    Ducked the rematch with Wlad. Ducked the rematch with the devastating bronze bomber. Watch him duck Dimitrenko because he's around the same height!

    It will be interesting to know the level of opponent he is thinking of.

    If he is not sufficiently motivated there could well be a big upset.

    Went to Germany & beat Klitschko. Won unified alphabet belts & Lineal H/W Championship.

    Went to America & successfully defended Lineal H/W Championship against top American.

    Will likely be facing a fighter who has never been stopped inside the distance next start.

    Sounds okay to me.

    Fury already beat Wilder, unlike Joshua.

    Funny how all this happens after Joshua has signed to fight Miller. Fury and Wilder's excuse for not talking to Hearn/Joshua was that they were fighting each other. Now they're ducking each ofher as well as Joshua. Hilarious. Don't want to derail the gravy train...

    Inevitable I guess, with what Arum was saying. Obviously it's not what anyone expected but thinking over recent events it kind of makes sense. He took the first fight when many didn't think he could perform anywhere near his best again and when Joshua wouldn't entertain a fight with him until he fought someone decent so I guess Warren thought it was easier to take a risk and fight Wilder and make a good payday than fight a decent contender make less money and perhaps lose. It was a calculated risk and it paid off big time for Warren and Fury.

    Now after the controversial draw and ESPN offering him staggering sums of money, he's no longer is a position where he has to take risks. He can sit on his lineal belt and make huge money for his next 5 fights. I don't think Fury is scared of fighting Wilder at all, especially as he really beat him when not 100%, but Warren and those around him will be telling him to take advantage of his current popularity, make as much money as possible.

    It's easier to take risks when you have less to lose, but when you're the one with something to lose and you still take risks, that's when it's far more impressive.

    Fury ducked. End of story. Didn't want anymore of that satanic power. If anyone refuses this idea then they aren't being objective. Fact.

    If it waddles like a duck and quacks like a duck there’s only one word to call it.

    DUCK.

    Wilder took his soul in the twelfth. Fury don’t want that smoke.

    Fury nuthuggers have a very poor understanding of math..........a draw is a draw is a draw.........same people who claimed TKO6 was a "win"......same idiots who claimed May lost vs Castillo............history is never kind for those truly challenged individuals.

    For the simply minded, in boxing there is a un dec/maj dec/split dec and a draw......and good ol TKO/KO.....judges decisions are final......the end.

    And Fury barely got a draw

    For years this board produced 24528713962 posts calling Wilder a bum, fraud etc etc....................so how come Fury is not finishing that Fraud,.........hell, some arm chair pistoleros on this board can do it so how come Fury is running for the Hills? LOL, I get it, he already "beat " him,.........the intellectual honesty on this board is mind boggling..

    I guess Fury is having nightmares from the 12th.............he knows he aint getting up from a similar shot twice....

    Hopefully the AJ vs Fury fight happens after AJ is done with Miller .I have money bet on that fight big time
