This, nothing to prove at heavyweight anymore. Leave while your brain and body are intact, he has no business there as it is.

I don't mind him going down to 190 again and having a go, at least for him to feel it out and see if he wants it or not? This isn't Roy or the early 00's, the science behind taking the right amount of time, getting down in weight properly etc it's lightyears ahead of where it was. Plus you have to factor in Usyk's team and their state of the art approach to training too.
He does have a little something to prove with a Dubois rematch

Usyk is definitely a special fighter. Fury came out focused and trying his tactics. But usyk was landing then sharp clean counters all night. He got some pop on his punches and his stamina is excellent.

I thought fury may have won an early round or 2 but afterwards usyk was just landing cleaner more effective punches. They had an effect on fury where you seen fury was trying different stuff as the fight went on.

I thought usyk probably could have stopped him later if he upped the pressure but it was probably wise to just play it cool and cruise to the victory. This was a competitive but clear usyk win to me 9-3, 8-4 type joint

Would love to see the dubois rematch and AJ and fury go at it in wembley for a final farewell.

I am one of the ones who thought dubois stopped usyk with that body shot. But usyk was complaining so much the ref played into it. Let's see it again. If usyk clears that one, it's really nothing left to prove at all. Ride out into the sunset.

His conditioning and punch rate is really consistent. He always ramps up as the fight goes on. Excellent career. Undisputed at cruiser, then go up to heavy and beat AJ and fury 2x each and undisputed there also is crazy. While been 20 plus pounds lighter than them, that's quality work.
