Usyk is still performing like he’s in his prime but should he retire?

    Bro he’s the best hw of this era hands down. If he was 33-34 I’d agree. But at 37?

    I don't think retiring as the Undisputed champion will do him any good, I think a couple of defenses would better his legacy in the end.

    Agreed

    Floyd is much better, but he is still great himself

    **** the rematch lol I’m good if Usyk retires like this on top. Winning the rematch doesn’t even improve his legacy. He’s already solidified.

    I think usyk should ride off into the sunset and let the rest of the division fight a tournament to decide the next champ. He has nothing to prove plus it would drive Fury insane to be deprived of getting revenge. There's no guarantee that once the smoke settles Fury will want the rematch anyway. After he watches the fight again that 9th round will haunt him, he was battered all over the ring in the 9tg

    He dominated him from round 7 to round 12.

    Do you think Usky should retire after this?

    Those are your fantasies my friend... this fight was close and a rematch has to be done and it will be done.

    I wouldn’t mind if he called it a day because he’s achieved everything he could’ve possibly done in the sport now. Maybe come back once more to ring Fury’s bell again.

    I'd like to see a rematch first and then maybe Kabayel or Hrgovic but he doesn't have anything left to prove.

    I'd love to see this one again but wouldn't blame Usyk if he didn't bother.

    Maybe he has nothing left to prove, but I would love to see him against guys like Kabayel and Parker
