    Immediately after the fight, did Fury give Usyk credit in the midst of TYSON’s own defeat? Wow. Talk about being divorced from context. Correct, he did lose but I am feeling that it wasn’t actually “okay” for some - which is more the point. :D

    I dont really understand why boxing fan would want boxer not fight anyone and rather trying to protect guy legacy. Going back down to low money low view division would be foolish

    Thing is guy, you didn't read what I said. I don't want to protect anything (not that I could...I have nothing to do with it). I think there are better fights to be made at cruiser in light of the fact that Usyk has already cleaned out three of the top four at heavy.

    I don't want to see him endlessly fighting Fury II, Dubois II, Joshua III.

    I would much rather see Opetaia, Zurdo, winner of Bivol-Beterbiev...at least they are different.

    Now, if they can get Uysk in there with Parker, yeah, let's see it.

    As for money, you are absolutely right. But he has indicated that his body health is more important to him than the money.

    We will see.

    It doesn't matter how many meaningless words you throw together it won't change Usyk's mind.

    Fury was his toughest fight. He said so himself.

    You really wrote all that just cos Usyk said Fury was a tough fight and gave him a bit of credit? It really triggered you that much? I didn't read it either.

    Okay, you’ve got nothing - which you’ve concretely proven over multiple, pointless replies - including a lack of any convergence and answers to simple questions.

    Careful not to stick your neck out any further - not that it hasn’t already been chopped off.

    Btw, you said Usyk cited Fury as his toughest opponent. I believe he simply said yes to the question of it being his toughest fight.

    If you’re going to quote his “opinion”…at least get it right without letting your obvious bias intrude and reword him at your own convenience and whim.

    Like I said, enjoy your thread if it somehow placates you - you clearly need it. Talk about trying to scrape for positives on Fury’s behalf. Lol.

    So a fair and logical refutations/points reads as being triggered to you? Nice primary school retort. Lol.

    What’s next, an accusation of being a “hater”? You’ve made major contributions to the thread. Not.

    Oh, but you didn’t even read it, did you?

    More than a few sentences and you’re gone, right? Gnat like attention span - especially if it dismantles the argument you’ve jumped on to.

    IF you didn’t read it, you shouldn’t have bothered replying. Simples.

    I guess that simple logic escapes you also. But of course, you just needed to turtle head it and then quickly retract back into your shell. Great stuff.

    Enjoy hugging your little tree ever so tightly despite the forest.

    :lol::lol::lol:

    There are some here who think the more words you write the better your argument. If only they knew it just made it less likely anyone would actually read them.

    Ok.

    But anyway what a let down of a career finnish it would be to retreat and fight less known people instead of big match up.

    Why...when he has already beaten the fighters that he will have to fight at heavy?

    I simply fail to see the logic.

    When he beats Fury for the second time, he will be forced to fight the winner of Joshua Dubois to protect/reclaim the IBF belt. I would much, much, much rather see Beterbiev or Opetaia than Joshua III or Dubois II.

    Exactly. Why run away from a contracted rematch with your toughest opponent? Usyk is made of sterner stuff than that.

    I believe Usyk spoke his mind. Not only did he show respect to his opponent.
    In any case, I think that Usyk should be asked a direct question about which fight was more difficult for him; Fury or Briedls.

    You must have missed the part where I said "after he beats Fury again," which is what Usyk is talking about.

    The guy that had to be saved in the 9th by a crooked ref?

    I have seen Uysk opponents who did not have to be saved by crooked refs.

    Just saying. Based on what actually happened, it could be argued that Fury was objectively not his toughest opponent.

    It wasn't Usyk though, was it? We are talking about Usyk.
