Comments Thread For: Amir Khan: We All Know Joshua is A-Side, But Fury is No. 1 at Weight

Great keep pushing this A Side Anthony narrative so a Fury V Joshua fight will never happen.

WTF?
Fury was 17 years old when he lost on points to Price as an amateur!

Since then he has dethroned 6' 6" Wlad, the most dominant HW of the 21st century, and 6' 7" Wilder, the undefeated WBC champion, both in their own backyards, and won every title belt in the HW division, plus the lineal title twice.

Sometimes I feel it’s a waste of time to engage these ignorant idiots.
I read that fool’s (Vasquez) post and was at a loss of words.

Fury is the kingpin at HW and is only 30, I’m not sure what else he has to do for Neanderthals like Vasquez to acknowledge him.

[Oregonian]

So who was the best opponent Wilder beat? Was it a 40 year old Ortiz by any chance? And who did Ortiz beat? Guy is a nobody who was built up by Wilder's promo team.

And Wlad retired after Fury ran from the rematch. He was old and washed-up. Even Fury said so before the fight.

Fury hasn't beaten anyone apart from Derek Chisora and he runs from rematches and has never defended a belt.

Sorry for breaking the illusion

————
Fury beat Wlad by UD, how is a rematch merited? How did Fury run from a guy he beat? Why not duck Wlad in the first place if he was scared?

Fury beat Wilder in the first fight. What did he do? He got a rematch and destroyed Wilder. Wilder was the belt holder. A leverage that Fury now has when it comes to a unification bout with AJ.

Unless you think AJ is a bum too?
Lastly, Fury is 30 years old and can fight for another 5/6 years. That’s about 12 fights before he calls it quits. So there’s enough time for him to build on his legacy.

Like, how the heck do you discredit a guy that has beaten two long dominant champions and is undefeated?

A side BS. Keep building Frank Bruno 2.0 up. At least Bruno wasn't afraid to fight Tyson unlike AJ afraid of Wilder.

AJ will wait until wilder is 38 to fight him. He only fights old opponents on the back end of their career. He thought Ruiz was a cake walk then realized Ruiz can take his best shot then got popped on the inside.

AJ fanboys will still claim he's the A side when he loses his belts. He can have all of Furys belts but hes still the 4th best heavyweight in the division

[LacedUp]

A side is a financial thing - the one who generates the most money. Against anyone else, AJ would indeed be the A side, but vs Fury, the combination of the two is what would generate the money, so you're right, no A side in a Joshua/Fury match-up, and 50-50 sounds about right.

Oh it is? Thanks for explaining that to me.

I'm not convinced that AJ brings more money than Fury at this present time.

Fury did 800-850k ppvs in the U.S in his last fight and looked amazing against a top level fighter, in Las Vegas.

On top of UK PPV.

I'm not sure AJ has ever generated that type of revenue.

Who is #3 then?

Wild guess, he'll say Luis ortiz

[Boxviewer]

The fact that Joshua is still the A side even after that quit job vs ruiz shows how gullible and tribal many boxing fans are.

Fortunately, most boxing fans have something called common sense; unlike most Wilder and Fury azz lickers.

Hearn has already said that it will be a 50/50 purse, since A side and B side thing won't be an issue for making the fight to happen. The only issue will be Fury getting "mental" again and run from the contest.

It will happen. Both boxers want it, Both different stables and they'll want it. They don't have to rely on pop up internet streamers for extra revenue to pay purses...

By hook or crook it will happen, most likely in Saudi/oil rich country with Fury having no license. Eddie and Frank will/know how to capitalise on a money spinner,

My only problem is when it happens and both need to have belts for maximum interest/revenues..

I'd be amazed if they both come through the respected fights and don't negotiate a unification after. Or even have one in place.

the fact that you think most boxing fans have common sense, shows that you yourself lack common or any sense at all. You're probably from the uk as many of them are desperate for boxing stars, so they cling to inferior fighters like Khan and Hatton. Not to mention how they desperately love to take credit for Lewis who gained all of his boxing skills/knowledge outside of the uk.
