After Usyk beats Fury again in December what next for the Gypsy King? He’s had a tremendous career, maybe it will be time to hang them up.
If Joshua beats Dubois in a rematch and that's a big if then Joshua vs Fury makes sense. It would probably be like Khan vs Brook a big British fight but it happened way too late.
He has a lot of options... 1) Alcoholism, bitterness, ranting interviews and kicking cabs 2) Cash out with Joshua 3) Chisora 4 4) Ngannaou rematch 5) Working with children (because he is such a great role model)
Retirement For both Regardless of the outcome Both are in decline phase and it's a very slippery slope to the bottom when you start sliding.
Your bitterness towards Fury makes me an Aj fan in comparison Your cockiness may come back to haunt you December mate lol
C'mon, pal. I used to be a huge fan, but his behavior since the conclusion of the Whyte fight has been deplorable. Fighting Chisora a third time...fighting an MMA guy, coming in looking like a blob and embarrassing himself...accusing Usyk of ducking when he was the one putting the poison pills in negotiations...degrading Usyk by calling him a "middleweight" and a "rabbit,"...losing to a middleweight and a rabbit...saying that he only lost because of the Ukraine war when he got every advantage and should have been stopped...several public displays of drunkenness....bragging about cheating on Paris... The guy has become a full-blown egomaniac piece of ****, and what is more, you know this. There is no way he is beating Usyk in December...it is a lifetime of training against a lifetime of self-abuse. At their age, Usyk is permanently the better man, and that is all. Fury didn't do the things he would have to do to have a long career.
A properly trained Fury with a good physique, mentality and none of this clown **** would have been a real force. What a waste
Fury has a chance of winning. Usyk is a better fighter and naturally more athletic, but Fury has a huge size advantage (height and reach). In rounds 4 to 6 in the first fight, Usyk had some trouble getting past Fury's freakishly long arms. And Fury is younger, and is probably less shopworn than Usyk, with Usyk having a long amateur career and in recent years, fighting bigger men. However Usyk lives a clean lifestyle, as doesn't abuse his body with wild boar meat, cocaine, and excessive booze. Fury's promoters will likely have the officials helping him - with one more dishonest judge, and Fury would have "won" the first fight! And there will no doubt be a Queensberry referee in there to protect Fury, and to wave his hands for a British stoppage if Usyk is even slightly hurt.
If Fury beats Usyk despite the lifestyle he lives, then it elevates him. Usyk spent his life living the right way, but it doesn't matter Fury will raise his game and stop him this time You guys actually think Usyk is better than Floyd and that is embarrassing. A heavyweight Floyd or manny would slap the head off him easily. The cruiser and hw divisions are terrible
Fury has more chance of beating Usyk than Joshua has of beating Dubois. If they both lose they probably should both retire.
December will come quick enough, and we shall see. I think Floyd and Usyk will both be remembered as uber-elite, and differentiating will be essentially meaningless. Floyd got credit for a number of fights he arguably didn't win, so no, I don't think he's light years ahead of Usyk at all, but they are both with the true, first tier, upper echelon, pfp ATGs. It is generally acknowledged that Usyk presided over the best cruiserweight division ever, and as he himself proves, that was the one and only time the cruisers were better than the heavies. I have carefully delineated that this is so far the third best decade in heavyweight boxing ever: https://www.boxingforum24.com/threa...-decade-in-heavyweight-boxing-history.725731/
Bold assumptions here, and after last weekend we all know how that turned out. I think Fury has a solid shot if he turns up in shape and makes the correct adjustments in the corner. If his dad is there it's game over.
