    Usyk is great if he beats fury. Might be worthy of top 10 all time, who knows?

      It’s clear that these Ukrainian guys can stay looking like they’re in their prime even in their late 30s. Wlad, Vitali, Lomachenko have shown this. And Usyk didn’t look like he lost a step vs AJ.

      So idk about that. I think Usyk can probably fight until like 40. So can Lomachenko.
      Usyk has been taking breaks in his last couple of fights, he's gotten away with it, but many more miles on the clock and one of the younger guys is going to notice that and take advantage of it.

      Usyk is only slightly younger than Klitschko was when he started looking human against Jennings. And he doesn't have a division where he can defend against extremely limited guys like Wlad and Vitali did in their late 30s.

        Usyk -Parker is a great idea.

          Retire and go fight Russians.

          On a serious note, and only if he wants to continue, the wishlist will depend on who's on a winning streak/in-form. But in reality, it will be dictated by the many belts he will hold.

            Retirement. Nothing left to prove at 37

              Don’t need to worry about Usyk winning. Fury is going to put a beating on him.

                Usyk isn't ******, at heavyweight he knows all it takes is one miss-step and you get cleaned out, why would he risk it?
                But if he does fight, then I'd prefer Parker. His stock is hot now and def one of the top guys at hw. What it would be after a Fury match and a rematch, I can't say.

                And maybe Jai will be burning through hw by then. That would, at worst for Usyk, still be a torch passing from one cw to another.

                    If he beats Fury, he should retire while he is at the pinnacle of the sport. I think he has a good chance of winning

                      i don’t think usyk is walking with this kind of mindset. He’s all about winning or finding ways to win.

                      but your right logical choice is retirement. What else is there. Retire on top with a perfect record.
