    Would be lovely if they all retired on the same day. Including punch drunk paper champs Wilder and Joshua

      Why are all these writers saying that Usyk is showing signs of aging? I saw no signs of aging. I’m not naive, I know there will be signs of aging soon enough, but that was his best performance ever IMO.

        It's completely their choice. I'm sure they'll consider legacy, money and their respective families, not necessarily in that order.

          Usyk should fight for as long as he wants to fight. And if he gets beaten, so be it. He should fight the winner of Parker and Dubois next and after that he can have his pick of Bakole, Zhang, Ajagba, Kabayel, etc. Or if he wants a stay-busy fight he can go take that Regular trinket away from old man Pulev. Usyk has earned a soft touch fight if he wants one.

            They are both at the point where they can command big purses for their next fights. Especially Usyk.

            They’d be leaving a lot of money on the table if they walk away.

                Interesting thing that Teddy Atlas said, that there's a six months window or so for Moses Itauma to become the youngest heavyweight champion ever.

                Of course, won't happen, he's only had eleven fights and I don't think he's ranked in the top ten.

                He's still quite inexperienced. I'll say this though, he has more natural talent than Dubois and AJ, and he's more powerful than Usyk and Fury. This is, in terms of raw potential and gifts.

                  Imagine calling the bottom 2 bums and being excited to see Wilder in with Usyk.

                    If usyk retires unbeaten, he still won't be considered as great as Ali. So by my maths he needs a few more names, or bakole, zhang, parker
