    Those rankings are like putting names on scraps of paper into a jar, shaking jar for a few seconds then closing your eyes and putting hand in jar to select a piece of paper.

    I think it boils down to Fury wanting money. Greedy yes but so is everyone involved in the sport.

    Behave. How can you celebrate someone pulling out of purse bids?

    So he’s a liar then? How many times did he say he weren’t about the money?

    He’s either greedy or a **** house. Wilder took his soul in the twelfth, he doesn’t want that smoke again.

    Fury has no obligation or duty to take the rematch. He has already travelled to America to fight the champion and by popular opinion beat him. I don't understand your rhetoric on Fury not taking the rematch, if you had won a fight and were jobbed on the cards would you go straight back for more? Also why is he not entitled to string this out for more money is that not what your man Joshua is doing with Wilder?

    So why not reclaim what’s rightfully yours!

    It’s not just the 12 round, we know Wilder has freakish power, so even the punches Fury partially blocked or took on the arms etc must have felt like he was being hit with a hammer especialy the days afterwards when the adrenaline had long worn off.

    I’m not going to go after Fury for this decision, as he was brave enough to take the 1st fight. Plus of course he got a slightly raw deal on the cards, which may well have happened again if a rematch went the distance.

    I mean surely they must call his mandatory now. Am not fussed on either breazele or whyte although I do think whyte has more of a chance to win.

    And been slated for it by Fury fan boys!!!

    And we heard all these great numbers the first fight done and how the rematch was going to be even more so if it’s about money why not take the rematch?

    In a completely different state with different judges? Or how about trying to get the fight in the UK or a neutral country then.

    Obviously they want to build it up to make more money. Arum has been pretty clear about that already.

    Let’s see how it plays out. If we get the Fury Wilder rematch later on this year. I want the best fighting the best so this is extremely disappointing. If any of that trio don’t fight each other by the end of the year it’s sad.

    Come on, he wasn't robbed, we've been over this point many times on the forum.
    After the two 10/8 rounds you only have to give wilder three rounds for the draw. It wasn't a robbery. I felt Tyson won it by a round but he wasn't robbed. I've even heard people saying round 12 should of been a 10/ 10 round. No way. A 10/10 round when one fighter has taken a knockdown should only be awarded if , for the other 2min 50 seconds he knocked the opponent round the ring, or totally dominated. Tyson did neither if them in the 12th

    He has better boxing fundamentals no doubt but Wilder’s power is the equaliser and more.
