Comments Thread For: Fury To Wilder: I'll Rip Your Heart Out, Feed it To You!

[Ravens Fan]

You evidently do have a problem with the English language.

Where did I say anything remotely resembling "Wlad is afraid of Fury"?

I'm sure Wlad believes he can beat Fury, or anyone else. The best thing Manny Steward did for Wlad was give him a "winner's" mind set and attitude.
He would never have won his titles, or held on to them so long, if he was afraid of anybody.

What I think is that Wlad and his team know that Fury is much, much better than most American fans, like yourself, believe him to be. And these are the very fans Wlad is trying to win over now as he builds towards his real objective - a big unification fight, in the USA, with Deontay Wilder.

The last thing Wlad needs, with the US fans starting to believe in him at last, is to get himself involved in a tough, hard fought battle with a guy who is widely believed by the majority of those US fans to be a clumsy, useless, glass-jawed no-hoper.

So I think he will avoid fighting Fury until after he unifies the titles, maybe even avoid fighting him altogether by going out in a blaze of glory after beating Wilder and following his missus into the movies.

With his looks, real life fighting pedigree, and Hollywood connections, Wlad, if he wanted to, could probably make even more money as a Scharzenegger style action hero than he made as a boxer. He would likely be a better actor than Arnie, as a matter of fact.

I was just trying to figure out what all the cheeky crap meant. So, let me try again. If you were not implying that Wlad was afraid of Fury what were you implying? Are you implying that I am some how concerned that Wlad will have to fight him? Let me clarify it for you I hope Wlad fights Fury and the only fighter I have any concern about Wlad possibly fighting would be Briggs.

As for the rest of what you said. For once I am going to make it short. I believe you are simply reading way way way to much into the situation. If Fury was the WBC champ Wlad would going that way but since he isn't.

Wlad also made it very clear that he wants to fight in USA. And since Fury-Chisora was buried deep on ESPN3.com he obviously isn't the best choice. I am also pretty sure that because HBO, who at this point is paying him, is an American company they may prefer that he fight an American or two.

With that said I also believe that there is a good chance Wilder fights Fury first. And why? Because if Haymon is as safety first as everyone believes he is and Wlad and Fury were the choices. Hell, he would be ****** not to pick Fury first.

I aint gonna lie I miss this Tyson Fury.

I will cheer for him, but ONLY for a couple of fights.

Once he get into the mandatory position, we going to war.
