    That's some BS right there. If Usyk fights Fury for the third time instead of giving chance to Parker or Kabayel it will be a big stain on his legacy. Shieeet, this makes me root for Dubois to win in 2 weeks. I'd much rather watch Dubois vs Fury than seeing Belly getting outboxed and bullied by a gap tooth middleweight again.

    Boxing used to realise that Rematches were only organised if the first fight was close or controversial. A trilogy was only organised if the first two fights were 1-1.

    Usyk has adopted Fury and is now his step father.

    There really is not any value or interest in a 3rd fight.

    How does a step son beat their step father? Just does not happen.

    Fury has given Usyk his toughest fight yet and that is according to Usyk himself. Who is going to give him a tougher one?

    I wouldn't have minded if Parker had got a shot first. It's feel a bit harsh he hasn't.

    So is he just supposed to keep fighting Fury, somebody he decisively already beat twice, until he either retires or totally cleans him out?

    We don't know how tough the fights with Parker or Kabayel will be. I would say the latter may give Usyk a tougher fight. But it doesn't matter anyway. Belly doesn't deserve the shot at the title after losing 2 back to back fights and not beating a Top 10 contender for 4 years.

    The toughest fight of Usyk's career was against Maris Briedis, and definitely the closest on the scorecards.

    Fury did a better job than AJ did but that is about it.

    Not sure how boxing benefits from freezing prospects out of the top man's table and recycling the same fighters over and over again...

    I know Ali fought Frazier and Norton 3 times, but for good cause and he also read out his division in 2 separate decades
    I will hold back on blasting Usyk until this official, but if he fights Fury for a 3rd time? Don't even dare compare him to Ali and Joe Louis. don't even compare him to Wlad, Lewis or Holyfield

    I hope this is BS, but money talks

    Unpopular opinion but assuming Usyk beats Dubois again I wish he would retire. He's getting old and increasingly vulnerable.

    Usyk has an incentive to say Fury is his toughest fight but the reality is that Breidis was his toughest fight.

    I don't think that's an unpopular opinion. People were fine with him retiring after Fury II.

    Don't even compare him to Frazier or Tyson in that case. Or just don't put him in HW Top 10.

    It won't harm his Cruiser legacy, but beating the same 3 guys over and over when there are other challengers is not GOAT worthy.
    Usyk is an amazing talent and a great warrior, let's get that straight. Because some on here think I a hate him and don't rate him, that is NOT the case. i just don't overrate him or give him a pass if he goes on to fight the same guys

    Fight hasn't been made yet, but if it does? I won't watch out of principle. Fury does NOT deserve another go

    If this happens, this is a disgrace.

    Fury needs to beat Kabayel or Parker to earn a shot.
