    None from me. If Fury is fit and Usyk wins then he's the better fighter. If Fury is out of shape then that's his own fault.

    Furys self promotion game is top tier. He wakes in the morning to a note that says "hate = money"

    This is one of your frequent moments where you want to sound clever but you didn’t think it through and you make zero sense.

    How exactly do discussions about his shortcomings on an online message board generate income for Fury? There are no affiliate links, Google ad revenues etc. here. The site has no financial links to Team Fury and their brand whatsoever.

    Pointless thread, that fight is extremely unlikely to happen for the following reasons:

    Usyk fights once a year

    Usyk has mandatories

    Usyk won’t sign the fight

    Fury has moved on from Usyk now to MMA guys for more money/celebrity status

    Usyk won’t be the champion If/When Fury returns

    Undisputed fight = Pipe dream at this point, Usyk had his chance and pulled out to fight Dubois which logically I can’t blame him for

    That won't happen so it's moot. Fury won't get "battered" by Usyk.

    Fat Fury is as good as retired. Personally I don't think he'll ever fight a decent opponent again, he's effectively cashing out with minimum risk.

    If he did get in the ring with a decent opponent, I think he'd be embarrassed by reduced skills due to his lifestyle.

    I think Fury knows he's on the wane, he knows his discipline is not there to fight decent competition.

    In that very macho traveller culture there's nothing worse than being embarrassed physically. This is Furys worst nightmare, and imo he's petrified of losing his unbeaten record.
    He wants to retire/do exhibitions and continue to shout from the sidelines that he could beat anyone he likes, and anyone decent is too much of a loser for him to bother with.

    The expectation that he's going to fight Usyk, or similar, is a waste of time considering.

    This. If Fury's trying to age Usyk out then he's making a big mistake because his own lifestyle is more damaging to him than Usyk's clearly fitness-centric lifestyle is to him.

    So concerned about observing what and when a random member posts.

    Concerning.

    Actually, that's not correct. Your place is set by how many people are ahead of you, regardless of how they finish. That goes for horse racing, golf and any other sport I know of. Not trying to argue so if you know a sport which does not do it that way I'd love to check that out.

    The former is evident but the latter is just your pipe dream.
