While i agree that he should not be judged if he loses in the next couple of years, no one is forcing him to fight. He has generational wealth. He has more than enough to retire on. Many people have advised him to retire and he has rejected this advice. If he goes on and on, it will be hard to blame anyone else.

Personally, i think he is an ATG even if he never wins another fight. But we can't blame anyone else if he refuses to hang it up.

I wouldn't mind losing a fight which I'm paid $100M. So wouldn't Usyk, and that's why he keeps fighting.

Now that that's settled ... bring on the judges who will screw everything up.

Parker-Wardley draw incoming.

I'm not saying anyone but he is to blame I just think it's a bad idea. He believes he still has what it takes to remain undefeated or keep winning which is the same old story with a million other fighters and many of them were much or younger than he is now when they made that mistake or their styles were not ones whose success relied on speed, reflexes, reaction times, agility and their legs. He's campaigning in a division full of much or way bigger men many of whom can punch holes in castle walls and everyone he will be fighting will be younger or much younger than him and likely in their backyards or on the road.

Father Time's record vs HWs in their mid to late 30s and 40s in world title fights is exceptional and unparalleled but what is it like vs ones who are routinely giving away the kind of physical advantages Usyk is fighting much bigger and younger natural HWs and savage or huge punchers in their backyards or on the road?

How many greats in their late 30s/40s were routinely fighting in their opponent's backyards or on the road, let alone vs much or way bigger and younger massive or big punchers?

He says boxing is like an addiction but he has achieved everything there is to achieve and has clocked boxing amateur and pro and he's earned more money than he could ever spend.

He is but like I said if he takes a loss it will be held against him more than any fighter in history even though he's already the oldest undisputed HW champion ever, the 2nd oldest unified HW one, and soon to be the 4th oldest HW champ ever and the 3 above him were all 240-250+ giants with extremely high KO% and one of them retired for a decade and all of them were regularly fighting soft or very soft touches in between facing the top guys.

And we had 2 kings not 1 throughout the reigns of 2 of them

So many are so desperate to see him lose and, like I said, the fact they feel that way about a fighter as honourable, fearless, respectful, humble, and classy as him who has given them zero ammunition to feel that way and who literally embodies everything right, great and noble about the sport and has routinely sought out the best on a deck stacked against him or at worst on an even one and has never ducked anyone, certain styles or punchers speaks volumes about them as fans and just human beings in general

Some very valid points and ones that Roy jones should have noted but didn’t take any notice because he was also addicted to Boxing,at this stage in time after all Usyk has achieved from Boxing it would be an absolute travesty for Usyk to pick up a loss now . We all also know the huge sums of money involved are not easy to walk away from either.

Oh I don't think this one is going the distance. So let's hope not!

Yes, walk away while you're at the top, especially when you have achieved everything there is to achieve, have earned more money than you could ever spend, and are in your late 30s and a year and a bit away from turning 40
