Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury's Coach Explains How it Came Down To Picking Wallin

[Scopedog]

Honestly with the Wilder rematch on its way a safe pick makes the most sense, it’s hopefully another chance to look good and keep himself in the eye of the crowd in the meantime. It begs the question of why we can’t just have the rematch with Wilder now instead of in February though.

2 bums in a row..........No way to spin it.

Absolute rubbish - Parker is available and I will say what I've always said since the Wilder fight. Tyson got hurt more than they are admitting since been dropped by Wilder in the 12th and they won't rematch him just look at his last 2 opponents very pathetic tbh. Tyson and his team will carry on with I got robbed and I'm the lineal champion.

A lineal champ that's seems to be avoiding the top 10 in the division. Clearing got rocked harder than expected by Wilder. He'll keep fighting unknown and claiming he's the best in the world without fighting the top guys.

Parker is fighting Chisora next I thought?

I agree with the rest though. Can’t defend Wallin as an opponent.

i agree about parker. he was the obvious choice . They may have had to dig deep tho, looks like hes going to be fighting chisora

No he wasn't , Parker is friends with Tyson and said they wouldn't fight unless it was a must. Parker is also signed to Dazn , we know why the fight wouldn't happen right there and he's actually scheduled to fight Chisora .

Otto Wallin...ok, well yup, Ill skip that one

Why couldn't Wilder have taken the 100 million to fight AJ ? You can't make fights when fighters don't want to fight , in this instance Wilder was given an option by ESPN before Showtime but he chose to decline the deal knowing it was a few fights away if he did.

[REDEEMER]

Wallins a good opponent , a tough 6'6 southpaw who hasn't lost , the Wilder fans have to realize Ortiz is close to being 50 and what has he looked like recently to assume this guy is so easy ?

A 5 fight deal? You’ve got to be kidding.

You're lying. Wilder would have fought Fury within the 2nd/3rd fight. In no way would they not fight and be signed on, its also a known fact Wilder would have been offered no more then 3 fights so after taking a loss to fury he really shouldn't have squabbled over where th rematch was supposed to take place ,if he didn't do that the fight would have happened before any deals were made by networks.
