    I think I've already made my point loud and clear.

    Fury is the king of the division and can fight whoever he wants to, it doesn't change the fact that he's #1 and will be until beaten or retired.

        Wilder was a 5yr unbeaten champion, tied for title defenses with Ali, those are the facts. Remember when everyone said Klitschko was shot after Fury schooled him, then he gave AJ the fight of his life and he was suddenly a good fighter again lol. Same with Chisora, Fury beats him and he was shot and never any good to begin with, then Whyte "beats" him and he's suddenly a good win.



        Nah, Chisora is a better win than Whyte. Whyte is a bum.



        Fury is more popular than AJ in the UK, AJ has very recently lost half of his fanbase.

        Fury has been on mainsteam TV for months now, documentaries on prime time TV, appearances on all the breakfast shows etc.

        The Wilder win has catapulted Fury in superstardom. AJ's profile is going downhill rapidly, especially as he got dominated and stopped by a morbidly obese late replacement 12 months ago.
        I gave Fury all the credit in the world for that win against Klitschko. However it’s easy, although perhaps not correct to give AJ more shine, because he took that fight at a much earlier stage in his career compared to Fury, and it was a far more entertaining and memorable occasion.

        Regarding the Chisora fight, it’s abundantly clear that Whyte fought a fitter and more motivated Chisora, and incidentally I was massively routing for Chisora in both fights, but both were wins for Whyte. That said, I put Fury’s and Whyte’s win over Chisora in the same bracket and give Whyte additional credit for beating Parker and Rivas. Saying Chisora is a better win for Fury than Whyte would be is just ******ness.

        And come of the crack pipe - Fury is by no means a superstar, at least not for now. What quantifiable measure are you basing this on? Once he starts packing stadiums and breaking or at least matching UK PPV records, then we can say that he is. For now, he isn’t even making Top Rank money yet and has generated fewer PPV numbers than even Whyte. Say what you want about BT sport being a smaller platform, the fact remains his fights are being seen by fewer eyes.

          In your opinion. But hey, fair enough.

            A king of the division shouldn’t fight his mandatories? Just as well for you that Klitschko didn’t subscribe to this logic, otherwise Fury would still be in obscurity somewhere.

            You missed or ignored one of my previous questions. If Fury needs to fight this year according to Warren, if Wilder isn’t ready, who should he fight if an AJ fight is unviable until next year? If Whyte is a bum, who is worthy of the great Fury in the meantime?

                  Careful now - your question is making too much sense here.

                  Fury in his own words promised never to fight in the UK again because he felt under appreciated, yet after fighting a few cans and then Wilder in a loss-making US bout that only had c. 300k buys in the UK, Fury is apparently now the #1 face of boxing, the most popular fighter in the UK and is too big of a superstar to fight his own mandatories, even if bigger fights are unavailable in the meantime.

                  I’ve given up trying to reason with his nuthuggers here, and have reluctantly accepted that everyone is entitled to their opinion, no matter how delusional it is.

                    Tells you how great Whyte is when Wilder and now Fury are shamefully ducking him. Whyte is terrifying the elites of the hwt division --- or exposing them as cowards.

                      So no undesputed then, that's sad. Will it ever happen again 🤔
                      Tbh i dgaf about all the alphabet belts any more, them & promoter's are the poison diluting the sport & all they add is politics & take money out of the game.
                      It will be Lineal or Ring heavyweight championship.
                      I just wish 1 fighter had the stone's to drop all the belts & keep just the ring belt or reign as lineal.
                      Ajs defined by belts & money so he won't. Could Fury be the guy 🤔
