Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury on Fights With Anthony Joshua, Oleksandr Usyk: 'I'm Not Optimistic'

Well if you keep offering 70-30 you might not get any fights

[Roberto Vasquez]

Let's remind ourselves : Fury has fought TWO top-10 Heavyweights in 7 years. Usyk and Joshua fight top-10 guys all the time.... Says it all.

Fury also has a loss to David Price. That was another fight he failed to make in the pros while calling Price "robotic" every chance he got. Hmm.. he also calls Joshua robotic while running in the opposite direction...

Fury also has a 2 year PED ban. Doesn't seem like something someone who is confident in their ability would do


BUT I have to give huge credit to him for taking on Ngannou in MMA. Fury has no experience in this sport at all! It is really a brave thing to do. Imagine if they were fighting a boxing match. He would have really looked like a coward then. Def the right move to make it MMA

More absolute garbage from the compulsive liar that he doesn't know why Usyk didn't take the fight!

[Marchegiano]

I don't think a fan on the planet is very optimistic either.

Hopefully this is just another one of his gypsy mind games. If he’s not going to fight Usyk after the UFC dude then he might as well retire instead of holding the belt hostage. He’s been talking about retirement for years and obviously doesn’t seem interested in Undisputed.

The Heavyweight of our generation? He’s had 4 fights there against 3 opponents.

2 were unranked, which he looked terrible in both and struggled with a bum in Chisora.

That’s the Heavyweight of our generation? No.

So if it's not Usyk. And Fury pretty much ticks the same boxes.

Who is it?

Unfortunately there isnt a clear no1 HW of this generation and probably wont be thanks to this diva BS. We will be left having to speculate and argue over it forever.

It’s really time to start ignoring this guy. The punishment he took from Wilder permanently messed with his head. When it’s just too doggone hard to make a fight with a guy literally half your size, it’s honestly time to change careers and devote the rest of your life to counting your money and being thankful you’re not a drooler.

Well….. in fairness, that’s kind of what he’s doing is it not?

How does Fury tick the same boxes?

Fury’s beat the #1 ranked Heavyweight on two separate occasions for a start.

Usyk has never done that once, and he’s only ever beaten 1 ranked fighter in general in HW.

if this guy doesn't fight a legit top boxer for his next fight, strip him and write him out of the boxing history books
