Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury Has No Interest In Fighting Contenders, Strictly Fighting For The Biggest Bank

[Toffee]

Fury is playing all of us. He's a fighter from a family of fighters. I believe he's not worried about the risk at all. Everyone expects him to fight Usyk, because he beat Joshua and has all of the belts, so Fury insults him publicly and calls him out. They negotiate, but the fight doesn't materialize. He also tickled our fancy by saying how big a fight between him and Joshua would be, as they are both big British names. Then those negotiations fizzle. So now, he's fighting a retired MMA fighter with a big punch, but zero pro boxing matches. Now, the fans are good and pissed. "Asshole, pussy, fake champion!", we scream. Then if as you say, his next fight is against Usyk, we'll line up and pay him the biggest purse of his career for the undisputed HW championship of the world. This guy's a fucking genius!

He's not the unpredictable genius people seem to think he is.

He's entirely predictable.

If he's forced to do something, he tries to get out of it.
if he doesn't have to do something, then he'll pick the absolute lowest risk option (list them... Schwarz, Wallin, Chisora).

But once, or twice. Every single time.

For him to fight Usyk or Joshua would be massively out of character. Why take the risk when there are plenty of tomato cans or non-boxers out there who will jump at the chance to make big money against Fury.

He's 35. How is this still a surprise to anyone?

WBC are entirely responsible.

Tyson Fury is the guy who goes into the ring with people who could seriously damage his health. I don't have any great issue with him doing what he's doing. It's absolutely his right to decide what he fights for.

I just think it makes him a terrible champion. And if he is lineal then that's a real shame for the sport generally.

But the WBC are the ones who have given the go ahead for him to fight not just someone outside the rankings, but someone who isn't even a boxer

They're the ones that haven't been able to come up with a mandatory and ran that farce of an ordered fight between two contenders.

It's the WBC that keep him as their champion.

Blame them.

The WBC are complicit but ultimately Fury made the decision therefore he's responsible for the circus. Furthermore, Fury can fight for whatever he wants but that does not make him immune from criticism. Also, Fury doesn't have to box this is his career choice just like the thousands of professionals and amateurs who do it for a pittance. I blame the lineal heavyweight champion who's called out everyone but has an excuse for everyone.

Yes. people act like he is some man who likes risky fights because he fought Klitschko and Wilder 3 times. the opposite.

I didn't say he's unpredictable, but if he does fight Usyk and we all pay top dollar for it, I'd say he's no idiot. I can't see Fury skipping out on an opportunity to become undisputed against a pumped up CW who couldn't drop Joshua. Especially after seeing a marginal contender drop Oleksandr with a border line body shot.

Fury’s fought 2 real top 10 contenders since Klitchko the entire time wheather he’s from a fighting family or not that’s a fact . He’s going to offer Usyk less then 30% this time unless he is getting paid more separately of a guaranteed amount from Saudi that he still needs to be reasonable and a duck out of this fight again is always there for him when Warren claims theres not enough money for him like last time which tells me based on his actions he won’t fight Usyk at all and Hrgovic may beat Usyk which is his get out of jail free card .

Fury’s playing someone alright and it’s himself ,he’s already ruined his reputation , Usyk has defeated him without laying a glove on him , he doesn’t care if he’s liked I know he’s made that clear fir years and insults them look how he treats his own fans and they’re so dumb they love it just look at the ones on this forum who still try and defend him ,is that genius ? Well no that’s just pure luck he’s in an era of dumbed down generation of sports fans who like to be entertained not ones who like purity of boxing ,a bunch of dummies on here is just a small portion the man literally has millions of idiots following him while he cons them . Lol

Guess we'll have to wait and see how this plays out. I hope you're wrong, because it's terrible for boxing if you're right.
