Its time for the lot of them to retire.

Usyk has nothing left to gain by fighting on

Fury and AJ, it's time to go, honestly I have no interest in the battle of the losers.

Wilder, get him out of here.

We had the lewis era, the Klitschko era, this has been the Usyk era.

The problem with Usyk is if he fights on he is 38 in Jan and he's getting close to the day he will catch an L simply through age.

If that happens (like it happened to Wlad against Fury and later AJ) it crowns a pretender on the throne. AJ and Fury only got legitimacy for beating a relic, not for beating their contemparies, and it was undeserved legitimacy.

It is better for boxing that Usyk doesn't hang on too long.

It's time for a new era but we need these guys to step aside now and stop taking all the big show spots, it's time for the royal rumble and see who emerges as the frontrunner for this new era.

We need to see fury vs usyk 3/4/5 before this is over

Nobody gives AF about Fury vs. Joshua. That fight has lost its appeal and should have happened 3-4 years ago.

11) More blubber was a dumb strategy

12) Fury was smart to avoid all top fighters for nearly 9 years. As soon as he stepped up to face an elite opponent he lost twice in a row.

Brits do. They loved Khan vs Brook too.

That’s a pretty asinine lol. The whole HW division is a joke.

To summarize the rest:

1) Won the title in an awful borefest against the statue of Wladimir Klitschko.
2) Was almost knocked out - twice - by a well-defeated Deontay Wilder.
3) Looked like sheit against Ngannou (and Otto Wallin, for that matter).
4) Was knocked down hard by Steve Cunningham, lest we forget.

This is the resume in pills of a fighter who, until a while ago, was considered by someone the greatest HW who ever lived

We have a Russian Heavyweight champion again. Ahh back the days of Vitali and Wladdy ruling the Heavyweights again.
