    he was just agitating the bear first half of the fight. letting him burn off some of those berries. before pulling him into elite world.

    This is giving every close round to Usyk.
    2/3/7/12 were close. I think anything from 114-113 to 116-111 is fair.
    Fury did great till Usyk switched it up round 9. Arguably Fury is 5-3 up going into the 9th and won the final round. Which would make the kd the difference.

    This is a third interview i watch with Warren and some of the Fury words on the post fight.

    Warren also said Usyk can just retire and the fight ain't happening. It's Usyk choice.

    They doesn't seems to be very eager to fight AJ at all.

    Fury shouldn't retire. He has unfinished business with Joshua. The fans deserve to know who the 2nd best HW of the era is.

    I don't think Fury has the same confidence anymore. Joshua is brimming with confidence. Unless Fury catches Joshua with something huge, i don't see him winning.

    The post Usyk 2 Joshua would have lost to Fury but this current Joshua would beat the current Fury.

    Tyson was only 5`10, Usyk is 6`3. Tyson only had a 71 inch reach, Usyk has a 78 inch reach.

    Fury vs AJ will worth $50 million for each fighter.

    A rematch with Usyk will get him about $30-$40 million more.

    Can he walk away from that money? Even if he doesn't rematch Usyk, he should fight AJ. The UK wants to see it.

    Knowing Fury he will retire and unretire atleast 5 times.
    I think Usyk should retire. Its downhill from here on out and he accomplished everything.
    I still feel we are owed AJ vs Wilder and AJ vs Fury though. It would be a shame if it never happens.
    I actually prefer AJ vs Fury than Fury vs Usyk 2 now.
    But if Fury vs Usyk 2 does happen then I want AJ vs Wilder if he beats Zhang, otherwise Parker and then AJ vs Fury regardless of the outcome as a final fight.

    Joshua would obliterate Fury right now

    Fury's confidence has gone and his physical decline began when Wilder began ringing his bell and scrambling his central nervous system

    AJ currently hit extremely hard and his punches are coming very, very fast. He is going to rule the division for year or so, before start declining.
    Aj - Fury is still huge, and Fury will take 2x the money he would take for Usyk 2, so that's a no brainer. He deserves that fight to the fans.

    I hold my hands up, I have been one of those who was firmly in the size is the ultimate weapon camp.

    Usyk whilst not a small man himself, definitely made me stop and consider the greatness of what he just achieved

    Fury has taken one 50-50 fight in 6 years since the return (Wilder 1), the rest were smart matchups or forced trilogy.

    Muhahahha no he is not. This was the best Fury we have seen. Usyk is so much on the slide, it's unreal
