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

[Joe Beamish]

What is this guy talking about ? lol

Joshua just fought Klitchko and unified with Parker ,the guy he picked to defeat Joshua .

Wilder just fought Ortiz .

Everyones afraid if ONE fight doesn't get made next ?

The big question is will he be afraid and stand by his 50% stance ?

Until then he shouldn't talk about being greedy . lol

Last April? More than a year ago? That was the last meaningful matchup in the HW division. And no sign of the next one being made THIS year.

Yeah everything is great.

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!

It's not my perception, it's a fact! Ortiz lost his place as AJ's WBA mando when he decided to go after Wilder instead of waiting for his shot, then failed a PED test.

Insert Apple Jacks when it comes to Wilder in there and it's universally agreeable outside AJ fan girls, also Parker who chosed to sell his belt in a safety first fight with a man who he claimed has a glass jaw instead of facing the man with the most prestigious belt!

I think Fury fights Wilder before AJ does!

10 years a pro, Fury fought 1 A class fighter. He seriously needs to shut up.

Fury should quit boxing and become a clown because he’s very good and taking a bunch of rubbish

but clowns dont talk...

ahhh i see what you did, there! lol

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?

Povetkin had been Wilder's mandatory for a while and Wilder lost the purse bid.

And as for Whyte, trying to contract two fighters at the same time basically impossible, so I don't think we can really give credit for it.

Wilder didn't duck Whyte because he was scared or anything, but you can't say that he was willing to fight him either. It would be like me saying "I'm willing give you $1m if you turn into a lizard".

For the amount of fights and defences he's had, Wilder's resume is weak-sauce; I'm just telling it like it is.

Thats bc your feeble mind cant process that fights dont get made by the week they are usually many months apart .

Wilder vs Ortiz wasnt meaningful either right ? lol

Were you in a coma and missed Joshua vs Parker as well....another irrelevant fight right ?

Povetkin vs Joshua is a major fight if Wilder doesn't happen next are you really going to cry bc Joshua who is just now free to fight Wilder may not happen ? Blame Wilder

Ok.
This is from the guy who was scared to defend his title.
Tony Bellew is too small for him but he's fighting a 5'11 CW.

Fury is mentally unreliable yes but I think he partly used it as an excuse for bottling the rematch vs Wlad.
Hit and run and shouts from sidelines.
I like Fury but he's a one-hit wonder.

I just can't see Fury beating Wilder or Joshua. Who knows but I just don't think his win over a fading, old Klitchko is impressive enough to make me a believer. I wish him luck but at least he sounds like he's willing to fight unlike so many of the other premadonnas who hold one of the many titles being shopped around

Prime fury might just be slight favourite against these versions of aj and wilder.
But right now nobody knows.
But I wonder what Steve Cunningham's thinks?
