    Fury has seen champions come and go many times in his reign

    Blink and Usyk will be on the canvas with a pinhead Dubious standing over him

    Fury is in no rush, he is waiting for that £100m paycheck.

    Maybe, but you must find the there’s a lack of big fights & too many inactive boxers, no ?

    How about PED cheat to ruin a legacy or is that only used against certain fighters.

    Agree about ducking Usyk. Shameful

    hes trash. from what ive seen, he learned how to be trash at home.
    never been impressed with him. i understand why he was made a big deal about, but i never thought he was particularly skillful, or gifted. hes big and he avoids getting hit well...and he talks nothing but ****.

    Not to mention aging Usyk out. Usyk will now be at least 39 before they fight, if they do. Right in the age range Fury prefers.

    Even if he does fight Usyk, the guy will be 39 or 40 when it happens. Fury has proven his worth as a cherry picker and ducker, nothing more.

    Not sure what legacy you're talking about. Fury had great three fight trilogy with Wilder for sure, other than that .... And Usyk a great cruiserweight and beat a shot fighter twice. Joshua has never been the same since Ruiz knocked him out.

    Fury's a strange guy he doesn't actually give a **** about his legacy he's made that quite clear in countless interviews. Then another day he will occasionally say something like 'this fight has to happen, all the marbles, the glory' etc but more often than not he states he couldn't care less about his legacy, and has said the belts are 'worthless pieces of ****' lol. I'm sure Iron Mike said that himself once. I think he will fight Usyk because he legitimately wants someone to challenge him, you can tell he enjoyed having an absolute war with the bronze dosser so why wouldn't he want to try and out think the cat for millions and millions? If he isn't scared of being smashed in the face by Wilder he isn't going to be scared of having a chess match with Usyk.

    The real problem is, given their respective ages, this showdown is losing relevance by the day.

    When you fight 1 or 2 times a year then people are right to be impatient. Unless they look through rose tinted glasses and rim their favourite boxer in the way you do.

    But he is scared of Usyk schooling him and exposing him. His fear of losing his zero, being made a fool off amd losing his fantasy h2h matchup hype proves his ego is greatly intertwined with his accomplishment in the ring.
    It alao explains why he is ducking and cherry picking so obviously.

    Cause Wilder is a ducking fraud coward as well. His record is a complete joke. The guy is the ultimate one trick pony that thought hr could add Fury on a coke binge comeback to his record. It was medium risk high reward for both fighters.

    I dont really like AJ but atleast he fought like a champion and wasnt as much of a ducker as Fury and Wilder.

    What a pathetic conspiracy:
    - Fury was born in 1988, abused plenty of bad things
    - Usyk was born in 1987, lived strictly as an athlete

    It depends on if you have an age friendly style though. Its not as much of a Floyd aging out pac argument though but to beat the bigger Fury Usyk's lack of athletecism as he gets older will make it more difficult than for Fury when he sliws down.
    I dont think Fury is aging him out though. He's just scared of Usyk now, same as Floyd with Pac post dlh, hatton and cotto.
