      @Bobby Knuckles I think Usyk is the top of the current crop tbf, may just be a bit small for Fury, but certainly at least as skilled and in better shape. But Fury goes a lot of grab and lean so it will be tough for a much smaller Usyk. But that is the fight we should be talking about.

    Then his 3 fights against Wilder the most over protected champ in history.
    Now finally a real proper tough test. Of Tyson beats Dillian which I doubt, he will go along way to cementing his legacy.
    He still needs to fight Joshua as well and maybe one or two other fights before calling it quits to he considered he's tof his era.
