Comments Thread For: Hearn: I Want Fury To Make His Mandatory, Not Become Franchise Champ

[thack]

Given the 'standstill' is boxing at the moment every fighter is having to wait.There is a massive backlog of fights waiting and others planned that will maybe not take place at all. Diilian has been waiting a long time but will certainly have to wait longer as everyone else. To keep his name in there it might be a good idea for him to fight Usyk who is looking to complicate matters with his shot just because he was the champion at a lower weight and has not proved himself with the big boys yet. Whyte would do himself and a lot of fans a favour by making this fight.

Fury just became champion he has to defend the belt against is mandatory. Elevating a guy to franchise champ is bull crap.
Fury isn’t interested in fighting Whyte because Dillian put Tyson on the canvas Twice in Training.

Joshua will be around after your Mandatory.

This. People on here saying Whyte ain't any good. He may be the best hw, and Fury is definitely afraid of fighting him

[Smash]

That's Tyson "2 fast" Fury, the greatest fighter to ever lace them up. Future civilizations will speak of his magnificence. We are blessed to live in the same era that the boxing god Fury walked the earth.

lol im not sure if u are joking or serious, are u on the gypsy payroll?

hes good alrite and doing well but lets see how he goes in his next 3 fights

whatever he does he wont be short of cash anyway

hes doing it all on the road too which is tough anyways so hes mentally strong for a crazy man if u know what i mean

A unification has to happen next for me. Get the wilder/Pulev out the way and get it on whoever it may be...

The division needs it more than anything imo..

I totally understand you, however if Joshua and Fury are doing a two fight deal the WBO will strip the winner within a month and we're back to square one.

Long term, it might be better to clear the decks first;

Fury v Wilder 3 and the winner fights Whyte.
Joshua v Pulev and the winner fights Usyk.

Then the two finalists for undisputed, hopefully with a more manageable mandatory schedule.

What do you think?

Whoever ends up undisputed won't hold all the belts for very long, nobody does.

Fury and Joshua are the clear #1 and #2 in the division, and the fight needs to happen to prove who's the best.

I can't believe that people are complaining about this tbh.

Unifications trump mandatories, and that's a good thing imo. It would be more understandable if the abc rankings were fair, but they're not.

Totally get you pal and others that call for something similar. I'm just In a state of things gone/going stale within the division. Maybe it's me, maybe it's just a lack of boxing for everyone..

We can't deny that as things stand, a unification between Fury and AJ is/will be a huge money spinner all round.

Tbh, I'm not even Interested in a 2 fight series with Fury and AJ. First and foremost it's a unification I want to see. If that's between Fury and AJ then brilliant, 2 English lads.. once the first fight is done and if there's a winner then I'm not that fussed about fight 2 unless the first is a stonker but I'm not convinced it will be...

Ideally for me, Wilder can't get fit and the association's tell Pulev to fight Whyte with the winner taking on a unified Fury/AJ..

Not even complaining dude, just trying to see a situation where we have an undisputed champion for a decent amount of time.

Klitschko kept his belts for eons, Lennox and Tyson for decent spells...it can be done.

If my sums are correct, we'd only have the WBA outstanding. Plenty of room for big fights.

I know mate, good post and i agree.

I also agree with Bunch Pag, it would be nice if a winner of Whyte-Pulev could fight a unified Fury/AJ.

I like that Fury/Joshua, Whyte/Pulev scenario and I'm sure we'd all be happy to go straight into the big fight.
Trouble is, these 2 fight deals seem to be the way things are done these days and for me are a factor in the division going stagnant as well as championships getting broken up.

Fury and Joshua must fight at least twice to find out who is better. I don`t even care about belts.
