    A lot of people are calling for AJ to retire, but I think there's a reason why Fury is ducking all these big fights. He knows he's past his best, he's 35 this year. He saw how many times Wilder dropped him, those 3 fights took a lot out of him. Fury is not going to fight Usyk or AJ so what's the point continuing other than fighting Chisora 4 or McDermott 3

    I doubt think he's that far past his best, honestly. He obviously won't lose his height and weight, and 'jab and grab' is a very durable style.

    I'm fairly sure he wouldn't be able to convincingly replicate the herky jerky/evasive style he used against Wlad, or even in Wilder I, but I don't think he'd even try to.

    After Fury has beaten Usyk he will dissappear for 6 years and at 40 years old make a comeback to the joy of billions of people

    Why? He is undefeated and the world Heavyweight champion.....and relatively young for boxing. Relatively cause a few years ago, 30 was considered old for this sport...

    Yes. He's too scared to fight the only guy with a chance of beating him so he should do the honourable thing and retire.

    No shame in being the second best of your generation.

    Can’t see him retiring whilst the AJ fight is a possibility. Some decent cash for him and a fight he fancies himself in. I truly think he will walk away then for good. Despite his floors, he is very knowledgeable in relation to boxing. I think he knows he would struggle with Usyk and would prefer to face AJ. He can then walk away and say he fought both Wilder and AJ, arguably two of the best of his era. Whatever he does, his legacy is tarnished by not taking the Usyk fight. Even if he fights AJ and beats him, his legacy is still damaged imo

    He robbed Usyk of the WBC belt. At the very least, he should be willing to give it to him as an apology before retiring.

    Yes he should. Leave the fighting to real men like Usyk, Joshua and Joyce.

    If he doesn't plan to face Usyk, Joyce, Joshua or Ruiz in his next fight, quit.

    No, he should fight Usyk like he said he would.

    Since he is scared of Usyk he should at the very least vacate his belt. Let a man fight for it with honor.

    Yes, as Fury stated after the Wilder trilogy, he is not the same. Wilder took the fight out of him. Fury took Wilders 0, but Wilder took Fury's heart. The real winner is Wilder after all. LOL

    If he's not fighting Usyk or AJ, then yes.

    Aww, look at you. Your game has declined even more than Fury’s popularity. Not only Usyk destroyed Fury and whatever legacy he had without even putting a glove on him, he also beat the interesting troll out of you and now you are just inconsequentially average. But hey, you had a good run. I’d say you were a more entertaining troll than Fury was a good fighter. In your world, that must be quite the compliment, and I mean it.
