fighting on, and on, and on like Holyfield, Toney, Tyson, or Ali -- long past the time when the magic is gone. Every time promising that he's pulled himself together this time, recaptured the magic, etc. Eventually, we'll hear him trash talking with a new slurring to his words.

I hope it doesn't happen. But really, he seems like a guy who will always need money and attention. And his commitment to keeping fit hasn't been high even in his prime.

Fingers crossed he retires on time...preferably after fighting whoever holds the remaining belts.

 

The chances of this being the last fight on Fury's record is in my opinion, less than 10%.

 

I believe the only prior comment I have made on the latest round of Fury retirement talk was this one;

I answered your thread not to register complaint so much as express bewilderment that this topic continues to have legs for multiple threads.

 

Do behave.

 

It's hard to see him not fighting the winner of Usyk/Big Joshie. But it's possible.
It's also possible he doesn't want pressure of mandos and so on and just retires until that fight becomes available.
If that happens it could backfire though, because with the belt floating around, Usyk/Big Joshie might go after a unification for that other belt first and also age Fury or wait for him to get obese/mental etc.
He might be compromised by the time that fight is on the table or even just unwilling to comeback.

 

Oh, wait. You unironically think the number of times I post in your thread in some way undermines my initial comment? Could be I overcredited you. Have a fourth.

 

That someone took the time to declare something worthless (not my exact choice of word, but, whatever) does not automatically confer worth to that something. I'd expect a grown male to know this.

If you hadn't noticed, we haven't really been discussing your thread or its subject for the last two rounds of this exchange. We've been talking about you being silly (unironically so, it appears).
