Comments Thread For: Warren Reacts To Hearn's Offer Claim For Joshua vs. Fury

[Jim Tom]

I agree that AJ can box and he would be a more difficult opponent than Wilder for Fury.

But Parker a more fluid boxer than Fury? Are you serious?

OK let's say Fury is more fluid but still Parker is a fluid boxer, but because he is smaller he is harder to hit. Joshua definitely knows how to deal with fluid boxers as that's all Olympic boxing is all about.

Parker is like a pesky little fly buzzing around your head as you try to swat it with a rolled up newspaper being made to look silly. Right?

Did I already mention that a fluid boxer (a 91kg native at that) beat Joshua in the first bout of the Olympics?

[Jim Tom]

Lost to Savon in the first bout, be honest.

That's debatable but still he was a good Olympic boxer. What is undeniable is that he can actually box.

[Jim Tom]

The 60/40 split was mandated by the WBC, not Warren.

Hahaha but Warren is willing to take it. It's acceptable to Warren yet he insists 50-50 with Joshua. Joshua is a bigger star than Wilder.

Parker isnt 6 foot 9 with massive long arms

His smaller size means he is more difficult to nail. Fury presents a larger surface area to hit which is why he has been floored a few times.

Doesn’t quite work like that. Even if it did,
Joshua doesn’t hit half as hard, so put that one in your calculator.

Fury has been caught by many guys before. Joshua might not hit as hard as Wilder but he is more accurate and he hits hard in his own right. Because of the cumulative effect of his shots he has a good chance of doing damage to Fury as much as Wilder did. Only good thing for Joshua is he doesn't give away rounds walking around looking for that one big shot. He jabs. has good hooks, uppercuts, goes to the body to take away the legs and sets people up. This fight is any man's fight but Joshua does better with his back on the ropes so he isn't really the underdog some might want to think.

How do you know it's acceptable to Warren? The WBC set the purse split, and it will only be 60/40 if a bid is called, which isn't going to happen.

Hearn said Fury wanted a flat fee so Hearn sent what he believed would be 40%. He says Fury can have a 40% split instead if he wants. No excuses.

Wilder has been sent a 40% split offer too.


Can't say Joshua doesn't want these fights now. Only takes one of them to find their nuts.

that makes absolutely no sense that Fury would REQUEST a flat fee for what would be the biggest domestic showdown in the UK's history.

Also, Hearn never offered Wilder 60-40. He said "we will be making that offer", but has yet to make it. And considering that fury has somehow been forced into mandatory positioning for Wilder, his offers mean nothing

That's what Fury wanted. Hearn said he can have either. So makes no difference.

Means nothing? How so. Unification takes precedence over a mandatory. Are you new to boxing?
