Comments Thread For: Arum on Fury Return: Kabayel, Takam The Leading Candidates For Dec. 5

[removed]

True, Ruiz isn't available. Rivas and Ajagba would be ok, but they are no better than the 2 Bob mentioned.

Sorry mate, i know you like Dillian!

[SplitSecond]

Takam is a just a basic brawler, at least Kabayel has some boxing skills.

Lol, that sig reminded me of this.

[Nightfall]

lost all respect for Wilder.

I don't care for knowing differently.

I can see both Joshua and Fury fighting twice , before they face each other 'The Wilder situation is still not been dealt with' etc.

Tyson Fury is held to a lower standard mate 'Deep down you know this is correct'.

Andy Ruiz Junior is training 'I am sure if he was offered this fight, he would take it'.

Yes it has been dealt with. The rematch clause has gone, Fury has moved on.

Fury is the king of boxing and can do or fight whoever he wants to, it is what it is.

Ruiz isn't in training, at least he isn't training with Reynoso. He wouldn't take the fight because he knows he would lose.

“I don’t know given the football schedule if we can do it on ESPN,” Arum said. “But until I get an opponent I’m not going to ESPN (to discuss it).”

The Gypsy-Bum is going back on ESPN+ streaming app. Tyson, is lucky to be boxing and acting like a clown on social media in this mobile-streaming generation ; in circumstances different from those present, nobody in America would know who this bum is -- like when HBO refused to broadcast the cure for insomnia, the Wladimir Klitschko era.

Tyson Phooey.

Tyson Fury cannot fight whoever he wants 'He must be held to a standard, and a high one at that'.

The Deontay Wilder situation is not over, no matter what people state here etc.

I am just explaining the current situation.

I think you'll find that he can, even if he vacated the WBC, he's still the ring and lineal champion, all roads lead to Tyson Fury, nobody can call themselves the man until they fight and beat him.

It's over, Fury has moved on, Arum and his legal team wouldn't allow it if the rematch contract was still valid.

Just because a fighter has to beat Fury to call themselves the man doesn’t mean that Fury can do whatever he wants. As the above poster said, Fury has to be held to a higher standard now that he’s champ.

Are you saying that it’s hypothetically okay if Fury was to face a succession of a Seferi and Rivas-type opponents for his next 5 fights? I think you’ll find that while he’d still be “lineal champion”, the credibility and popularity he has deservedly built would quickly vanish.

One could argue you’re correct in the strictest sense, but if you’re saying that his actions won’t come with any negative consequences then sorry but that’s nonsense.

I'm just telling it how it is.

Nobody can force Fury to do anything.

The rest of it, i obviously agree with you.

Kayabel is a decent opponent. Takam is a recycled fringe contender who doesn't deserve a shot at the world title. He's durable, but that's about it. The ranks are pretty thin with most of the top guys already committed to fights.
