Should I declare variables in the class, if the class has only a constructor?

Let's say I have a class:

public class Foo {
    private int x;
    private int y;
    public Foo(int x, int y) {
        this.x = x;
        this.y = y;
        /**
         * here comes a lot of code within this constructor
         * that uses these x and y variables.
         */
    }
}

I understand, that if I had some other methods in this class that would use the x and y variables, I should have copied the constructor's arguments into the fields like I did above, but what if I don't have any other methods but only the constructor? Should I still create the fields or my class should look like this:

public class Foo {
    public Foo(int x, int y) {
        /**
         * here comes a lot of code within this constructor
         * that uses these x and y variables.
         */
    }
}

What is the right style?
