Should there be a trilogy?

I wouldn’t mind seeing it again as it was the most high level rivalry at heavyweight in a long time, but it doesn’t make sense since Usyk is 2-0.

 

In Wembley, too? Stop trying to seed artificial support for this online, Frank!

 

If Fury earns it, maybe. But not right after a second straight defeat.

 

Dear god, why?

 

Fury should fight Joshua

Usyk vs the winner of Bivol vs Beterbiev

 

Fury is in a similar situation to Groves with Froch where he was competitive but making the trilogy is hard to justify in boxing culture because he lost twice. Actually Groves was in a better position because the first loss was truly a corrupt stoppage and he was winning, but it's the same type of thing where he wanted the trilogy and everyone knew it was a competitive matchup, but it couldn't really be justified.

Groves' idea was to get a belt then make a unification fight with Froch which could give him the justification. Fury might have the same idea, but not sure he can get the Dubious/Parker fight when they will want Usyk.

Fact is he messed up taking the MMA fight and getting concussed before the first fight where low and behold he almost got KO'd and also getting fat for the second. Before that he messed up stabbing Davison in the back and hiring 'Sugar Hill'. He might still have lost twice but it would have been closer, and it's conceivable he could have got a draw even if he didn't get a decision and then he would have a better case for the trilogy.

 

No. Trilogy is usually when it's 1-1 or there was some kind of a controversy. I don't see this warranting one unless Fury went on a spectacular win streak

 

Perfect post, deserves to be read again.

 

No, if by any chance Fury won the first fight, then he would have refused the rematch, declaring that he is better than Usyk, the winner between Dubois and Parker deserves that fight...

 

Why not, but must offer huge/greater money/percentage then (although I'm not really a super fan of rematches). Though Fury should move on from Usyk even if just for now as a 3rd fight could end up with him losing badly, eg. Pacquiao-Marquez. The higher IQ fighter would likely benefit more with rematches, with more data. Fury and his camp already tried two different approaches and neither worked. His clinching and supposed weight and inertia advantages didn't work in the second approach too. No more surprises. Just target the likes of AJ for huge money/event, and Dubois which I think he could outbox/dominate quite similar to Wilder since his IQ is seemingly way higher than the two.

 

Usyk has proven he is the better man and Fury knows he cannot beat him. Nothing controversial in both fights with the correct result. The only controversy is the referee saving Fury from being knocked out in the first fight.

 

Absolutely not

 

let's assume Usyk wants 3 more fights

Let's say Usyk fights and beats the winner of Parker-Dubois.

Fury needs to fight and beat the winner of Kabayel-Zhang.

If Fury can beat the winner of Kabayel-Zhang and Usyk beats winner of Dubois-Parker, then you could potentially justify a triology.

Fury has not beaten a legit top opponent since Wilder 3 years ago. Good lord.

He needs to beat a legit top 10 guy, whether it's Kabayel, Zhang, Bakole etc. And then we can talk tribology.
