    The way I see it, if AJ loses to Fury nobody really cares or is in the least bit surprised as the consensus is he wasn’t that good after all but spin that dynamic and Fury’s wafer thin legacy is completely destroyed. I think Fury has ‘jacked’ with this Zuffa move and sleeps better potentially losing a third fight to Usyk.

    "Wafer thin" is just boxing forum nonsense. But yes, Fury has more to lose, and has more to gain and less to lose in boxing terms by going the Usyk 3 route.

    You have to be delusional/biased/trolling to describe conquering ATG Wlad in Germany, and HoF Wilder over a trilogy in America, with one of the greatest comebacks in boxing history in between, as a "wafer thin" legacy. Even Fury's 2nd tier wins; the likes of Chisora and Whyte, are among the absolute best wins for the likes of Vitali, Povetkin, Haye etc.

    Mostly agree, I think wafer thin is a bit harsh though.

    If I were in Fury's shoes I'd take the easy title off of Dubios/go for the harder one in Kabayel and get the Usyk 3 payday with a chance of the upset due to Usyks age. AJ is a high risk, zero reward fight as we all know Fury would get zero credit for it.

    EDITTING TO CLARIFY: I would still like to see the fight of course.

    Maybe not so much that aspect I'm in agreement with, more so the inital part of the comment

    Think how smart AJ boxed Usyk in their 2nd fight. He was still not good enough, but could that boxing AJ vs this ageing Kronk Tyson actually be a quite interesting?

    If revising the result in your head helps you sleep at night that's ok sugar.

    1. That AJ doesn't exist anymore, it was over four years ago

    2. Fury won't fight AJ with the Kronk style, he'll be outboxing

    It's an interesting fight, 60-40 with the bookies.

    Projection. I don't have to play make-believe about the result of a boxing match to cope.

    You responded to my thread with make-believe revisionism. I didn't ask you to, you've never had an interesting thought in your life, and you've certainly never communicated one. I find you boring and pathetic.

    The wins over Wilder will age very poorly though due to Wilders resume

    To make things worse the new era looks to be better than Furys
