Usyk walks back 2-fights more. Doesn't know how long he's going on.

    If he were really concerned about his health, he wouldn’t have moved up to heavyweight and challenged giants like Joshua and Fury. He weighed the pros and cons and chose to fight. That’s professional boxing—if you step into the kitchen, you have to handle the heat.

    He moved up to heavyweight because there’s no big money in cruiserweight. The man was already dreaming of those fat paychecks, so he went up to heavyweight.

    Load of ****. He has said many times throughout his career that his goal is undisputed heavy, and as we see now, he is a bit obsessed by it.

    I'll believe he'll fight someone other than Dubois and Chisora when I see it.

    He unseated Kiltschko and beat Wilder, the third name in the post-Klit era before Usyk. This has already been explained to you, and the entire rest of the boxing world understands this was the dynamic.

    Let's talk about Fury's resume being 'improved' by fighting Dubious, Hrgovic, Kabayel, Zhang, AJ, Parker etc.
    This is the reality of Fury beating these people before he retired. Here is the real narrative.
    1. Dubious. Dubious got TKO'd by Joyce who is bad, got KO'd by Usyk who is a featherfist at HW. He was always a hype-job.
    2. Hrgovic. Croatian basically lost to Zhang, then got beaten by Dubious (if that had happened). He was already exposed and beat noone.
    3. Kabayel. Fury was already being criticised for choosing him around December a few years ago.
    4. Zhang. Old man Zhang who got beaten by Parker. Or if it was before Joyce, he'd beaten absolutely nobody.
    5. AJ. AJ would get him some credit but actually AJ now is past-it and everyone knows, so he'd never get full credit.
    6. Parker got KO'd by Joyce and actually didn't want to fight Fury because he knew he'd lose. So not a real challenge.

    People now pretend that they'd credit Fury for all these wins but at the time he'd get basically nothing for anyone except AJ.

    I don't think its fair to say Parker is trying to maintain his record, he has already taken a load of dangerous, risky fights. Kabayel yeah I get, he spent years taking easy fights and only started taking bigger risks for Saudi money.

    But more likely they are wanting world titles, and right now they both have decent chances of picking up a world title/title shot without having to take the risky fight against each other.

    Senseless post.

    Fighters lose.

    You dont get to avoid an entire division because each one of the challengers have lost before, lol.

    And the idea he wouldnt get credit is even more nonsensical.

    Fury gets credit for beating Wlad, although Wlad lost numerous times before.

    DD gets credit for beating AJ, although AJ was tko'd by Ruiz.

    Parker gets credit for beating Zhang, even though Zhang lost before.

    Ect ect.

    This idea that theres no strengthening of legacy by beating top fighters just because they lost before is bizarre to say the least.

    No. He's fighting for money. And it's completely normal. He was disappointed when Dubois beat AJ, because AJ fight would be a greater payday.

    So you say. Unfortunately, you can't read his mind, and don't speak for him.

    Every fighter fights for money. No one is in the biz for free. Doesn't mean they don't have personal goals though.

    kirk , that will not happen . They will keep to pay off the sanctioning bodies to keep him away from any dangerous opponent .

    Money is there , thats not the point . its about to keep an active national hero .

    I do not think he will ever face a fight he is in danger to loose.

    Nothing can take his legacy away...he can only build on it. And money has nothing to do with it. He has said again and again that he loves boxing. He has said that if he could do it every day, he would.

    He has said that he is tired of the training, which is probably why he was considering retirement.

    Uh, you are the one trying to do so. I just go by the things he says.
