    Wilder couldn't KO Fury in 3 fights but both AJ and Usyk will knock Fury out?

    I can't see that happening.

    Which win would be his best if he retires?

    40 year old Wlad or Beyonce Wilder? Good wins, but nothing so impressive that it leads him to be top 10 HW's ever.

    He ducked real competition. This is why he wont be ranked in top 20 HW's especially with his very weak resume

    If that's right it smells like fear from a mile. You can be willing to die in the ring but terrified as **** of failing. Both are not exclusive.

    It's a pity, because I'd favor him over aj and ussyk.

    I doubt this is true, I think he said he was retiring to sell his fight with Whyte, and is now just milking it to make it look more convincing or get more money somewhere down the line. I certainly hope not at least, I want to see him fight Usyk for undisputed and then AJ at some point. I'd prefer Usyk win the undisputed, but I'd be alright with Fury winning as well. Regardless of who wins, I just hope they put up some title defenses before retiring since the mandatories and the potential mandatories lined up seem like they'd make some interesting fights. I think Usyk has explicitly said he wants to reach undisputed and retire, and I don't trust Fury not to do the same thing.

    Then don't fret, because he's going nowhere.


    Nose back to the old grindstone, I see.

    Being able to control the pace of a fight isn't tantamount to not being able to fight at a high pace.

    Just remember that it will be incumbent upon you to bow down when Fury (yet again) does what you say he can't do. After Usyk and Joshua, you have no more lives left to use.

    So has Fury actually vacated the WBC Title? Because if he hasn't and doesn't, then any such talk of retiring is nonsense.

    Thankfully AJ vs Usyk starts a new lineage anyways.

    Fury fights to a game plan and his punch output is set according to that,we all know he can fight at a high pace for the full 12 rounds if needed however Joshua apart from never having a game plan to start with simply can not fight at a high pace for 6 rounds let alone 12 !

    Vitali beats Fury by stoppage or UD. No way the Irish doofus beats Vitali

    Vitali only quit due to injury at 33 and came back to dominate again four years later. Fury ain't doing that. No siree.

    When did Fury beat anyone even close to Fury in terms of talent? I like Vitali and I'm not Fury fan, but this is far from given. Fury's resume is considerably better as well.
