    I doubt he would get ridiculed if he loses. Fury, Usyk, AJ and wilder are the only serious heavyweights, the rest are all bums.

    Eh outside of Usyk, AJ is the best currently, so no chance in cherry picking. But Fury does definitely stack everything in his favor, and take the fight, when AJ is on his all time LOW. But AJ is still in his prime, and with a good camp that confidence will be up.

    Fury is definitely handicapping AJ though with the December 3rd date, but that will backfire.

    People won't believe their eyes when AJ stops Fury with ease!

    Only in Fury favor. No rematch if AJ loss.

    Again, no. The rematch is only if Fury is to lose and the split is 50-50.

    Bizarre take. Joshua is the best fighter around not named Usyk that Fury hasn’t fought.

    If this is a cherry pick, what on earth could you call Wilder’s selection of Fury in 2018?!

    Thankfully. Oluwafemi isn't on an equal footing, and we don't need him holding up the Fury-Usyk show upon taking a third consecutive L.


    Just noticed that avatar. :lol:

    Are you sure about that? He's getting criticized for even fighting him. I'm with you though, as long as he fights Usyk after he can go ahead and retire.

    That's what I mean. Maybe cherry picking is too far but Fury is Handicapping everything in his favor by fighting Joshua now.

    Fury really has bent Joshua over a table and butt-****** him with this contract. Although the 60/40 is pretty decent. Escort instead of hooker...

    That fight won't happen, cause AJ will end up Fury badly. The only question is will Fury be brave enough to rematch AJ, after the severe beating AJ is going to give him ?

    Watching Usyk fans cheerlead for Joshua so that Usyk can bathe in the reflected glory is very entertaining.

    It's not just that. It's because they are afraid that Fury will beat Usyk, possibly by demolition. There's no other reason why they were hoping that Whyte would beat Fury.

    Yes Fury has everything to lose in terms of status and career legacy at this point
    but it's a great payday

    all credit to him if this comes off

    It's definitely NOT a cherry pick. Joshua is in his prime, is the former IBF, WBA and WBO world champion, and is currently a top 5 heavyweight according to The Ring, ESPN, Transnational, BoxRec, etc.

    It's an excellent heavyweight matchup, one I've wanted to see for years.
