Comments Thread For: Hearn: Fury is The Best Heavyweight on The Planet, I Didn't Think He'd KO Whyte and He Did

[removed]

To be fair, a lot of that clinging to 20th century British nationalism is why a lot of UK fans are glossing over and fawning over a guy who served a two-year retroactive suspension for using a PED (which he’s never convincingly explained), made ****phobic and misogynistic remarks (which he’s never truly apologized for) and publicly bragged about his friendship with someone who now has a $5 million bounty on his head for being a suspected international crime boss (which Fury has still yet to genuinely address).
Yet these same “fans” come on here and mock and deride a former heavyweight champ like Wilder - who has none of the shameful baggage Fury carries.

No shameful baggage? Didn't Wilder get arrested and charged with domestic battery?

Nobody cares about that or Fury's personal life, people are fawning because of Tyson's achievements in the ring.

What gets me is how Fury isn't the pride of the UK. They bad mouth him worse than most of his other detractors, maybe not as bad as 1 hour, but he gets little respect from home.

Think we saw England specifically finally adopt Fury via his **** of Whyte. A long overdue coronation. Front runners yeah - but guy deserves it. Defining big man of this era. And for all the cringe things Fury has said in the past and his suspect associations - I’ve got 2 words for you: Mike Tyson

You mean if you’re fighter was offered $100 mil and the offer was turned down once it was reviewed by your management because it was bogus.

There was nothing bogus about DAZN's offer to Wilder, except for Wilder's explanation of why he turned it down, which changed every time he spoke about it.

Other than the company rescinded all the big deals it gave major fighters halfway through the deals.

Or did you forget that?

Seriously, you can’t be credible and continue to argue Wilder should’ve taken that deal knowing everything that happened.

I get posters hate PBC, Haymon and will criticize them no matter what. Seeing as none of us saw the complete contract and Haymon has a proven track record doing $100 mil deals in various entertainment spaces, maybe he knew what he was doing.

And the best decision for Tyson Fury was not signing with Eddie Hearn.

Eddie seems to have problems getting big fights over the line a lot of the time.

Fury v Wilder 1 never happens if Fury is with Hearn, I’m sure of that.

Let's not forget that it was Wilder's team who refuses to negotiate with Eddie, not the other way round.

Let's also not forget that Eddie put together a deal for a unification fight between Fury and AJ which was accepted by both guys. It was Bob Arum's handling of the rematch of a rematch clause with Wilder that fucked everything up.

[The D3vil]

Wow, it's about time that Eddie gave up the ghost and just admitted the truth that we all knew.

He realizes that that AJ scam he's been running is in jeopardy of finally being over and is trying a "charm offensive" now.

Maybe Fury will take pity on AJ/Hearn and give them a $100 million pay day.

Let me get this straight ... are really saying that the rewriting of DAZN contracts caused by Covid restrictions was the reason why Wilder turned down a contract offered to him 18 months earlier, before anybody even knew the virus existed?

[VislorTurlough]

The Matchroom paid incels slowly returning to forum with more BS narratives. Wilder! Wilder! Wilder! Deflect and deny. We have all the old receipts and all the BS that was said about punchdrunk non contender Whyte who turned in the most pathetic HW title performance since Bruce Seldon.

[DaNeutral.]

Timeline of Dillian Whyte's career:





Whyte getting KO'd on an uppercut was the most predictable result ever. Anyone who didn't see it coming either didn't watch his previous fights or simply doesn't know **** about boxing.

That Povetkin one is still my favourite.
