    I'm old enough to remember when some said he revolutionized boxing.

    I’d place him in my top 20 because he had some solid wins and was an undisputed champion. That said, he could’ve achieved much more if he had taken his career more seriously. Nowadays, he’ll mostly be remembered as a stepping stone for Usyk

    Fury has ' retired ' today.However he is likely to 'unretire ' in the next few days.He keeps
    doing this.One of the things that makes him so boring.

    TBF Ali, Mayweather, and Leonard retired and unretired a lot. That being said I never liked his shtick.

    I'm not taking him seriously.
    I haven't done tbh since he beat Klitschko.
    It's been one stupid thing after another coming out of his gob.
    Look for him to sign to fight Joshua in the summer...

    he rates among the many thousands of fighters who have stepped into the Ring.

    as to GREATS, Greats and greats, he does not compute...

    TF is nothing more than a Well Protected & Marketed Commodity, period.
