Aye. Was looking forward to it. Woods been thoroughly entertaining recently and Lara is still a bit of an unknown quantity.

Haway i’ve gone easy on the bloke for ages now havent I ?!?Of course you doubt it, it’s involving fury
The worst i’ve said is that Fury aint daft at his timing at finally directly calling out Joshua after the blokes had 3 defeats in 5 fights … not really debatable or slanderous
On the other hands terms agreed for Josh Kelly vs Troy Williamson

Its dependant on Troy winning at the weekend but nothings been released about a date yet, i’d presume early next year

Seems some on here will be really annoyed if it actually does go ahead.

I’m finding this thread bizarre these days its not just me that dares be critical of Fury ! I feel like my work here is done, even though it all started with a search for realism on the prospect of Hughie not Tyson
Whats peoples thoughts on Canelo vs GGG and Parker vs Joyce ?!?

Just watched Hearns latest IFL interview. He's very optimistic the fight is going to happen. I hope it does even though it will annoy alot of people.
Would love GGG to roll back the years and nack Canelo but can't see it happening.
Joyce Vs Parker should be fun. I'm expecting Joyce to win but not with any confidence.

Where ? Not seen it on here. Some including me have said they doubt it will happen ( lets be honest Fury comes out with loads of nonsense most of the time) but not seen people annoyed or not wanting it to go ahead.

Dont think Joyce v Parker will be a classic but think Big Juggernaut takes it on points.
Fury v Joshua actually makes a lot of sense now as both have to compromise. Fury would have preferred to get an undefeated AJ as I reckon he really fancies his chances against him and he makes a shed load of cash doing it. The prestige/money gained from an AJ fight wanes as Joshua's stock falls so sooner the better for Fury.
AJ meanwhile is getting an unbelievable chance to get another world title off the back of two defeats. They both need this fight pronto imo and if it's any good then we might get more than one.

Definitely Maybe

I don't think anyone doesn't want it to go ahead, but across social media there's definitely a feeling of 'It won't happen and it'll all be Fury's fault'. People have already made their minds up.

Well that's entirely my point...I don't see it happening but hope it does and hope I'm wrong.

Aye this was what I was trying to say but worded it badly.
Definitely Maybe
Striker
Well, yeah, I'll believe it when I see it. But have seen post after post (not necessarily on here) condemning Fury for it not happening. Was thinking 'hang on, it hasn't even fell through yet. AJ hasn't even accepted yet and you're blaming Fury for something that hasn't actually happened yet'.
If it falls through and it is apparent it is Fury's fault then fair enough, but at least wait until then.

Not pushing any pro or anti agenda for any fighter just a question about boxing to people that will know more than me !
Fury’s switch hitting and moving into a southpaw stance and back is one of his main ways of being a difficult opponent, so will facing Usyk and doing 24 rounds with ultimately a smaller, quicker, shorter fighter ( both Joshua and Fury have generally struggled against shorter opponents ) give Joshua a better chance of negating that tactic from Fury ?
I respect its another challenge dealing with a 6foot 9 bloke who weighs a lot more doing it !
If it happens i think Joshua puts in a much better effort than Whyte but i cant see him winning ( although he would have a smallish chance )
Decent points, passion and intelligence from Spencer Fearon here like !
Surprised with Usyk reportedly chasing Wilder for a fight in February like
