    Too many good fights for him to retire.

    He wasn’t motivated v Wilder lll, as he knows he has his number, he was not in shape.
    Wilder was at his best, Fury was not.
    I’m sure we will see him at his best again in his next fight or 2 (as long as it’s not against Wilder !)
    When he’s good he is very good. It depends which Fury turns up though.
    Any fight should mean everything, but we all know Tyson Fury has demons etc.

    Staying busy isn’t really a Fury thing though……8 fights in 6 yrs

    Oh dear if Wilder was at his best against Fury in the 3 fight, that has to be quite low best, to have a cardio for like 2 rounds, and to already look exhausted after the very first round in which you thrown like 2-3 right hands, and 10 jabs to the body ....

    Wilder sporadically came to life so he was still dangerous at those moments despite the clear fatigue. Had to be bludgeoned to the floor to end his resistance, although I suspect Fury would have closed sooner in Fight 2 shape.

    He needs to be training all the time because of his mental health concern. What Hopkins Said when he retired intrigued me :" what am I supposed to do? Sit around all day and pull weeds?" Obviously he was bored so he came back as "the alien". His bones were already brittle when Chad Dawson slammed him to the canvas and I'll never forget when he got knocked out of the ring by a younger man (Joe Smith?) I hope Tyson finds the transition easier than Hopkins did.

    I beg to differ Joyce is someone best avoided if you can. He is big awkward , athletic , durable and he has an engine. He is called the juggernaut for a reason.

    It was more of a Fury let him off the hook, and not finish the job's done, and also having a terrible 4 round. Fury was definitely better in the second fight.
    But Wilder whole story so far was this, just land that big right hand.

    Dont know about the cardio being terrible? He was getting punched to the body by Fury on the counters like a MOFO in the first two rds.

    Joyce is slow, the heavyweight that beats Fury is Frank Sanchez (I believe Sanchez is really about 48 years old) but I think Fury will retire before people start seeing how good FS is

    What is this boxing fans advocating to avoid certain fighters?!

    If you are a boxing manager, trainer, or fighter even….maybe. Although it doesn’t bring any glory.

    If fans are saying let’s avoid this fighter then you just gave the promoters a blank check to do just that.

    Tyson vs Joyce bring it!!!

    Don’t know if he is 48 but looks closer to 48 than 28.

    he needs to just shut up and when he finally makes a decision then say it.. the man just loves attention and hearing himself talk.

    He's already the best of his era. Dethroning long reigning undefeated in over a decade three-belt unified king and undisputed #1 Wlad in Germany where everything was against him and dethroning six year long reigning WBC king in his backyard x 3 again where everything was against him solidified that. He only has to beat WBA, IBF, and WBO three-belt king Usyk to stamp the official seal on it and if Usyk beats him he will take that mantle from him.

    To quote the great Deontay ''The Bronze Bomber'' Wilder


    ''I would fight him anywhere," said Wilder. "I'm a traveller, a global fighter, I fight anywhere all over the world that's how you become legendary. You become legendary by not being afraid to go into enemy territory when the time comes or when duty calls.''

    And the great Andre ''SOG'' Ward

    ''Kovalev did it the hard way'' (fighting on the road and defeating his opponent in their backyards)

    Don't forget that AJ was parading around with the one true king Fury's belts after they'd been stolen from him by the gypsy haters in suits. He won Fury's vacant IBF belt against retired dog trainer Charles Martin who in turn won it in a vacant title match up on a freak knee injury from Glazkov who most fans feel had been awarded three gifts from the judges Clenelo style in his six previous fights. Martin isn't fit to lace Fury's son's toy doll's boots

    Then he won his second world title, the WBA strap, when he fought Fury's surrogate son Wlad who hadn't fought in 18 months and was coming off a loss and that was for the vacant WBA strap

    And he won his third one, the WBO, when he fought J-Parker

    Fury had to dethrone the king in his own castle to get his hands on all three of those belts, a king who had made 18 defences of the title in a row in his second reign and who hadn't tasted defeat on the battlefield in over 11 years

    Fury has the best resume in the game when you factor in his wins over his demons who were all elite of the elite level adversaries and undefeated until he harvested their souls and even more impressive he predicted everything he achieved long before it came to pass. His powers of prophecy are almost as impressive as his fighting prowess

    What Fury has achieved hasn't been seen since biblical times

    He's already turned the water into wine and walked on water and he's risen from the dead like Lazarus and simultaneously administered three biblical shellackings and performed three baptisms like his father Big John the Baptist whose nutsack he came out of to the most dangerous puncher the HW division has ever seen or will ever see and he did so on away soil when he was a mere shell of himself and hadn't trained a lick for Baptism I and Baptism III respectively.

    For those of you who don't believe in miracles

    Pay very close attention to this

    How on earth did he get up from that unholy right hand from hell?

    How did he recover so incredibly quickly?

    Why can we not detect a single ounce of fear or nervousness from his body language after being dropped like that?

    Wait, what? Did he just put his hands behind his back and taunt his adversary within seconds of rising from the dead? WTF?!
