Comments Thread For: Fury's Father: Joshua Frightened, Will Retire Before Facing Tyson

[jasonfshaw]

This is old news. These comments were taken directly from an iFL interview before the Fury v Seferi fight

[BillyBoxing]

When was AJ supposed to have fought the other guys in the top 3, especially Fury?

Should have picked a fight with Fury after the Seferi fight when he looked like it was gonna take a while for the comeback and he was busy offering Wilder large multiples of his highest payday? The only time Fury has appeared to be possibly free since his comeback was when he was secretly sorting out his ESPN deal and even then he was supposed to be rematching Wilder.

Wilder's not been available since the First Fury fight either and has turned down every offer from AJ and refused to send his team to meet Hearn for the offer they'd made themselves. I'd go as far as saying Wilder has intentionally made himself unavailable which is why he was announcing his rematches with Ortiz and Fury a week before the first Ruiz fight without them being finalised.

I dunno, Wilder fought him tice already on PPV, so it seems that there was more than a room to fight Fury.

I won't go into Wilder vs Josh stuff, as a matter of a fact, Hearn didn't secure those fights.

That interview is nearly 2 year old! it was just before the seferi fight.

You’re not making any sense. You can only have one fight at a time. And Wilder cherrypicked Fury. There’s no great achievement picking out a retired 400lb fatboy, even Fury said Wilder was rushing him into that first fight, trying to cherrypick him. Why do you think Fury had to squeeze in two fights in two months before Wilder? After that fight they were locked in to fight again. So no, there was never much of an opportunity.

Wilder’s team are cherrypickers, and Fury was still a cherrypick, it just went horribly wrong for him. Locking themselves in for that rematch against a more fit Fury was their biggest mistake.

I think AJ/Povetkin was already booked and a few weeks out when the Fury/Wilder fights got signed.

Theres also some serious revisionism going on because people are conveniently forgetting that at the time Fury/Wilder was signed Fury had looked like absolute dog **** against D level bums. He'd been back like 3 months after being out for two and a half years, he'd been 400lbs the previous year and was still looking a mess. Nobody was suggesting Joshua could have been ducking him at that time, the consensus was he'd need at least a year and multiple fights to shake the ring rust off, get in shape and get back to where he was.

....and then out of nowhere suddenly Deontay wants a piece of him. Coincidentally this is around the time Shelly Finkel is giving interviews saying he believes Wilder will get an even bigger offer for the AJ fight in a year. The revisionists are also forgetting that most people expected Wilder to absolutely murder Fury in 5 rounds or less. All of this is being retconned now to make it look like Joshua ducked Fury, so funny.

People are going forget this all of a sudden, Wilder and his team thought Fury would be ripe for the picking coming back from obesity, drugs, alcohol and mental illness cause that's all they do: CHERRY PICK.

In the build up to the first fight Wilder openly called and acknowledged Fury's lineage because they wanted the public to believe Fury was the best available challenge for Wilder to conquer. Once he lost the first fight then his true feelings came out and he started discrediting Fury and his lineal title saying it was BS.

That's how it goes, people make up their own story to push their agenda. Fury looked like hot trash in those comeback fights but now Wilder was soooo brave for fighting him.

Wilder won't be able to get away with fighting no-hopers anymore, he's been outed to the public and I suspect more losses are on the way for him. By the time his career is over people will realise just how much of a protected hype job he really was.

Keep that same energy when AJ got your son fighting for his life in the ring.

[Chrismart]

Nah, this fight can get made.
