If you ask me, Tyson had his brains scrambled long before Deontay 'Bronze-Bum' Wilder knocked him out in the 12.

Prizefighers should regularly check their brain health, especially if they've had quite a few fights.

Fury took a bit of punishment in the third fight, but I'd be very concerned about Wilder's health.

The beating that Deontay took in the second and third fight was bad. He should think again if he wants to come back for a while.

He has enough money, and more money isn't worth more damage to the brain.

For Fury to offer something this revealing, would be an indicator that he might be leaning towards retiring. No fighter gives that much up if they're going to continue boxing. This is only something one reveals after they leave this sport.

Also, Fury really seems to respect Wilder - the opponent. He's been offering quite a few nods, towards Wilder's direction.

He fought hardest puncher ever three times and bullied him twice. Bodybuilder shat under his pants when he watched that.

Proof that fighting Wilder was not a easy task for Tyson Fury. But this has not been the perception certain people have, of the trilogy. These people are mainly hardcore Tyson Fury fans, and Deontay Wilder detractors 'Who have continually tried to make out, that fighting Wilder was a walk in the park for Fury'.

Deontay Wilder pushed Tyson Fury to his outer limits, both inside the ring and outside. There may never be another fighter again, who demands so much from Tyson Fury.

I theorized a long time ago, that the fights with Deontay Wilder was the reason Tyson Fury decided to retire.

I am not mocking Tyson Fury. Because at the end of the day, he fought Wilder head on in two fights. He fought Wilder with dangerous, but effective tactics.

There are not many current fighters, who would of fought Wilder in that manner.

But as a result of those fights, the damage and strain of the competition influenced Fury's decision to retire 'That was the consequence of the battle'.

Wilder earned the boxing fraternity respect back in that 3rd fight.

You forgot the worst one.





Took years off his own life with that.

No he didn't - unless you're excluding NSB from said 'fraternity'. He gets little-to-no respect here for being that warrior he said he was.
