Why does Fury get a pass for fighting complete no names?

[STREET CLEANER]

Brits don't care and will give him a pass but who is buying that crap unless it is on free tv. Imagine paying for a boring Fury fight. He is more entertaining when he talks than when he fights.

He can do what he wants. He isn't a champion and it's not like he hasn't fought and beat big names already. It never seemed to be a problem when wilder was still fighting bums well after his 30th fight, hell they were claiming he was putting in the hard work facing the best.

That's right Jason gavern, the best.

Exactly. Fury was clearly a long way off his best against Wilder. He can fight whoever he wants to fight till he's ready to step it up again.

Exactly. Fury was clearly a long way off his best against Wilder. He can fight whoever he wants to fight till he's ready to step it up again.

If Fury was an American, you'd be crucifying him right now.

Because if Wilder admitted he tried to cherry pick a dude coming off a 3 year layoff and 3 stints in rehab, it would make him look even worse considering Fury toyed with him and faked 2 kds just to afford him a draw.

Fury has a win over Wlad, Wilder is still tossing out excuses for ducking AJ, LOLOL.

Wilder's the champion though. He's got mandatories and he's got challengers.

If Fury goes in and beats Schwarz he remains the number 2 fighter.

If he goes in against Whyte, or Ortiz and gets caught by a hook then he moves down the rankings.

So, from Fury's perspective, why fight a good fighter? He's nothing to gain.

On the same topic, how much credibility does Whyte get for taking the Rivas fight? He's not where Fury is and can still gain from it, but he's risking a hell of a lot against a decent fighter.

Lol .. if Fury was American he wouldn't be Fury!

He's had 2 world title fights in 11 years. What's he been waiting for if he's that good? He's a con-man, unfortunately a lot of people especially Brits fall for it.

He's not entertaining, he's actually a bit of a sad act. When he won the title, the UK public got sick of the sound of him very rapidly.

Yes, he's had 2 world title fights, one of them a win against Wlad Klitschko, who Wilder publicly ducked after winning his title from that useless fat pudding Stiverne.

Fury doesn't hold a world title now and he has no obligation to fight Wilder on another PBC show. If the duck team wanted an immediate rematch they shouldn't have robbed Fury of the win he deserved.

Sensible people know that but Fury fans aren't sensible.

I'm a fan, most of the time.

But yeah, this lineal stuff is just a marketing ploy. He's not even lineal, as he gave it up when he retired.
