Why's Fury getting a pass for fighting Charles Martin?

[Bmore18]

I think they just wanted a easy but some what known/ big tall opponent until Wilder.

Well obviously, but think OP's point is that people are dragging GGG over the coals for doing the same thing waiting for the trilogy that Fury is doing for the rematch with Wilder.

LMAO at this idiots saying it's a stay busy fight.

How many bums would he fight to stay busy when he has fought 28 bums in 30 fights? In his last 4 fights, he has fought 3 tomato cans that any light heavyweight would spark out.

But AJ never got the same pass and the same idiots would be the ones calling Wlad and Povetkin old. Povetkin is a decent stay busy fight, why can't he fight him? Lol. You know he'll spark fat Fury out in 3 rds max.

Wlad and Wilder couldn't do that, so why do you think Povetkin would?

It’s not confirmed yet and Charles Martin is a former WORLD CHAMP. World champs and former world champs are the best opponents you can face. Also Joshua wasn’t a novice stop pretending he had a deeper amateur background than fury

[Combat Talk Radio]

To be fair, Martin QUIT against Joshua. There's no other way to slice that outcome.

Wlad and Wilder couldn't do that, so why do you think Povetkin would ... because Povetkin got KTFO by AJ?

Fury at his best, before he fu..cked up his body, struggled against smaller skilled boxers, hence Cunningham and some other guy scored knockdowns against him. Povetkin is very skilled and he throws shots from angles. His overhand right and left hook, which Fury is very susceptible to, will catch Fury and it's night night. Even Wlad in his prime struggled against Povetkin.

Wilder is a windmill bum and anyone that can box will outbox him without making an effort. And the Wlad that fought Fury was a disinterested Wlad and he would've destroyed Fury if the gypsy bum didn't duck the rematch twice.

Because Fury doesn’t hold any belts and has made it abundantly clear he’s fighting a string of tomato can opponents in America to build his name before the Wilder rematch.

And by that standard, Martin is a hell of a lot better opponent than we were expecting, so it’s a nice surprise.

[Bundt]

Wow what a terrible choice, Martin. I’d rather see Fury fight Jarrell Miller or Povetkin or Joseph Parker. I suspect this is going to be the kind of garbage fights from Fury until he can secure Wilder.

[bballchump11]

Yeah this is trash

[boliodogs]

It's a cherry pick right after a cherry pick. His performance will be measured against AJ's performance.

Well obviously, but think OP's point is that people are dragging GGG over the coals for doing the same thing waiting for the trilogy that Fury is doing for the rematch with Wilder.

Yea it is a crappy fight Parker or Takim were better stay busy fights that bring some good chances of winning.
