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.
    Usyk is vulnerable as hell, ref should have jumped in saved his ass 3-4 times that's how thoroughly fury was beating him before fury clowned his way to a broken nose.... Usyk does need to retire but money talks

    If I was his advisor since they want to play belt stripping games, id sit on the shelf allow all my belts to get dropped while enticing benavidez or canelo to move up..The boxing fan in me thinks those fights solidify Usyk in the history books..as a heavyweight champ tho next to the names of the greatest, nobody will ever believe it with how fury was kicking his ass lol, Usyk needs to play his cards right and write his own story from here

      He can go out on top and no one would think any less of him. He needs to fight legacy worthy opponents for as long as he remains active. No tune ups or money grabs. Either rematch Fury or fight Parker next.

        What’s he supposed to do work at Walmart? The man’s a fighter and he has a chance to earn big money.

            The longer Usyk fights the more he risks losing to a subpar fighter like a Whyte or Zhang. He almost lost to Dubois had that punch been an inch higher and the ref decided to call it a legitimate shot.

            If a subpar fighter beats Usyk, then his career will be tarnished by a nobody and the quality of his opponents that he did defeat will be called into question.

              I agree that Usyk is vulnerable and each following fight he risks losing to much inferior fighters than Fury and AJ. With that being said, I'd like to know where you buy your drugs if you think Fury was kicking his ass and the ref needed to step in.

                Even if he goes on to lose at some point, he is undisputed at two weight classes so he is already a legend.
                ​​​​​
                I enjoy watching him but he's had a long career with am and pro so if he calls it quits soon fairplay but I'd be surprised if the fury rematch doesn't happen.
