+ 2 Boxing politics once again huh? We are the suckers
ad
Well well well @Bill1976 here we go again with the politics of boxing. This is getting rediculous man. It's pure and simple..the BEST AREN'T FIGHTING THE BEST...PERIOD! Us pure boxing fans were supposed to have already seen Crawford vs. Spence along with many other top fights, now Usyk and Fury fight fell out. It's crazy man. I understand money plays a part but what about legacy? Even Roy Jones said nowadays this a a big problem. Back in the 80's and 90's the best fought the best regardless and the promoters didn't get in the way of that, hell in fact they encouraged it.

Yea def a what could’ve been story
Last thing. Something has to be said about the KO power of Wilder. Arguably some say #1 KO power of all time. Tyson was impressed
I know I 100% sound like a typical fan boy but that's just the reality of the situation. He's a straight what if just like Bo Jackson is a what if.
And deep down inside I'm sure he knows that. That's gotta be a hard pill for him to swallow. He's a boxing historian who always talked about the greats and wanted to be the greatest. It bothers him definitely I bet. Hell he cries when Cus name is mentioned
It looks like Fury is only accepting opponents he knows he can beat or has already beaten. Altboygh though he’s never fought Joshua, it would be wise for him to have one of these names on his resume before he retires. Usyk is a no nonsense fighter and maybe just maybe Fury knows there’s no way he can get in his head or physically intimidate him so he’s absolutely avoiding this at all costs.
True. In reality if Fury is on top of his game he can beat Usyk. No easy fight though.
I can’t believe there are still some who will sit through a whole boxing match. Youtube king of the streets thats where the excitements is now
You can't sit through a whole boxing match cause you too damn busy chatting with all of our ole ladies you hollywood looking gigalo lol
You right. I much rather make a movie then watch a movie. Hope everything is going good for ya.
It's going well as long as you don't involve my ole lady in ya movie! Ole no good womanizing Wanted lol. Hope all is good.
Yeah, Fury is being a douche bag. He doesn’t want to take the risk of losing that belt, so he keeps dicking him around. I’m guessing that he isn’t confident that he will beat him, or he is simply waiting for the promotion to increase the purse. They could all be involved in this, because they may feel the fight wasn’t getting enough hype. I guess we’ll see. Here’s a pretty good article about it:
https://www.cbssports.com/boxing/news/tyson-fury-vs-oleksandr-usyk-fight...
Yep looks like he's not sure of himself winning. I just don't understand why he had to make a big scene and lie about the situation blaming everything on Usyk. I mean think about it..Usyk has 3 belts and Fury has only one belt and you offer him only 30% of the fight purse? Cmon Fury you know better than that!
Slightly off subject, but that Joshua fight last night was painful. Time to hang the gloves up I think…..
Meanwhile Roy Jones loses again. He needs to just STOP
Agreed. At his age, why do it? Nothing to prove, top man is his day.
I didn’t even watch it. Overated
Wise man. I’d describe it as a waste of electricity…..
Want to see some good boxing. Watch old fights from the 50s 60s and 70s and old Mike Tyson fights. Fury is very very gifted and I wish he would fight for undisputed. It’s a money maker
The older fights were so much better. Bizarrely just yesterday I was watching some old vintage Mike Tyson including the “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth” line.
Yeah I always said Joshua was somewhat overrated. Good point
I’m a fury fan but he’s ducking. I’m losing respect for him. I was bery disappointed
Yep I think anyone that knows boxing is saying the same thing. I'm a Fury fan too but truth is truth. But Fury had the nerve to make a video about Usyk being a coward and how it's his fault, trying to basically put a spin on the situation. Hell just tell the truth
Uysk did pull the plug not fury sooo
Yeah I agree for a good reason
That’s your opinion.
Yea I have an opinion just like you have one my man. Just like the rest of the members on this post.
I don’t see why he’s ducking. He can beat him but facts are facts he is ducking. I so wanted to see an undisputed.
Usyk too small for Fury, he can't beat him. The real fight would be Joe Joyce vs. Fury.
Yea I think he can beat Usyk too so that's what I'm not understanding. Then again that dude has been diagnosed with mental issues. Now because of this stunt I'd rather see Usyk fight Wilder.
That would be a good fight
Wilder's only chance would be a KO. Wilder cannot out box Usyk.
Terrible fight
Who do you think would win?
Honestly wilder. Only way to beat wilder is by putting him on back foot and only joe Joyce/ Tyson can do that
Yeah it would. Technique vs no Technique but POWER.
It saddens me to say this, but from the outside looks like Fury is ducking Usyk. He has openly said tge toughest fight he ever had was Cunningham, who’s comparatively small and quick, a lot like Usyk in basic style. Shame, but that’s heavyweight boxing, never been transparent.
Yep that's exactly what I told my buddy. Fury is ducking Usyk for sure. I agree with Usyk for walking away from the negotiations with him. First off he was given a 70/30 split of the total money which he agreed to but didn't like, then Fury tells him that if he ( Fury) loses that in the rematch there will be a 50/50 split of the money. Now anyone who knows boxing knows that the winner gets more money in the rematch. That tells me that Fury never wanted that fight. Also, I think the Saudi's are giving Usyk more money to fight over there. In fact he may be fighting Wilder according to Wilder.
