Comments Thread For: Fury To Wilder: Until Someone Beats Me, I'm Heavyweight King!

Actually......lennox needed to take the rematch with vitali. Instead he retired for good and passed the torch to vitali. Vitali then retired and passed the torch to wladimir who held it for a decade. Fury took it from him and never lost it. Even in his hiatus. Just like Floyd is still #1, ward is still #1.......fury is back in the ring and has to be beaten before he loses it.

Nope. The first part could be...it is actually a very good way of resolving the issue of when a fighter retires. But how did Vitali pass it on to his brother? He can't just will it. here is what he could have done: schedule a match with Vitali against his brother, say it is private but sanctioned, the bell rings, Vitali does not get off his stool. The torch passes.

The only other way would be if the title is unified, which is what the damn thing (the unified lineal) should do anyway.

Get real. The King does what the f**k he wants and gets his minions to run ***** whilst he whores, hunts, drinks and smokes himself into oblivion. He doesn't come back to become King again, merely to remind them who IS King.

No mate that's not what a king does, it's what a **** does. A ruler of any kind has responsibilities, when they ignore them is when they get their power stripped from them and they become a peasant again - at best.

Only casuals focus on "boring." Boxing is about winning. Casuals want to see C-level guys like Gatti-Ward and they think those fights are something amazing. I'll take a "boring" fight from the best two in the division over some telephone booth fight between two C-Levels any day.

With the exception of Floyd Mayweather of course. You are a walking contradiction but I do agree with you though

If Wilder stays patient and use the jab more, he can knock Fury out. But, Fury's superb footwork, mobility, and elusiveness, if he got his legs back after almost 3yrs, makes it hard for Wilder to track his target. If it goes to the scorecards, big chance Fury gets the belt. I say, the less mobile-statuesque AJ is a far easier fight for Wilder.

Fury is king until proven otherwise. Of course him abusing himself for 3 years gives you a better chance. Just makes your job easier of trying to be the king

Would you say the same thing if he was fighting AJ? I doubt it.
