    On the other hand, without tune-ups, you don't get big upsets. No Tyson-Douglas, no AJ-Ruiz, etc.

    I wasn't really talking about his legacy, but his physical condition. Taking the Chisora fight is a sign to me he is in bad shape and looking for someone who is 100% safe.

    He's certainly on the physical decline. 34 plus a ton of wear and tear from drugs, alcohol, and a poor diet. Had he lived clean the entire time, he might have had another 3-5 or so good years in him. But he didn't.

    Good. So he'll fight Usyk next. Right?

    I sure as hell hope so. It's the fight the entire boxing world wants.

    I think Fury definitely wants it too, it's the biggest money fight outside of an AJ scrap plus it gives Fury an opportunity to win back all the belts he won from Klitschko.
