Comments Thread For: Dillian Whyte: Tyson Fury Always Runs From Dangerous Challenges

[Clegg]

There are things Whyte can be criticised for. But he makes a lot of good points here.

Fury deserves credit for facing Wlad and Wilder. But he avoided the Wlad rematch, delayed both Wilder rematches multiple times, lied to the fans about the AJ fight, delayed the McDermott rematch after winning the first fight via robbery, avoided the Price fight...

Not a Fury fan but boxing is a business as much as it's a sport.

You have to be smart with great boxing minds around you and do what's best for you. And that's one thing Fury has done throughout his career by being an opportunist and avoiding fights that are tricky. He's working smart and enjoying everything that comes with it especially with the fickle fans.

Whyte like AJ are two cannon folders for Teflon Hearn to enrich his family business and he could care less if they both end up brain damaged (I think one of them is going to be seriously hurt before they retire).

Don't blame Fury - blame yourself for being a modern day slave. Working smart is more rewarding than working hard and in as much as I can't stand Fury - that's something he has mastered.

I don’t agree with this. Fury has now faced wilder, one of the hardest punchers in boxing history anf a champion with 10 defences for the third time. He beat wlad while wlad was still on top of the division and beat him easily. Now the problem I have is that both of these men have a history of ped usage and both should be called out for it.

100% agree with Whyte - Fury’s even pulled out of a fight after weighing in when he got spooked by Ustinov after their head to head

meh, Fury faced Wlad in Germany, Wilder while still out of shape then again, you lost to Povetkin when you literally could have demanded the belt due to the Wilder legal battle, also I do think Tyson would have faced AJ had the judge not ruled in favour of Wilder 3. We will have to see what comes next, I don't think he wants Whyte as it's not really an event and he doesn't seem to care about belts in that Overlap interview so I can see him dropping the WBC should he beat Wilder. He says he has 3 fights left, 2 after Wilder, AJ is one for the money belts or no belts and Usyk makes sense as the other as of right now. I can see Usyk beating AJ, Fury beating Wilder then them 2 fighting for whichever belts aren't stripped off both then AJ gets a win and we get FuryAJ Old Trafford/Wembley as Furys final fight.

People forget how cowardly it looked at the time for the then B side Tyson Fury vacating the British title rather than fight the A side David Price

His uncle who he was very close to died you muppet.

Obviously Wilder and Wlad are dangerous challenges.

I do think its time for the winner of Fury/Wilder 3 to move on and face other top 10 ranked opponents though.

There was no money in the fight for whatever reason. It's a shame it never happened at the time it was a big fight, but I remember listening to David Price talking on some sports radio show saying that Fury had turned down £100,000. That's small potatoes money for a fight of that magnitude, a fight that had he lost, could have put him back years. If it was a few years later, when Eddie Hearn and his Dad's money came on the scene, then it would have happened. Nash out.

Whyte has beaten nobody! Parker was his biggest victory and Parkers level is as Chisora's ...11 losses there! and nobody knows who's gonna win their rematch! Didn't Whyte refuse to fight Joshua for the heavyweight titles ! Was that because Whyte may have thought it was a dangerous fight... this bloke talks bollocks.
Fury would play with him.
