I didn’t care for Fury’s obnoxious act early in his career but I have grown to respect him a lot for his personal story of overcoming his internal demons to make a huge comeback in the ring. He has unexpected agility for a big man as well as excellent boxing skills. Who knows, maybe this retirement is a bargaining chip going into negotiations with Anthony Joshua. I still think we will see Fury vs Joshua this year.
first of all, sure. OK. Whatever. See you in 9 months. He needed attention, so yay for him.
As for Warren's assertion that Fury is the best British HW of this century, I'll make the argument that even in the twilight of his career, Lennox Lewis' 6-1(5) stacks up to Fury's entire career as far as quality wins. Lewis KO'd Grant (unbeaten consensus #1 guy at the time), Botha (still highly ranked), Rahman (avenging the lone blemish vs the Champ), and Tyson, whitewashed David Tua (consensus #1 guy), and stopped V. Klitschko on cuts (consensus #1 guy).
Fury's best wins all come against Wilder, and then older W. Klitschko in maybe the worst HW title fight of all time (apologies to Holyfield- Vaughn Bean) and.... big drop off to a shopworn Dillian Whyte?
Fury's had a fine career, and probably he'll get a win over a pretty washed AJ later this year to pad his resume, but Lennox's resume smashes Fury's, in my opinion.
that man owes me 2 hours of my life back for sitting through his fights with Holyfield and Moorer. drying paint would be offended by the comparison to Vaughn Bean.

He’ll be back in the Summer to clobber AJ, then retire again.
Let’s see if a big ole pile of pounds to fight you know who makes him rethink his retirement
