Here is a guy whose expectation of what he could achieve were near 0 when it came to the heavyweight division, so whatever he did accomplish even if it were just winning a single belt or beating a single top contender it would be touted as a big win for someone like him. He punched above his weight figuratively and literally, unifying and becoming undisputed cruiserweight champ already put him in the annals of boxing history among the greats, but moving to heavyweight and defeating AJ twice and then Fury, unifying all the belts, and becoming the first undisputed champ in over 2 decades has shot him up into the stratosphere. He quite literally has nothing else to prove, no other belts to get, no other serious top contender to beat, he has done it all.
At 37, Usyk is certainly not unbeatable, and with every following fight that he should have he increase his chances of losing exponentially, but money talks, and it's hard to turn down 50+ million dollars for a 48 minute fight. However, money won't substitute greatness. If Usyk retires now, undefeated, undisputed, and sets off into the sunset with all of the accolades that he has achieved he will go down as one of the biggest legends in boxing lore.
