    There's always someone else to beat though.

    Fury will fight Wilder again, then AJ and retire. However, he'll comeback another couple of times to take on the no.1 guy at that time, if there is one. I'm convinced every time there's a no.1 guy, Fury will come back and fight them until he's too old and possibly loses. He loves those types of challenges.

    It’s a potential loss I worry about.

    AJ fight has to happen for Fury to be ranked with the all time elite ie Ali/Foreman/Lewis as there is an argument the rest of the best nowadays aren’t elite in any past era. Whatever he decides though he just proved in my eyes he’s the best around in this era by a mile. Funny enough I think the only way to beat Fury is to do exactly what he did the other night and put it on him but easier said than done! If he fights like that for another two fights whoever it is he will win hands down without punishment so why not pick up the zillions for the sake of it!

    Fury should fight Joshua and Dubois as his last 2 fights.

    I'd love to see him fight AJ, Whyte and Usyk over the next 2 years then ride off into the sunset.

    But to be honest, if he just decided to fight AJ and won the fight therefore becoming undisputed - he has nothing left to prove.

    Wins over Wlad, Wilder and AJ. Undisputed undefeated 2 time HW champion. Legacy well and truly secured.

    If Usyk can string some wins together against legit top 15 HW's within the 12-18 months him and AJ would be the iconic, career definers for Tyson. Beat those 2 and he's easily the best HW since Lennox. The rest of the bunch not too bothered about, some decent names but the undefeated Usyk and the only guy with an arguably better resume of opponents and longer run as champ are the definers.

    There isn't

    Fury and AJ are the blatant 1 and 2 with the rest quite a distance behind

    Fury beats AJ then there really is no one to beat who people would truly think could dethrone Fury

    Boxing is weird though in regard to the latter. I mean, Lewis beat Tyson, Holyfield and Klitschko but was dethroned by Rahman. I’m not saying they’d be favourites to win but if Fury beats Joshua that doesn’t necessarily mean he cannot lose against the likes of Usyk, Whyte or Dubois.

    4 weeks for Wilder to exercise the rubber match clause. If he does, it's that next and actually very dangerous for Fury if you think about it

    He can look pretty bad in fights he’s expected to win. Although you’d hope that the threat of a one punch KO would keep him on his toes.

    Sounds bad until you look at ex 'World Champion' Alex Arthur who never won a World Title Fight in the ring - presented with a belt and lost it at first 'defence'
