Don't worry about the 'half decent shape' bit. Fury's got the world convinced that if he doesn't perform then it doesn't count.
If he enters the ring, then that's a Tyson Fury with every opportunity to prepare.
The Tyson Fury who looked schyte against Ngannou was the real Tyson Fury.

Cos if there's a clear winner that person retires undefeated, undisputed, grand unified with their 0 intact, their legacy complete.
I reckon the loser would retire too as there's nothing more to prove in fighting A-Side Joshy or anyone.
I could see Usyk retiring if he loses though. He's already said he's not interested in fighting anymore except for undisputed. He's coming up 38 and he doesn't seem the kind of guy that would keep fighting too long and start losing to guys he shouldn't. I think he would still take the Fury rematch if he lost though, again, why not? You've lost once, might as well roll the dice again for a lot of money and if you lose again it doesn't change much.
hard to say though with these Saudi purses. I personally believe Wilder would be retired now if not for these Saudi cards. I think this is going to be a common theme. Such big names being used as stepping stones instead of retiring because of the money available there.Last edited by deathofaclown; 03-23-2024, 04:43 AM.

He is not slow. That position is false.
He has show me he 1 ) Can punch. 2 ) can move his feet rather quickly, 3 ) Skills as in his jab, right hand , body attack, and hook. 3 ) Great #'s in terms height and reach. 4 ) A very good chin . 5 ) Good hand speed. 6) The willingness to fight anyone.
NOW he had not proved this vs. the top three fighters in the division yet .... But has had only has had 17 fights.
I can educate you on him, but making you listen to what I am saying is up to you.Last edited by Dr. Z; 03-23-2024, 08:10 AM.BoxOfficer likes this.

Amateur rankings are an interesting thing. They certainly count for something, considering that's the style most fight with these days but they don't really guarantee a top Echelon spot because the best fighters only occasionally fight in that style. Fighters that do fight in this style, like Loma and usyk are kind of exceptions to the rule.

I for sure think the loser is gonna wanna avenge his L. These two are far too competitive to retire on an L when a rematch is already booked imo.
I think AJ makes sense for Fury, but idk there is any reason to expect Usyk to fight AJ a third time unless there is just ridiculous money in play.Last edited by Eff Pandas; 03-23-2024, 03:26 PM.
