Comments Thread For: Fury: Hearn Was Trying To Protect Joshua By Putting Whyte in The Way

[factsarenice]

Fury got popped cheating and refused to fight the rematch so he quit rather than face the music. Personally I think Joshua should tell Fury to go ^&ck himself and let him keep making peanuts fighting nobodies. I'd keep my three REAL belts and continued to make 50 to 80 million a pop. But, unlike Fury, Joshua wants to prove he's the best fighting the best in their prime. So be it.

Those belts belong to Fury, he never lost them in the ring.

Fury has beaten two long reigning champions, Joshua has beaten zero. AJs best win is still Furys sloppy seconds.

Fury is ranked #1 by every boxing publication in the world, if Joshua ever wants to be called the man, he has to go through Fury.

Pretty ok till the lucky punch part..

There was nothing lucky about that.

Whyte was beating Povetkin up, that's not even debatable. The body shots where hurting Povetkin and he was slowing down. The punch that caught Dillian was the best punch Povetkin has every thrown in his life and it shocked every single person watching. I will say here and now, that punch was lucky and it will never land in the rematch. Mark my words.

Don’t over look 👀 povietkin, a true champion and he will knock out white again...period

Fury isn't making peanuts lol, he's making big money, far more than most boxers will ever earn.

Fury couldn't do a rematch because he suffered from a well publicised mental breakdown and wasn't medically fit to fight.

You sound very butthurt lol, you'll be even more so after Fury knocks AJ out.

Fury got popped for PEDS, period. Fury then refused to rematch without the performance enhancing drugs. The supposed break down didn't come until long after he was doing eight-balls in the bathroom. It wasn't until much much later that Fury came up with the unsubstantiated BS breakdown story. If you follow the time line his story falls apart. When he's questioned in-depth his story falls apart and it falls apart because it's BS.

Fake news, Fury tested clean for the Klitschko fight multiple times, and he's been talking about suffering from mental health issues since 2011, years before the Wlad fight.

Why would Fury make up mental health issues in 2011? He would have no reason to.

You can't debate me son, get back to your mommas basement and leave the boxing discussion to the adults.

Correct. I am constantly surprised by how many people just give Fury a complete bye on these issues.
Fury talks complete BS the majority of the time but, give him his due, he's a clever guy and knows exactly what he's doing.

Well done Povetkin for ridding us of overrated Dillian Whyte.

I’d rather see Joshua vs fury (it’d be great if wilder took a step aside to pave way for the fight now)

Either way, it’s another knockout loss on whytes record, and he ripped into wilder for his loss. So serves him right.

Thinking Povetkin was an easy win and a pushover.

That’s a contender for KO of the year no doubt

Here's a special request, from Robbie Barrett, and all the other Matchroom casuals.

I wouldn't say Fury refuses to fight Whyte, just because we haven't got to that part yet. Yes the soundbite from his camp weren't great about segwaying whyte but they were adamant they wanted to jump from Wilder to Joshua (Which i personally don't believe they would do).

Wilder flat out ducked Whyte, he had money offers turned down on multiple occasions and was seen messaging Whyte about making him wait for TWO years. Moreover Wilder fought others for LESS money when he had offers of more money on the table for a Whyte fight......That WAS a duck.

With Fury it hasn't come to that yet.

Fury said he'd fight Whyte for the WBC Diamond belt not the interim, the WBC obliged and then Fury ducked him.
