    Probably, yes.

    But he still has to fight Usyk in addition to said dossers.

    At least I didn't mention Bredies in there, but no doubt he somehow would be able to shoehorn him in there somewhere. We know what would be in the response anyway. A passionate retort based on Eastern European, Western, Briedis, cruiserweight and other such stuff. I've not seen him post in ages.

    No because he'll lose to Usyk next year.

    no way, i dont see Fury as a guy that has desire to fight lots of lower level fights just to obtain a record.

    When i say lower level fights i mean guys ranked high just to give the champ a defense.

    Nah. Fury is already 33, assuming a rate of 2 successful defences a year, he will be 38 by the time he surpasses Wilder. I don't see Fury staying in the sport that long

    Fury has 3 more fights if that then he’s retired .

    Fury has no interest in fighting the number of b and c level fighters that Wilder padded his record with. What would be the point of that? It proves nothing fighting the likes of Malik Scott or shot to **** fighters like the white wolf, etc.

    lol! Fury will get nowhere near that number and is about ready to retire, he`s only got a few big fights left before he gets bored and retires.

    Plenty of us do. It's a higher standard that whatever the alphabet boys bring. Also, Fury regained the Lineal Championship when he beat Wilder in the second fight. I'll take Fury's Lineal winning effort over Klitschko and two kayos over Wilder than anything Joshua or Wilder have done.

    Two a year will be extremely optimistic. I have a feeling we are going to have a Jack Dempsey reign, with Usyk as his own Harry Wills.

    Fury seems kinda' flaky around the edges so I wouldn't bet on it, but with bauble inflation over recent decades, does it really matter? What's a "championship" worth at this point? I was just in another thread and people were talking about a 2 division champ being too young and inexperienced to face the best among his peers. Fury > Wilder. Don't lose sleep over it.

    No. Quite frankly he looked old for 33 last month. I can only see him motivated for the Joshua vs Usyk winner. Hell he might get picked off by Whyte if he shows no motivation. My guess is he makes 1 more defense. Then fights winner of Joshua vs Usyk and win or lose - rides off into the sunset. So I see a total of 2-3 defenses for him

    Hell no. Fury’s gonna fight AJ, Usyk, or Whyte next then retire. I doubt he’s gonna fight all three. I wouldn’t be surprised if he had one more easy fight right now before retiring
