Despite what Fury might say about legacy, I believe he cares about it more than he would lead you to believe. If he gets offered that Joshua fight with or without the belts, I think he'll take it.
As far as Fury is concerned, how would taking that fight and winning it improve his legacy?
Well if he beats more people he's only going to cement his legacy. I think walking away now is a bit of a cop out when there's still a good few fighters he hasn't fought. Usyk would probably be the trickiest for him but if he beats him and unifies all the belts that's another huge career milestone. He could then walk away and vacate having nothing else left to prove. With or without the belts the AJ match it still the fight Brits want to see. It would be even better with the belts though.
Btw, I think Dana let Conor have that boxing fight, because Conor advanced UFC to a next level, made it earn millions and billions. Ngannou so far is just a heavyweight that knocks out cold. Btw, Ngannou is not the most scary heavyweight in UFC, Derrick Lewis has 21 KO in his record. He is more dangerous right now
I think Ngannou is by far the biggest hitter in the UFC and he's surely got to be one of the biggest draws outside of McGregor as well so the cross promo fight with Fury makes a lot of sense to me. Maybe Ngannou should rematch the Derrick Lewis fight at some point as that was one of the worst UFC fighters ever with both fighters failing to commit. Hardly any punches were thrown let alone landed.
He would 100% take it. Both his dad and wife have said that he would within the last few days. He will care about legacy. What boxer doesn't? He's undefeated but with every fight you risk losing that status and once it's gone it's gone. There's going to be so much money on the line to fight Usyk and AJ that I'm sure it's a risk he's willing to take. I think he wins both fights though.
I think Fury wins both, and to be honest I'd like to see it just so we could settle the debate, as there are definitely those that believe Usyk is the better boxer, which he might be, but he has to prove it, beating Joshua who arguably isn't at his best, isn't saying a lot. I'm not saying that Joshua is a easy fight these days or he's past it, I just believe Ruiz really did dent his sort of invincible attitude.
I don't see Joshua beating Usyk on points, for me the only route to victory for him is either knock out or technical knock out, since I don't see him outboxing Usyk, just as I don't see him out boxing Fury. Whatever the result of the fight, I'd still like to see Fury fight both. Both come with their different problems, but Joshua can knockout anyone, and that is at least more exciting to me than the Usyk fight.
I agree. I want to see him fight Aj/Usyk (or both)) and then Ngannou. I think he wins them all. I don't think it's out of the question for AJ to win the belts back somehow but the odds are stacked against him. Hopefully he's working on changing his game plan for the rematch as he's going to have to do something different.
Here is a
SKYSPORTS report about Fury keeping his options open on returning the WWE.
Fuck wrestling. It's cringe AF. Doing stuff like that makes me disbelieve him when he says he doesn't care about money because he's only doing that for the money and he isn't going to agree to a storyline that he loses or makes him look bad.
