    Fury retired from the game after he beat Wilder in their 2nd bout & Usyk retired when he beat AJ first time around. Both have spark in them both not full fight length against another top tier opponent level spark.

    Once Fury shows Usyk what he's capable of in their bout next year it will be ring circle survive and take the L from the giant twice his size. Or Fury could turn up half arsed which I doubt and it will be a close fight.

    Fury will never fight Usyk, I've made peace with it now.

    Don't worry, just one more round of antics of it's on and it's off to go through and we'll be at the weigh in. I promise.

    I kind of feel bad for you, mate. You always make these big promises and pleas on Fury's behalf and he keeps screwing you over. You want to sell him as this ATG fighter who is building a lasting legacy while he is just a con man interested in easy money. I lost count of how many times you were damn sure Fury would do next only to fail spectacularly, lol.

    Fury has already done his job in this sport

    just because a midget came around in the last couple of years felling a bodybuilder doesn't mean anything...but when the Saudi's pay up $1billion he will happily go to town on said midget.

    What I do know is afterwards it will be excuses "yeah he only really beat a crappy HW in AJ. Yeah he was old. Yeah he was small."

    Lol, no, he hasn't. He is a million miles away from living up to this hype he created about himself.

    Since 2015, in eight years, he has had five title fights, only three title defences, and fought only two top guys - and even that's a stretch, to call the multiple times knocked out, shallow version of his former self Whyte a top guy. Two notable names in eight years, only three defences. Never defended more than one belt. That's it, that's the legacy of "the greatest fighter born from his mother", lol. Pathetic.

    The real greats cleaned their division up. Fury did no such thing, he isn't even close. Even if he beat Usyk (he won't, lol, he won't even face him because he knows "the middleweight" would expose him badly), where's the fight against Joshua, Joyce, Zhang, Ruiz, Makhmudov, Hrgovic, Bakole etc? These guys all challenged muffin top but he ducked them all. Just in the past 6 months, Fury ducked/failed to respond to the challenge from Usyk, Joyce, Zhang, Ruiz, Hrgovic and Makhmudov. And now he goes on to "fight" with a non-boxer, lol.

    This is why still being a Fury fan in 2023 is bordering on psychosis. In order to still be a fan, you have to believe that
    1) either all these guys (and the media around them) are lying and they never actually challenged Fury
    or
    2) all these guys demanded too much money or made the fight some other way impossible to go ahead

    I'm pretty sure there will be a time in the not-too-distant future when being a Fury fan will be classified as an actual psychiatric condition.

    How about cleaning out his era and fighting Povetkin, Joyce, Zhang, Hrgovic, Bakole, Makhmudov, etc, etc.
