Comments Thread For: Offer will be made for 'huge' Tyson Fury-Anthony Joshua showdown

[VislorTurlough]

Looking forward to them all retiring together. Need new generation that will appeal to causals and help lift the sport.

It’s in that Mayweather-Pacquiao category now for me. I’d obviously still watch it but it’s so far from what it could’ve once been. I suspect it’ll be a massive occasion with a disappointing outcome.

What are you talking about. Fury and Joshua are n.2 and 3. at best.

Pacquiao and Mayweather were top welterweights and high ranked p4p fighters.

I'm sure Usyk and Dubois aren't already down on their scorecards at all...

Did you even read the article? Turki Alalshikh said whether win, lose or draw.

It’s the fight that he wants to make next. Neither Joshua or Fury has to win their next fight.

It’s a fight that he believes is still very marketable and could sell; Especially among British boxing fans.

If I were Dubois, I would be furious and ask myself if I could get a fair decision against AJ of the fight were to go the distance. It just seems Turkie is hell bent on putting money on fighters who have no desire to win because the money is already in the bank. What incentive does Fury have to train and give his best performance when he can already count the Saudi money in his bank account?

Is has become quite evident that Turkie is nothing but a fan who wants to see his (or should I say Warren, Hearn, and Brown’s) misguided fantasies come to fruition).

Now he talks about a boxing league. This Saudi sports whitewashing has a short future IMO. Turkie has given the keys to the chicken coup to 3 foxes who will do anything to fill their pockets with Saudi’s money knowing they have a sucker for a boss.

I take it that you didn’t even read the article. Alalshikh said it’s the fight that he wants to make next.

Whether either or both fighters win or lose. He believes it’s still a very marketable fight;

I'm conflicted about Turki. While I absolutely love the vision he has for boxing especially the league where we do away with promoters who get in the way of fights, going to one champion per division (the idea of having co-best is ludicrous), and generally getting these guys together for fights, I don't like the whole "His Excellency" nonsense and fights being over there making it weird AF watching these main events when it's still daylight. That's just f***ing with the culture of what we're all used to big time. Get rid of the vibe we have to kiss the ring to the Saudi's the anthem and all that when there's not even a Saudi fighting etc but boxing wise the dude has a great plan.

we never got AJ wilder when we should have, what a farce that was

fury stepped in and that was good

AJ Fury is still a good fight as both look to be in good nick, having said that i dont think fury is as fresh as he was in the past which is understandable as those wilder shots must have done some damage i would say & usyk put in dent in there as well & his lifestyle is bad for long life in the sport as well, im surprised he got this far actually, hes in with a shout of beating usyk if he can put it together one more time i would say, he did pretty well in the first fight

You really can’t see the comparison?

Late 30’s, fight marinated for years, both guys clearly past their best. Sound familiar yet?

You’re just trolling as usual tbh, don’t know why I’m even replying.

Yeah, whether win, lose or draw.....One way it's marketable to british fans, and one way it's marketable to the entire world.

hmmmm

[Phase III]

If Dubois could withstand an early storm, he may just crack A.J and send his fragile arse in to retirement.

Fragile for AJ is an understatement. As a HW his chin is beyond suspect. If DDD lands on AJ’s chin, fight over.

Turki says that Fury can lose but AJ has to win.
