Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua KOs Pulev With The Weight Of A Fury Bout On His Shoulders

[daggum]

Joshua will duck fury. Eddie and rob will be the two scapegoats. I remember years ago when rob had to chime in and say that HES decided Joshua ain’t fighting wilder for two years and also won’t be leaving the U.K. in that time too. He needs to be at home. That was what rob McCracken said in 2018.

Real fans know AJ and Eddie stay lying and ducking TRUE CONTENDERS. didn’t want any part of Usyk when he was CW Destroying people. Now they watched him with chisora at heavyweight, they’ve decided he’s less risk than Tyson.

If you don’t know that, then I’m afraid you must be the “Rat”.

Also, not very Neutral are you? Unless your a car, in that case you wouldn’t be going anywhere.....

Oh wait.....

Your ****** troll posts aren’t going nowhere are they?

HAHAHAHAH.

this makes no sense at all because joshua kept offering the wilder fight during this period you are referencing and wilder kept turning it down. remember wilder was making 1 million a fight and turned down 12 million. yeah thats ducking...and then joshua did leave the uk so literally every single thing you said doesnt match up at all. its like you have your hater script and havent adjusted to reality. come on man gotta update your script!

“ When that fight was a draw, I told you that I would give you a rematch. You know I was offered more money to fight Joshua than I was getting to fight you. Again being a man of my word, I fought you
like I said I would...”

Deontay Wilder via Twitter

wilder admitted he cherry picked an out of shape coked up fury who was fighting on undercards and yet you still have his fanboys coming on here pretending that was the best fight even though he made less than half of the 100 million he was offered for the dazn deal. its pretty deranged when your confirmation bias and cognitive dissonance allows you to get to this point. what really happened is wilder went for the cherry pick and lost, what really happened is he didnt bet on himself. you get that he did not bet on himself. betting on himself would have been taking the massive payday and beating joshua and then having every single network bidding for his services. he took the perceived easier route to the big money but miscalculated.

Maybe Hearn will decide to do the same as Alfredo is doing with Spedce - fight house guys first?

Far too many "Fury beats AJ 100%" posts going on.

I have it 80/20 or 70/30 in Fury's favour and I think he will win but if Joshua was to win, it wouldn't even be as big an upset as Ruiz was over AJ

A fighter of Joshuas ability has a chance against literally anyone, and whilst Fury looked spectacular vs Wilder he's had plenty of inconsistent nights in his career and one punch can end it all.

This is a competetive fight and whoever wins deserves tremendous credit.

Green k sent for a GREAT post I'm a GD Wilder fan and smart enough to know that AJ has a reasonable chance and Fury may be the favorite but history shows he can get clipped. Good post and thank you for keeping it real!!!

I just find it strange,
Parker gets a split
Wilder gets flat fee
Fury gets a split
Everyone else gets a split.

Rob,Eddie and Joshua all made clear they won’t be rushed into it.

Joshua is behaving the same over fury.

So my post makes lots of sense. Let’s see shall we. Let’s just see what happens.

Thing is I know more people that are actually in the boxing industry then you do.

So I’ll go off sources I know are reliable.

And we all know what happened with that 50M offered to AJ

But he “couldn’t take it” as BT were involved. 😂🤪

Hearn is already plotting the best way to get out of the fight, against Wilder they used the money split excuse, wonder what they will use this time. Anyhow, his fans don't care either way they don't follow boxing, they will be happy him fighting a cruiserweight in Usyk who looks rubbish as an heavyweight.

Yeah sure buddy....Tyson Fury is already setting up his escape plan....he'll undoubtedly duck this fight if he's not guaranteed at least 100 million dollars.....which he probably should get for the level of beating he's going to take.

Nobody in their right mind thinks Fury is the favorite against Joshua.

They're either #1: from the UK...lol

#2: they literally hate Eddie Hearn and Matchroom and anyone associated with them.

or #3: they're just desperately ******

Or all 3

Hearn will go the route of maximising the money - that's his job.

It made sense to milk AJ's earning potential with lesser opponents and avoid Wilder as Wilder could have upset the gravy train. Ruiz wasn't expected of course, but now AJ is back on track its the same question - keep building up the Fury fight, or risk more interim bouts knowing that AJ can be beat, and the big payday with Fury might be off the table if that happens.

Covid plays a part though, as a fight with Fury in 18 months time once more people have had the Covid vac. might generate a lot more than a fight in 6 months time when Covid is still restricting gates. So that's my expectation - Hearn delays the Fury fight until the gate can be maxed out, which doesn't happen until post-Covid.

Very true. Fury had to go to war with Chisora and suffer a brutal KD against Cunningham and one of the worst heavyweight championship bouts in history against Wlad. People are forgetting Fury is vulnerable too.

Did AJ recently talk about how he turned down a career high payday to face Wilder, or was it the other way around?
