Wilder is a lot of things, but he damn sure ain't boring. He's entertaining to watch whether you like the guy or not. Fury is boring, but considering all the attention, and support he gets, and the interest in him, and what he does there's no reason whatsoever for him to retire either.

You'll not find a bigger Fury hater than me, but even I ain't calling for his retirement. He's still at the top of his game, and still has a lot to prove and big bucks to make.

Whether or not I personally or you personally think he's boring is irrelevant. He packs 'em in, and draws a crowd, and has legitimately earned his place as at the very least one of the Top 3 guys in the Heavyweight division at the moment. So his place in the sport is well established.

Also he still has a tenuous grasp on being "Lineal Heavyweight Champion" whatever that's worth to you.

I agree with all except Fury is boring. I enjoy watching Fury's style of slipping and sliding; firing and holding...it's fun for me to watch him at work. I can see it being boring to some, but I'm surprised you feel that way. He's effective and that's what I appreciate watching.

Other than the Wlad fight, Fury isn't usually boring. Maybe, he had to make that fight boring to win so who can blame him?
Fury has a nice jab, can work the body, and I like the way he switches from orthodox to southpaw. He has a screw or two loose but he pretty much admits that. Not great power, but I look forward to his fights.
