I'll never knock the champion for trying to fight the best.:yeshrug:

At this point, Wilder doesn't seem like the reason the fights don't get made. Gotta press Joshua and fury.

I know it’s not his fault but he needs to stop pressing and let it come to home just do what he can and knock out more guys

I figured this would happen. Althought Fury outboxed the hell out of Deontay, it takes a lot to stay on point like that for 12 rounds against a puncher like that. He was knocked down twice, something he isn't accustomed to.

This nygga Demon Brazil has been waiting for a shot since 2017.:mjlol:

Here's a good question. What's the longest that someone has been a mandatory?

Alvarez was the mandatory for Stevenson since 2015. Shyt is crazy.

I can understand Fury not taking the rematch right away. Dude boxed the fight of his life against a dude people thought was going to knock him out and he got robbed.

Now that whole ordeal elevated him into getting that ESPN deal. We in the era where nikkas is stretching out super fights so one interim fight before the match ups we all want is okay. And if we gon say Fury ducking Wilder, you can also make the point that Wilder is ducking Breazeale.

Both nikkas on PBC and already have a storyline, that fight should have been happened or at least happen this year.

Yeah Stevenson my dude, but I don't think he ever wanted that Alvarez fade like that, which is crazy cuz I'd pick Superman to beat him.

This Fury vs Wilder mess reminds me a bit of the Stevenson vs Kovalev situation except that I think if none of them loses before they actually gonna meet (again).

It was a bit different cause HBO built both of them while Fury only had 1 fight on Showtime but the situation is still very similar. Big fight crossed because of sudden change in promoter/network for one fighter.

I view this as unfortunate turn of events which are part of boxing and can happen sometimes, not x's or y's fault.
Just like I used to think it wasn't Stevenson ducking Kovalev (maybe that too but idk...) but rather him taking a bigger money deal and just like I never blamed Haymon for signing a top fighter when the opportunity was there I also think Fury is just making a business decision now and that it's absurd blaming Arum for signing a top HW. Blaming Top Rank for this is like you would expect them to fall back and watch others play it out in the HW division. Especially now that HW became a lucrative division again it was important to them to enter the picture somehow, they only had Rivas, Jennings and Pulev... So the opportunity came and they signed Fury.

Should they just say "Let DAZN and PBC play this out between themselves, why join the picture?"? What's next, should they send money bags to PBC?
Y'all can't be this naive :pachaha:

This way they suddenly have a good chance that they can host a big HW fight in the near future unlike before they signed Fury.

That’s a great question. We all kinda knew Bob would come and fukk it up, and Fury obliged. Shameless plug but, was it a duck by Fury?

Call what it is..Fury is pretty much ducking Wilder right now..kind of surprised he would. When Roy and Floyd had controversial first fights, they ran it back.


After such a lucrative contract, Wilder is too much of a dangerous opponent to fight this early (into the contract). They are going to pick soft targets before going down that road again. Shame because the business side of boxing is depriving fans from seeing the fights that need to be made.

Really you gone type out and read to yourself that somebody ducked Boobs Breazale stop the nonsense he fought Ortiz and Fury borg better fighters. Ducking is acceptable because there are plenty that think like you.

duh, just fukking get over what Ward said, can't believe how many people are in their feeling over that shyt.

Ward is an ATG who did a lot more in his 32 fights than Wilder did in his 41 and counting, he is a certified HOF and imo an ATG too, let him have his fukking opinion on a boxing related topic without whining about it for months. You don't have to agree with it but this crying over it is ridiculous. :hhh:
