Does anyone suspect that Fury

[johnbook]

is just cashing out?

Knows he didn’t train long enough or hard enough or fight good opposition before taking this fight?

Also did he get drugged up to avoid the rematch with Wlad because he feared he wouldn’t win? Or that he could defeat AJ?

Just pondering, in part because I remember Warren saying after the 1st comeback fight that he needed at least 2 more before matching him with a titlist.

We will know soon enough.

He is putting on a damn good show if true. I myself wondered that at first but he’s even got me convinced he actually thinks he can outbox Wilder and possibly knock him out.

Do I think so? No. Wilder KO8.

All signs point to no, if you've been paying attention at all. Doesn't seem to even be particularly concerned about the money. Kind of a tired route to go down, not much to say about it.

Have you been paying attention? Fury has everything to prove.

He knows he's the greatest heavyweight in the world, and he knows he can beat Wilder. Why would he allow Wilder to win?

isn't that the point of boxing? this guy was fighting on undercards and was plucked from obscurity and given a 50-50 split and a rematch clause for a ppv fight. he easily could have lost to any bum the way he was fighting and the horrible shape he was in(still is in).

Well that's my point. To sell the fight that maybe Fury barely has a chance at this P.I.T. they have to carry on like that. I mean didn't Fury say he'd give his entire purse to charity? Does anyone believe that?

This fight reminds me of the scene in Cinderella Man where Braddock's manager is pleading for a fight from the promoter and reminds him, "Come on we all know what boxing's all about, and it sure ain't pugilism." [Meaning $]

I don't pay attention to what Fury says now because all that I did hear in the past indicates he's got more than a few loose screws. And now he and Wilder both saying anything to promote the fight.

Also with the exception of his good win over a sub-par Vlad that night, what other great wins did he have?
I recall the Cunningham fight where a CW [basically] KDed him and then he/Fury was allowed to fight real dirty to get the win.

Obviously Wilder has his own flaws but at least he isn't coming back from a 3 year layoff/ban and drug/alcohol binge. On paper, it should be a relatively easy fight for him, if it isn't
fixed.
