Comments Thread For: Fury Promoter: Perhaps We Should Be Thankful To Wilder For Forcing The Trilogy

[OldTerry]

Facts. The media is trying to shove down our throats that this was one of the greatest boxing matches of all time. It wasn't. Also no one asked for this. So yea, Fury x Aj is what everyone wanted.

Fury fighting Wilder and Usyk fighting Joshua produced what is best for boxing. We now have the two best heavyweights as champions and a potential for a unification bout. We also have the potential for a fight between the two losers which has long been the fight I prefer to see.

Fury has that one fight left on his contract, but I will assume he'd still want that fight with Joshua to happen. Problem is, if Joshua beats Usyk, there will be trilogy between those two thus holding up an undisputed match even longer. Then there is Whyte who is the mandatory to Fury's WBC belt and will want his shot if he gets through Wallin. Hopefully if things play out for us fans, we can see Joshua win the rematch, Usyk wait for his trilogy fight, Whyte takes step aside money and we get Fury-Joshua for all the marbles late in 2022. Wishful thinking and I don't believe for once second it plays out that way HAHA.

We neede a Fury v Usyk, Joshua v Wilder double bill. If only....

Perhaps he should be thankful to that farmer that Fury bribed and threatened to hide his PED use.

A Joshua Usyk trilogy?? When both have expressed they want undesputed next. What you smokin!?
Your just ducking for Aj already.
Usyk was setting simple traps for Aj the whole fight that he fell for every time but you were probably so fixated on rematch clauses muscles you couldn't see it & probably wouldn't even know what to look for.
Aj has never been what he was made out to be, just a prospect that bought the easy belts & then boxed shot past it old men & when he didn't he lost. 2 times!

A Fury/AJ fight would have been much more lucrative, but had he not fought Wilder again, he'd be accused of ducking him. Now he has sealed the trilogy and put any doubts to rest. If AJ wins his rematch with Usyk, there is still time to build up a lucrative fight with Fury for unification. If Usyk wins, we may still get a unification fight and hopefully an undisputed champion. It will be billed as a Davey vs. Goliath match if Usyk can defeat Joshua one more time. Good stuff ahead.

I'm with Frank.
Fantastic trilogy you have to go back to the 90s & Bowe Holyfield to find a better one. Probably top 5 in heavyweight trilogy history.
Meanwhile muscle mag fanboy's can't celebrate a great trilogy because they're not boxing fans & still harp on about Aj in a comment's section not about him.
Fury's number 1 & still undefeated while Ajs lost 2 out of 4 coincidentally when he wasn't fighting shot past it old men of the former generation(4 or 6) & still never boxed a top 2 heavyweight until he fight's Usyk again & is only relevant because of Rematchroom & Clauses.

So what you're saying is this. If Joshua wins the rematch, there is no way Usyk will want to fight him again? Because that makes complete sense. Sure....lets fight each other twice, IF it splits 1-1 we just say, "ok, good luck on your next fight, maybe we'll fight again someday" Yeaaaaa highly doubt that scenario happens if AJ wins. Furthermore, I have been one of the biggest AJ detractors his entire career. More to the point, I think he sucks. But a Fury-AJ fight has more hype behind it then a Fury-Usyk fight. Lastly to suggest I couldn't or didn't see Usyk trapping, baiting AJ is pure non sense. Did you just throw that in there to make your post seem like it holds more merit? Been watching the sport since 1987 my dude. I'd bet that you weren't even alive yet.

Fury/Wilder 3 was good for the sport, but an undisputed showdown between Fury and AJ would have been even better!

On the other hand, we got two exciting and entertaining HW title fights instead of just the one. Swings and roundabouts, I guess.

There won't be a rematch clause for the Usyk/AJ rematch, so if AJ wins he can fight whoever he likes afterwards, irrespective of what Usyk wants.
