    What do you think took more out of his gas tank? Moving to hw, or if staying down at cruiser, just wondering?

    Heavyweights can still be good in their early 40's these days

    Still in great shape. He has said Fury then a fight in Ukraine, then retirement.

    Not sure, but I do know Ukrainians are fuel efficient though and with maintenance they can run forever, like Wladimir Klitchsko.

    He looks a bit tired but not old. Plus he is old but is like a car with a few extra years but low miles. Either way, he’s going to give the e fans a great fight if Fury doesn’t pull out. I guess he can’t technically pull out because it’s not officially signed yet. Hope this fight happens. Fury is flaky and I don’t trust it until the date is announced officially and both guys sign on the line. Modern boxing has jaded me.

    Not small ones who depend upon movement. No hw has been close to prime in their forties.

    He should retire, if that fight with Fury can't be made.

    Joyce, Hrgovic and Makhmudov should be next champions

    Just this year. Fight Fury and then a farewell fight vs any chosen opponent and call it a day.

    Hrgovic nearly got ko'd vs Zhang and needed a dodgy decision.
    Joyce is also old but has more left.

    There arent that many freat upcoming hw prospects unfortunately
