so much salt on these boards lol oh man its sad

[Boksfan]

Bit rich coming from the Joshua/Sky Sports groupie

"Really good" yeah in terms of entertainment, awful everywhere else but hey, if you're idea of "really good" is watching hulked up stiff bodybuilders, unco-ordinated drunk boxing, fat Irish gypsies, Jamaican guys with two left feet, a Cuban who is about 987 years old and a guy in Parker too nice to fight then what can I say?



I'll defend my stance until the end of the earth and back man lol



It's back from the coma Wlad and Vitali put it on but people are acting like these are genuinely elite, technically excellent fighters. They're not, end of. It's guys with tremendous deficiencies posturing and not wanting to fight each other because as you have correctly said, 95% of the division is garbage. I mean, Ortiz is supposed to be this boogeyman right? Does a resume of Cojanu, Allen, Scott, Thompson and Martz **** any of the top 3 up? Haymon couldn't seriously get a respectable guy like Breazeale or Molina in instead?

And these guys will take their sweet time to fight each other and in some cases, won't fight each other at all simply because they don't want to. Why would Wilder take a risk when he's 40 - 0 against ****ing bums? Why would Joshua take a risk when he's packing out 60,000 to 90,000? Why would Whyte take a risk when he's being pushed by Hearn and Co as a PPV star? Why would Ortiz take a risk when he's still living off this boogeyman reputation despite one good win? The only taking a gamble is Fury but we all know that's a cash out risk to spite Hearn

Go back to Alabama you ball licking fangirl, your daddy Wildher will let you suck his nuts one more time before he jump to Fury sucking. Also your other daddy Haymon will let you kiss his ass if you have been a good boy

Yet another ****ty, overhyped matchup this year in boxing. Why wasn't this fight made years ago when Fury was healthy? Why isn't this fight being made a year or two from now, when Fury can be healthy again? They chose to make it at the only point during which Fury is guaranteed to lose, which is, of course, the point. Just like they waited to make Canelo-GGG until the moment GGG would not be so dominant over Canelo anymore that they couldn't rob him on the scorecards without making it obvious to everyone, even the fanboys.

Boxing is like WWE now. This is another example. I don't even think we will get a good fight out of this, due to Fury not being back to himself yet. I think this fight could look like Wilder vs Stiverne rematch.

fight wasnt made years ago because Fury exited the boxing world shortly after calling Wilder out. Everyone knows that. From the moment he called Wilder out he was always going to lose via ko. It matters not when the fight happens. Blame AJ and his team for doing everything possible to avoid fighting Wilder. They are the ones letting time pass by hoping Wilder starts to decline or either takes a low ball offer.

Well you can't please all the people all the time. If it wasn't happening other people would scream at Fury and say he needs to step up and stop fighting bums. Fury didn't have to take this fight. He damn sure didn't have to take it now but he believes in his abilities to win. I for one think Fury has a great chance to win by decision and make Wilder look silly in there at times. Wilder has a punchers chance and it's a hefty sized punchers chance but he's not winning a decision for s***. I think this fight might've happened earlier had Fury not disappeared to deal with his demons. Could've should've... We don't know how long he'll stick around for now. Let's just try and appreciate that it's happening at all. I'm leaning Fury by decision by the slightest of margins in a fight he might get rocked in.

[Larry the boss]

they timed the announcement perfectly...lol

[Holler]

Eddie Hearn is screaming into a pillow somewhere.

Joshua earned $47m last year.

I think they'll get over it somehow.

[Oshio]

Really childish. What are they trying to prove taking the shine off Joshua-Povetkin?

[soul_survivor]

Ok...well let's hope it comes through.

Anyway, considering all Wilder could talk about with regards to AJ was money, wheres the money for this one? Is it so embarassing they have to hide it?

Joshua earned $47m last year.

So he made less money in an entire year than he would've in 1 fight vs Wilder if he wasn't afraid to fight in the US? Thanks for pointing that out.

Kidding aside, as long as Joshua can keep beating on B level fighters and filling stadiums with his lemming fans he will never step outside his comfort zone. $50 million wasn't enough to get him to fight outside the UK. He has tiny little testicles.

[alexguiness]

Great event to end the year.
