    It should already be tarnished.

    The guy is a pathological liar.

    He only has two real names on his resume (one was near retirement, the other has barely fought anybody himself).

    He does nothing but come up with excuses for why he doesn't have to fight anybody who isn't a handpicked opponent.

    He's also managed to totally evade public scrutiny for failing a drug test for the Hammer fight. UKAD somehow escaped scrutiny as well for not reporting the failure until after Fury had beaten Klitschko, in a fight that he shouldn't have been eligible for. This should've been as much as a doping scandal as Benn's positive tests, especially considering that the farmer who gave Fury his "tainted meat" alibi eventually admitted that he was paid to lie.

    Like someone said Tyson Fury is a Road Warrior who has one of the greatest resumes in this era of heavyweight boxing and the last 40 plus years.

    Yes, i'd say so, even If he rematches Ngannou, it will never be fully redeemed

    Fury only has six title fights and three defenses with two quality names on his record.

    There are multiple guys from the 90s, who were never considered the best at the time, who have better resumes.

    I’ve just said to a friend that I feel the Sugar Hill bubble has burst, if it was ever a thing. Fury with his own game plan walked down Wilder in the second fight but every fight since then he has slowly been deteriorating. Probably a lack of live opposition and self induced inactivity killing his skill set and desire. If he feels he mauls and rag dolls Usyk then great but I can see Usyk out working Fury based on his last few performances and poor output. If the body can do it, it might be worth Fury looking to have Davidson back in his corner.

    Yes fury has lost fans and rightly so. Not up to the hype of being the best on the planet.

    He's a duck

    He's not unbeaten

    He talks shite

    He's a bum

    Time to retire having never fought AJ, USK,

    Next generation of boxers now please.

    Real shame as it's someone I used to like. Not now .

    Impossible to say at this stage. Depends on 1. What happens vs Usyk 2. What Ngannou goes on to do. This could turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

    His reputation has been smashed to bits. Just look at the reaction from everybody not close to him pretty much. Last night he was humbled infront of the world and he will never get away from that unless he smashes him to bits in a rematch.
