    Just watched an interview with Eddie Hearn, and surprisingly agreed with a lot of what he said. Fury was diabolical against Ngannou and looks finished. His family and closest friends should be brutally honest and tell him what he needs to hear. Against Wilder II he looked relatively lean, very fast and very strong. What has happened? Last night against Ngannou, he looked far too fat, sluggish, out of ideas, slow , weak and amateur.

    After the Otto Wallin fight where he was at least accurate and active, although weak, he got rid of his trainer and changed his style. That needs to happen again, because against much of the undercard last night he would probably have been stopped. He now needs a training team who will tell him what he needs to hear to make necessary radical changes. If he wants to weigh in heavier, why can't he slim down and put on muscle? What is the obsession he has got about getting fatter and fatter?! He trained for 12 weeks for the Ngannou fight?! What was he doing during camp? Eating pies and donuts?!

    If he can't make those changes, for the sake of his family, health and legacy he needs to retire.

    Fury didn't do anything. The fix was in. Let him look good for the duration...you get the decision..everyone is saying rematch...in the corner...Sugar Hill says to him..you can make this as hard as you want...tell me we were supposed to hear that. Moneyt racket. Torrenting this garbage from now on. No more PPVs here. Not even letting my rich buddy buy this garbage.

    What's this legacy one speaks of
    Beating an old timer whilst moaning like **** in regards to the event
    Running away from the rematch
    Being willing to rematch chisora constantly
    And going 1-1-1 with windymiller
    Getting his shyte pushed in off of a 0-0-0 mmaer
    Stop riding his sausage

    Retire? What about one ugly small midlleweight rabbit and Historical fight?

    Fury looks bad in his third fight with Wilder already. He was also fat and slow, taking punch he should not taking.

    Ppl dont see it because he win. I told ppl that he slow down and if You watch Usyk vs Joshua and later him vs Wilder its massive difference in speed.

    But he should not retire. We all want see what he will talking after loss to small rabbit. After all this years we deserve to see it

    Yes please, and he should take his obnoxious fans with him. Basic manners not to leave your rubbish lying around.

    The look on Tyson's face at the end tells me it probably wasn't a fix.

    Fight Usyk then retire. Ridiculous that the AJ fight didn't happen but not a surprise judging by how **** this sport can be.

    He lost to Ngannou. There is no way anyone can score that fight for Fury. This was a clear loss.
    He should have 3 loses on his record, hell maybe even more.

    He clearly lost to McDermott, he should have been DQ against Cunningham, and he clearly lost now to Ngannou as well.
    Hell even the Wallin fight should have been stopped, and Fury was dirty asf in that fight as well.
    All he got is hold, hold, hold.

    In any other sport he would be point deducted straight away.

    Massive credit to Tyson Fury. He is looking in fantastic shape for the Usyk fight, and looks 100% in the zone. More muscle, less fat, and looking to become undisputed! Again.

    I agree he looked significantly worse in the 3rd fight, but thought that was because he didn't take it as seriously as the 2nd. Came very close to getting finished despite eventually dominating.
    The sounds coming out the camp pre fight suggested he had other things on his mind at it seemed clear to me his prep wasn't ideal.

    I'm not against the idea he's past his prime, and to some extent we'll see tomorrow, but there's more to that 3rd fight than his age IMO

    He was terrible Vs Francis but did outland him.

    Yeah perhaps lost the first McDermott.

    Not sure why he would be dqed against Cunningham.

    If he loses, he has 1 or 2 fights max. A rematch and then Wembley against Joshua and then retire.

    Huge credit to both fighters for a great contest. I thought that Fury had him at around six, and after that did not do enough, and Usyk made it difficult with his pace. Fury said he would want the win more, but honestly, it looked like Usyk wanted the win a lot more. Huge heart though from both boxers.
