Comments Thread For: Andre Ward Wants To See Tyson Fury Defend Title, Then Consider Jones or Ngannou

Fighting the best MMA guys would be better than fighting Whyte or Chisora or a no namer boxer.

Then he should fight MMA fighters under MMA rules. Either he is a boxer or he isn't.

I don't even understand why Fury is ducking Usyk.

He is ducking a guy he has every advantage against.

And I mean every advantage, including skill, stamina, and speed.

Granted Usyk is a great fighter but a great bigger man always beats a great smaller man.

We saw a clear example of this in the Mikey vs Spence fight.

Mikey was top 5 p4p fighter at the time and Spence was not in the ppv rankings but Spence made him look like a top 50 fighter.

I think it would be the same here.

Usyk wasn't a puncher at cruiserweight and he aint no puncher at heavyweight. Fury walked through and got up from Wilder'a punches, Usyk is nothing in comparison.

Fury bullied Wilder with his weight advantage, but I'm pretty sure Wilder is stronger than Usyk.

Usyk is way more skilled than Wilder yes, but Fury is still the more skilled fighter Imo.

This guy is gonna regret this decision for the rest of his life.

This is big big fight that I believe he can win in spectacular fashion.

Fury isn't fighting Usyk because he doesn't believe he can defeat him. You possibly are 100% correct, but Fury has serious doubts.

There are a few contenders for him to fight. I just think Frank Warren is careful whom they offer a fight too.

They don't want to choose a guy like Frank Sanchez who could make Fury look bad.

For the record, I still rate Tyson as the top heavyweight, but yeah, the online smack talk doesn't help negotiations of fights.
