Comments Thread For: Fury: I Tried To Make Joshua Fight Six Times, He's a Diva Who Doesn't Want To Fight

Nah he can't boast about Josh losing when he's not beat the guys Josh lost to. If fury isn't beating ruiz or usy k he has to beat josh

He doesn't have too. AJ's biggest win is a guy Fury beat years earlier and made it look easy, while AJ went life or death with an even older version. Fury has had his hands on every single HW title. Not saying I don't want to see him fight on, but he doesn't really have too. Like it or not those are facts and he is indeed gonna be inducted to the hall of fame.

It’s funny seeing how there are still grown ass men who are Anthony Joshua apologists and groupies. Sh** is weird.

At no point did AJ duck Fury. Fury did however duck AJ twice. The facts stand up. Fury's lies do not. The evidence is all there.

AJ doesn't behave like a diva either. Fury does nothing but.

Fury's insecurities and bitterness towards AJ can't be hidden. Fury isn't smart enough to hide it.

What a sad and pathetic individual he really is. This isn't trash talk, it's the aim to defame and discredit him. I have no respect for that. I'm actually ashamed he's British.

……
The facts remain that AJ got beat by a short pudgy gatekeeper and also got outboxed and outfoxed by a blown up Cruiserweight.
THOSE ARE FACTS. Period.
And if AJ and Fury were to fight, Fury Will KO your boy AJ in under 9 rounds.

So, how exactly will you make your claim that Fury ducked AJ if he destroys him?

Fury isn't undefeated. He was dominated 9-1 in rounds in the first McDermott fight. You can't miss it either. Fury didn't compete or make the rounds close for people to delude themselves.

Assuming you are right, Officially remains undefeated. Period.

Why couldn’t McDermott replicate his “win” over Fury?
That argument is similar to the guys that claim Floyd lost to Castillo and Maidana. He rematched them both and beat them soundly.
Bad decisions happen in boxing all the time. They either get corrected through rematches or we tend to ignore them and move forward.
We’ve all moved away from the dubious win Tito got over Oscar. Oscar had the better career.

Fury is right, the Joshua fight has lost it's importance because AJ was just not good enough to stay undefeated. Fury has held his end, destroying Wilder 3 times making himself a superstar in the states and the UK. He has accomplished it all, I'll miss the guy but I get why he'll only fight if he is paid the big bucks. He's must see tv like it or not. If he chooses to stay retired, he's a first ballot hall of famer. Unbeaten, held every HW strap there is.

What good is Fury’s so-called “superstar status” in the US if he cant even get into the United States? Right now watching him continue to try in vain to board flights to the US is like Wile E. Coyote keep failing to catch the Roadrunner.

Fury hasn't retired, 'Retired' just means, 'I won't fight unless you pay a shedload of gelt'. IF Joshua beats Usyk & I'm not at all convinced he can, Joshua will fight Fury. Joshua has to take the blame because when he was champion he & his team played silly Bulgars messing both Deontay & Fury about, until they realised they could do a lot better by fighting each other & letting AJ go hang. (& btw AJ, a black racist is not better than a white racist, thick, ignorant bigots are thick, ignorant bigots, regardless of their hair & complexion.)

Be Fair
It goes both ways
There's no AJ Groupies without Fury Fanatics
FACTS!

The Matchroom Incels here are the single most bizarre fan club in boxing. Every loss by Joshua and Whyte - they come back saltier and more in denial. It’s weird man. Wilder fans showed humility here. Lost 2x to a better fighter. Why can’t they show same sportsmanship?

Coming from a guy whos on his second retirement at the grand old age of 33.

[Earl-Hickey]

This situation is a lot more nuanced than most make out.


Fury was actually offered a 3 fight deal by hearn for I belive it was a tune up then Whyte and AJ. We don't know the details of this contract so it's hard to make a judgement but fury decided to go another way.

Fury then does AJ a huge favour by getting rid of Wilder, but AJ can't hold up his end and keeps losing.

So on one hand AJ has never ducked fury from what I've seen but it is his fault the fight hasn't happened because he keeps losing.

I don't belive fury has any real beef with AJ he's just trying to keep the fight commercially viable.
