    Did you just compare glass hearted and glass jawed A Farce to the Lineal HW champion of the world Tyson Fury?

    Fights are judged on how big they are beforehand and not retrospectively.

    Lineal HW champion vs WBC HW champion thats huge

    It doesnt matter how it shakes out

    The card last night was ok but nothing special. Fury looked feather fisted like he has done for all his career. Frampton dominated someone who was not world class.
    The future fights I worry for Frank Warren. His big fighter Fury will get smashed by Wilder and then retire and Warrington will lose to Frampton so again Frank will have another defeated fighter (even tho Frampton is his fighter too)
    And please can people stop saying Hearn will look silly because Frank can make Fury/Wilder so easily. The only reason this was easy is because Wilder wants Fury. Wilder does not want AJ - he refuses to talk to Eddie and refuses to attend any AJ fights.

    If Wilder/Fury did not happen, Wilder would fight two more nobodies on American TV with little or no coverage over here. Fury would be fight two nobodies as well and getting crucified for it.

    No matter how the fight plays out, I cannot see how this is bad for boxing fans?

    Frank's done well to put on a show with any sort of relevance after a terrible start to the year.

    A congratulations is abit cringeworthy though, the whole boxnation fiasco has left a bitter taste in the mouth

    Bellend Vs Haye a bigger HW fight

    That’s a CW strap holder Vs a permanently injured semi retired HW.

    Now I know you are on the wind up.

    Well Haye told us he was up to the task too didn't he?

    The only people on the wind up are those actually trying to hype this fight up as being competitive...

    Wilder is hunting a wounded bull (like Bellow did)..

    Joshua doesn't attend any Wilder fights.
    Joshua turned down $50m to fight him.

    Imo Fury should fight Wilder in 2019. Can see it ending badly for him, one windmill blow from the bomber and it’s lights out.

    As I said what metric are we using? Are we saying biggest in revenue generated as I don't think it is.

    As for lineal HW champ v WBC champ? That's a nonsense.

    Nobody cares about some mythical lineal championship which doesn't exist. For arguments sake it does then it certainly doesn't belong to someone who retired from the sport.

    Yes for the 3rd time thats what I meant by big fight. Its big aswell connected to the lineal aspect because Fury was the first man to beat Wlad in 10 years, AJ was only feasting on his left overs.

    So this is legitimately bigger than any fight AJ is in, other than against one of these 2. As AJ doesnt want to fight, then its the biggest out there.

    I don't like Warden and don't dislike Eh day but hate his PPV pish.

    To be balanced both do the same thing with different fighters with the big exception that Eh day always pays.

    Bellew hunted a timid cat with no legs and only a mouth and tail for defence
