Comments Thread For: Arum on Fury-Wilder 3: We're Finishing Paperwork For July 24; Hopefully Done Today

[davefromvancouv]

omg - u just didnt compare Ali’s 10 title defenses to Wilder’s pathetic defenses against tomato cans which included names like Molina, Spilka, Duhaupas, AJ ko victim Breazele, Washington, a fat washed up Stiverne and geriatric overrated Cuban senior citizen(best legit opponent in his entire protected weak azz career)...thats pathetic and outright embarrassing!! Easy to have the highest ko ratio when ur record is filled with bum after bum!!no great feat in that.

Ortiz overrated? Or avoided? Ortiz was supposed to fight Joshua 4 years ago, but was sidestepped for Klitschko, then bypassed for Pulev (who pulled out) then Takam. Whyte still refuses to fight Ortiz and Fury said that Ortiz is high risk for little reward. Wilder fought him twice...

Compare what Wilder did to Breazeale to what Joshua did. No comparison...

Klitschko tried to do the exact same thing Fury JUST tried to do to avoid Wilder: pay him step aside money to fight Stiverne for undisputed. Wilder said no, fight me when I beat Stiverne. Klitschko fought Fury instead and lost.

Wilder saw how Fury successfully avoided the Klitschko rematch (Klitschko probably would have beat Fury) and said nah, honor the contract!

Wilder-Fury 3 is set for July 24th. Fury is going to get smoked!

Lmao!! A fighter(Fury) fights another fighter(Wilder) twice and beats him twice in the eyes of MOST boxing insider/media and now that fighter is “avoiding” another fight with the same fighter he just manhandled and beatdown? Nice logic Bro ...really makes alot of sense!

Makes no sense to do what he did, unless he believes he can't do it again...

For whatever reason he absolutely avoided the trilogy. You've heard all the news - a judge has ordered him to fight Wilder or get sued.

Fury and Wilder have now spent 15 months out of the ring over this. You can blame the pandemic but others have managed to fight.

If Fury had fought at the end of 2020, then he would have lost some money at the gate but would be comfortably making that back by having an undisputed fight in August.

As it is he's:

• Inactive as a boxer for 15 months
• Hasn't earned in 15 months
• Still only has the lower interest fight ahead of him
• May never get the big money fight he was close to

In the meantime his rival got out in December and handled a mandatory.

It's not been a smart move by Team Fury. In fact it's been so bad that maybe Fury sues his promoters?

So the same goes for Wilder...hes the one who got injured, went into seclusion, fired his trainer...he delayed the fight as well. Cant blame Fury for going after the biggest fight and $ out there in fight with AJ. Obviously Arum/Top Rank thought they had a good case in the contract expiring or they would have not agreed to arbitration. All that had nothing to do with Fury.

Wilder has lost 15 months too. The difference being that the fight he lost was a comeback against some no hoper. Ultimately he's got his rematch - the biggest fight he could possibly hope for and will likely get a gate also.

Joshua didn't get his undisputed fight but he's the only one of the three still active.

The decisions left Fury completely inactive. Which is why I'm struggling with the idea that anyone but Fury lost out here. Albeit, he had a guaranteed big fight off the back of the arbitration ruling regardless of the outcome. But he had those fights available to him anyway - he had two contracts in front of him (one already signed!).
