Floyd is done move on

you guys are desperate for wilder to get a good name to his CV.
Why the rush to make fight with an unfit fury while a contract is still waiting to be signed.

Ortiz and fury are better than anyone on Joshua's resume so far. As far as the contract, Nobody takes flat fee offers for a million plus ppv sale fight. Get real.

Too much money, high profile exposure, and taking the spotlight from Hearn to pullout.

Where is the signed contract Wilder?

we have the system the promoters and networks prefer. they created this. you can say only casuals care about belts, but the sport dies without casuals.

networks want title fights. it's why the wba has three champions. it's why there are four recognized organizations. it's why there are 17 weight classes.

whoever controls the belts controls the sport. the fighters are largely interchangeable. bob and don figured that out decades ago.

Our sport is dying and it’s been dying because of this bs. Say what you want but the ufc has overall better operations . One belt thats it. Most casuals cant even name one champion in 175, 200*, 168, 154, 140, and everything else below . Maybe even 160.

Agree with you 100%. MMA has multiple world champions, but everyone recognizes the UFC as the premier league, so the UFC champion is considered the real world champion.

Boxing desperately needs a UFC style league. Of course there will be other champions around the world, but if one league is recognized as the premier league, their champions will be considered the real world champions.

Ultimately, this is what PBC aims to become. But they need HBO to pull out of boxing before they attempt it. Too risky right now to hand HBO a bunch of world titles on a silver platter.

Wilder vs Fury is a solid fight on paper. Fury is still the lineal champion at heavyweight and Wilder has been on a tear. I'm interested to see how Fury looks in his upcoming fight. I know he's favored to win but he had a pretty long layoff and has lots of ring rust to brush off. Wilder vs Fury might be better if Fury had another tune up after his upcoming fight (granted he wins) against a stiffer challenge. But regardless it looks like it might happen. Fury might be taking the fight prematurely though in my opinion. But, like I said, it all depends on how he looks in his upcoming fight.

do you remember the fight Fury had against USS Cunningham?

USS Cunningham lol. Yeah, I remember.

That press conference was really intense.

I take it you are referring to the knockdown? It was a great overhand right but I think there was only one other shot from Cunningham that caused a wobble?

Fury's head movement and choice of combinations will be like nothing Wilder will have faced, as well as him being the smaller man.

Look, I'm not really a Tyson Fury fan but you'd have to be blind to see that he has a far superior boxing skills than Wilder and AJ. Probably combined.

On the one hand, I can see why the still very young AJ may have ducked this fight for this year, preferring to fight Wilder in April, and I'm sure AJ will fight him eventually.

I do have question marks over Wilder's motivation regarding travelling to the U.K to fight where it's a guaranteed 80-90,000 sellout plus PPV numbers.

It seems Wilder is eager to fight AJ, but only on his turf, perhaps realising that this fight might have a high probability of going to the scorecards, which surely Wilder doesn't want.

If Wilder beats the crap out of Fury and it does significant PPV numbers, then it would put more pressure on AJ to travel.

Have to wait and see.
