    In my 20's I would recover from a hard weekend of flag football by Monday morning. In my 30's, it was Wednesday morning. Now....I'd never recover.

    I'm 35, living a healthy, sports life through my whole life, so yeah i understand you perfectly. The first thing that hits me the most after i hit early 30s. was the recovery, and how much slower and longer i need to recover. And i just couldn't do the volume I was used to before.
    Foot speed is clearly the next thing that goes away, and mainly your explosiveness.

    And the saying for he HW is because they are big, and their size and power can carry them. But Usyk doesn't rely on any of this, and he is giving huge advantages to his opponents in every single fight.

    Power is the last to go, and SIZE is literally for life, so guys like Fury, Klitschko, even Wilder can do very well after 35+ and before the big crush hit.

    Usyk doesn't have anything to carry him, and most of his fights are all exhausting 12 rounders, and he goes through hell in camps.
    He should have been retired already.
    The decline in his skills and workrate is huge right now, and will get worst and worst, and at this age it will be fast declining.
    And i don't see the reason for him specifically to stay. He doesn't have anything to prove anymore, and all to lose. It's just a stupid move, stupid ego or whatever it is.

    Just looking at the stats, throwing 713+ punches against AJ, to throwing a bit more than 400 against Fury, and in the same time he moves a lot less, and his constantly lateral movement and his upper body movement is essentially gone. He just cannot sustain it.
    What's the f**** point?

    Good luck getting Fury back in the ring with Usyk.

    He will probably blow up to the size of whale and postpone the fight again…or retire.

    can we get someone to be a stand in for Fury? Maybe Parker if Fury is unavailable?

    Also, Usyk was contracted for a rematch against AJ and had a mando against Dubois, who Warren somehow shuffled into that position. In other words, he's been at the mercy of Hearn/Warren scheming to get their guys to titles. Fury had one mando followed by two sham fights

    For starters they can throw in John Fury to settle the score with Usyks team.

    I don't think he ever been in it for the money to be fair. And if you finish when on top, you'll never know if you could've reached higher. If he looses to, say Hrgovic or someone in a few years, he'll now he's on decline and it time to hang them up.

    Yes, Fury knows full well that he won't fix his technical deficiencies at this age. That's why he wanted no part of the best HW counter puncher of this generation (probably one of the best ever) to begin with. The funny thing is that Fury knows his limitations so much better than his fans do.

    This is a total mute point

    Both Fury & Usyk can hurt one another and have made it to where they are because they don't/can't rely on their power

    Fury knew Usyk could hurt him hence why he fought the way he did.

    They aren't going in October because both have just done nearly 5 months of training with a short break in the middle and they beat the CRUD out of each other. Usyk has facial fractures.

    Boxing fans are such a lame bunch of fickle LOSERS. Get lives. Are you grown ass men or babies? We've just waited over 1 year longer for this bout because of money reasons and an extra few months for aging fighters to heal makes you cry?

    Anyone crying about December needs their heads swivelled. Usyk & Fury deserve the summer off.

    Still coping I see. Mute point . lmao. Fury getting battered from pillar to post and saved by the ref is a mute point. Fury had a plan till he got punched.. Since you replied to me, I said the result will be the same. How the **** you got all the other crap about summer fight or December fight is beyond me. Maybe listen to your own advice and get a life. Jerking off to Fury isn't healthy for you. You are seeing stuff now.
