    Fury said that he would smash the midget if they ever fought but ran away from the match with his negotiations. There is no other fight out there as big as this for him. He might want to fight the damage goods in AJ or some MMA fighter.

      - - Well established that Ali ducked the lucrative($5mil each) Indonesian Foreman rematch to get beat up by Chuck Wepner in Podunk Ohio for 1/3rd of that.

        He knows Usyk might be his nemesis, so yelling at the clouds is what he got left... Oh well...

            It wouldn't be an easy fight for him and he knows it. He can make as much money, or more, fighting guys he is more confident of beating than Usyk.

              Usyk is the one who dropped out of negotiations. It goes both ways. He was offered a better split than he got against AJ.

                If Usyk beats Wilder, there's zero chance of Fury taking the fight. He's already ducking. If Usyk gets through Dubois, Hrgovic, Joyce, and Wilder, not only will he be seen as more of a threat, he'll also likely start looking like the A-side.

                This is such a ****** line. He was a mandatory with no belts against AJ. Now he's the unified champion. World of difference between those situations.

                    Ali had ZERO interest in a rematch with Forman, regardless of the terms.
