Every time.Just me or is this thread dreadful whenever either Fury or Joshua fight?
Yep peopleJust me or is this thread dreadful whenever either Fury or Joshua fight?
We went through this the other week. You make out as if Fury had a chance to pursue Wilder or pursue Joshua and chose Wilder. In reality, it wasn't quite that straight forward, as Joshua and Hearn stated numerous times AJ was only interested in becoming undisputed and wouldn't fight Fury without a belt. So to face Joshua he would either need to beat Wilder or become mandatory challenger.I get that i’m critical and i hang on points and at the time i would have hing on the fact that Tyson had never defended belt but that was a fact for i accept a few reasons and at the time Wilder had defended against a rank of opponent that was improving
at the end of the Wilder was a easier fight to make/get to that Joshua as i’ve said and i dont think that can be disputed ! I’ve already accepted cherry picking wasnt the best way to put it !
Wilder definitely cherry picked Fury though !
Quick question, is Hughie Fury related to Tyson ?We went through this the other week. You make out as if Fury had a chance to pursue Wilder or pursue Joshua and chose Wilder.

Joshua's next mandatory after beating Povetkin in September 2018 was Pulev in December 2020. Pulev became mandatory by beating Hughie Fury in 2018 and has beaten Bogdan Dinu (ranked 75th) and Rydell Booker (ranked 114th) since.
In what way is that a harder route than Wilder, Schwarz, Wallin, Wilder, Wilder?
They're cousins. Tyson also has a brother called Hughie though and an uncle Hughie who died.Quick question, is Hughie Fury related to Tyson ?
Ah I see, very interesting - thank youThey're cousins. Tyson also has a brother called Hughie though and an uncle Hughie who died.
He's fighting on Saturday in Newcastle against Christian Hammer, who Tyson beat in 2015. Hughie's dad Peter trained Tyson for years until they fell out.
This you?
No way will he retire, he will want unification. And then he should do what a real champion does.....defend your title against all who challenge you.I have a strange feeling Fury may retire, there’s no one to fight. He’ll not be interested in fighting Whyte, waiting for Usyk may take a year.
Him and Wilder will be in similar positions. Obvious thing would be for them to fight each other, potentially one last big pay day for the loserIf Joshua gets beat by Usyk again, what’s next for him?
It’ll be something like 3 losses in his last 5 fights I think if he gets beat again in the rematch.
I see Whyte has a rematch clause against Wallin, stuff like this seems so unnecessary and kills the sport imo - basically Wallin needs to win twice just to progress, equally if Whyte needs the safety net of a rematch he shouldn't be fighting for a world tittle next, i'm sure someone will answer this but why did Whyte have a rematch against Povekin (after getting rendered unconscious) to begin with?
Its not about ranking Pulevs opponents to Fury’s comeback though is it ?!?We went through this the other week. You make out as if Fury had a chance to pursue Wilder or pursue Joshua and chose Wilder.

As it was said the other week Fury was given/took the quicker route to a title shot with the WBC and Wilder rather than ‘ earn ‘ that shot with other governing bodies which would have had him fight eliminators with Whyte or the likes !
