They should have just had the trilogy in December last year and been done with it.

Hopefully both AJ vs Usyk and Fury vs Wilder can be had in August that way we get the match up of the winners in December.

Usyk can't beat AJ so I'm not worried about that. Wilder been making a lot of excuses so he better prove the doubters wrong. He has to win after all this

Yup the non glory divisions- 140,154,168 and Cruiser a couple years ago have no problem with any political issues. When it comes to 147, Heavyweight even 135 there’s always a hold up. shyt 160 could have realistically been fully unified early last year.

only problems if there is star power

remember when the 140 division had Hatton, Cotto, Gatti, Mayweather, Vivian Harris, etc

It’s pretty amazing Floyd got the Gatti fight.

Problem is, every guy who fights at 140 this day and age rather get the money at 147 for a huge “payday”though they Are beer staying at 140. Broner isn’t a true welterweight but he could have solidified himself as a great 140 fighter instead of getting a fast track title against Paulie. Mikey decided to take the Spence fight since there was no fights worth staying at 140 for. Those fights at 140 during those days when big names stayed in the Division fighters or went up and down was better than 147. When’s the last time a 140 fight even main evented a PPV. Those non marquee/ non traditional divisions already have a rep of being one no one cares about, not sure when it happened but shyt sucks.

Probably one of those top rank Crawford ppvs

I don’t want any of these fights anything can happen and can screw up AJ Fury the same way Ruiz and Fury ruined AJ Wilder

For now... instead we will see Fury beating Wilder a third time :unimpressed: Boxing for you... nobody cares about that shyt aside of them lunatics who ate up the "glove gate".

Let's hope they get done with it quick while AJ fights Usyk so we can see this shyt at last.... :francis:

Despite winning the majority of the rounds, I suspect Fury doesn’t like a 3rd fight with Wilder, because of Wilder’s power. When you fight a guy like Wilder, you gotta be on point the entire fight.

That boy Tyson is a High level cherry picker. He knows what he’s doing .
And so is wilder....remember all that bullshyt trying to get him and Joshua to fight...and his struggle boxing ass went the Fury route instead because Fury looked ripe for the taking...and paid the price for it

Probability of fukkery might depend on how committed/motivated Fury is for a 3rd match
If he handles his business and dominates Wilder again this is ultimately a positive for him/TR cause I get the feeling the build up for this match is going to be huge with Wilder talking shyt and all the conspiracies and what not. Despite all the people saying they have no interest I wouldn't be surprised if it does the most numbers out of the 3 fights
Make lemonade out of lemons and make the eventual Fury vs. Joshua fight even bigger :manny:

Damn near everyone reported that the arbitration was for compensation for the 3rd fight not happening and had no bearing on making Fury/AJ. Why didn't these idiots just say that the Fury/AJ fight was contingent upon the arbitration case? :snoop:

Also, why did it even go to mediation/arbitration? Why didn't Wilder just take them to court? That's what Lennox did to Hasim Rahman after Rahman beat him and tried to move on without the rematch :jbhmm:
