    You would think Fury won the fight, the way you have behaved since

    Do you honestly not think you are going a little overboard now with the spamming?

    Regardless of how we score the fight,the vast majority of people,other than blind idiots scored it for Usyk

    I'm not saying this to be mean. I'm actually being genuine here. But do you want to just fight hours daily with every comment you disagree with? You put people on ignore, then when you get a result you want, unignore them and go on the attack

    Dude seriously, I really don't give a flying f..k who is the best in the world, it doesn't rule my life. Right now I'm dealing with quite severe issues of my own life and that is why I am trying not to be a d..k in this post

    If you are happy contributing to bashing every pro fury post, have at.it, I'm not a mod

    But I think you need to chill just a little. But hey, you do you.

    Anyway in all sincerity, I apologise for any name calling, not my style. I think we should just ignore one another posts

    Take care!!

    It's an interesting one - IIRC Fury camp were trying to tempt Joshua with a fight a few Decembers ago after he'd lost the Usyk rematch, of course the 3rd Wilder fight came along and kiboshed it anyway, but I think back then it was pretty calculated by Fury camp to get Joshua at a low ebb - he's a confidence fighter, and needed to rebuild after the back to back Usyk defeats.

    Fast forward to now, and does anyone really know how Fury is going to cope with this defeat? Coke binges and weight ballooning? Does Tyson really want to go straight back into a fight with a resurgent Joshua high on confidence at a low-ebb?

    What's good for the goose and all that - it's an interesting quandary for the Fury camp:-

    1) Take the Usyk rematch with a strong possibility of second (possibly worse) defeat
    2) Try and make the Joshua fight, with risk that their trajectories coming into it are very different
    3) Look to take another fight to get back to winning ways - but even that could be problematic
    4) Retire for good
    5) Retire, then announce comeback with tuneup mid 2025 with an eye on the Joshua fight, assuming Usyk has retired


    I really doubt Fury would go for 3, he struggles to get up for the smaller occasion, and that makes me think it has to be one of the others, and right now I'd put my money on 5 - he's got previous with the fake retirals

    Honestly, Fury probably gets KO'd by AJ if he doesn't take a break.
    Hearn wouldn't be stupid enough to put AJ in with Fury if AJ had two concussive fights like Fury has had. I mean, he didn't even want to risk AJ after the Usyk losses due to low confidence and spent over a year 'rebuilding' without actually needing to.
    But Fury's team really is that stupid and would probably put him in with AJ next if the Uysk fight fell through.
    Fury is going to get hit in that fight and he needs to be able to take some shots.
    People think he didn't get hit in the Wlad fight but he actually got nailed twice by clean RH's and some other hooks and shots got through.

    True. It's just that they're both running out of time, but a tune up is generally the right move after a loss. And Fury took a pounding in a way he never have before in rds 8 and 9, so going right back in against someone as heavy handed as Joshua probably isn't the brightest idea.

    Just want to see the fight while both still have something left, but it might be difficult to get.

    I don't think it's a controversial opinion. think a rematch is only necessary when there is controversy involved in a fight or it was a really close one. I'd rather see them fight other people instead of rematching people all the time. Usyk could defend the titles vs Hrgovik, Parker, Kabayel...

    Give us Fury vs Joshua. If Joshua wins, let's have Joshua vs Wilder. Have Fury fight Zheng or something. No matter what happens, I hope we never see Usyk vs Joshua 3.

    I'd watch Fury vs Usyk 2 but I don't need it. Fury found success in the middle rounds for about two rounds until Usyk made the necessary adjustment and easily won the fight, almost stopping him.
