Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury: Current Heavyweights Afraid To Fight Each Other

[The plunger man]

Coming from a heavyweight who has probably the worst resume in boxing considering how long he has been a pro.....fury has an appalling record period

Yes sir, Fury told how it is. They are all just waiting on AJ to give them a payday.

Ortiz was AJ's mando. If he hadn't failed another PED test - his 3rd failure - he would have been fighting AJ next, ahead of Povetkin.

If that's your perception, so be it! I just don't think Wilder is afraid of fighting anyone, and he's gone out of his way to make fights happen, whether it be going to someone's backyard, or fighting them after a PED scandal, what ever the case may be! When you offer someone $50 million dollars to fight you, then I don't get the sense that they're afraid of anything!

[Bronx2245]

Nah, Wilder's side didn't make an offer. Hearn made an opening offer of $12.5m

I'm a fan of Wilder's but realistically Joshua is the only challenging fighter who Wilder has actually targeted, so if we're being objective we can't say Wilder's completely fearless himself.

Wilder traveled to fight Povetkin...in Russia! Wilder fought Ortiz, even after he failed drug testing! Wilder agreed to fight Whyte, so long as AJ was guaranteed to fight him if he beat Whyte! Wilder offered AJ $50 million dollars! Who else would you like him to target?

"Ali had three years out of the ring, had two fights and then lost to Frazier. Was it enough fights on his return? I don't know. But he got back to his glory."

You, my fat, drunk, high, crazy friend, and I say this with love, are no Muhammad Ali.

‘They’re afraid to fight each other’ says the guy that’s never defended a title

Neither of them is afraid, it’s just business. This idea that HW boxers at this level are afraid of fighting is ludicrous, they wouldn’t be in the sport if they were afraid, they’ve accumulated 1000s of rounds of sparring, facing big opponents is second nature at this point.

Of course it's just business, but turning down $50 million dollars? That's bad business!
