    Wrong, but we can argue like children.

    If Usyk really wants Fury next, there will be a step aside fee paid to Hrgovic. He’s not a huge name so it shouldn’t be bad and probably would rival or exceed Hrgovic’s highest payday.

    I don't give a damn about Joshua, but his resume is better than Fury or Wilder's.

    No it isn't.

    Fury has a better Waldo and Wilder.

    The likes of Parker or old Povetkin are hardly better than that.

    A worse Wlad, who was distracted and going through hell with Hayden whats her name. He looked like garbage against Jennings, which is why Fury took the fight.

    Sure. An active champ Wlad was worse than an older 2 years inactive Wlad.

    Fury has the better win, he dethroned Wlad. That ain't debatable.

    Did Fury influence the governing bodies to become mandatory after the Jennings fight? Should he have turned down the fight with the consensus p4p #2 at the time?

    Talk about rewriting history.

    Agree

    Great point

    Yes, no one knows Hrgovic, so he should be willing to get paid off to step aside, and also, let him face the winner ( after any rematches are resolved. Win-win situation for all involved

    Fury won a stinker no one deserved to win. Ali got beaten way worse on multiple occasions and was given the win. Foreman too, vs Schulz, and craploads of others, you used to have to take the belt, decisively.

    He ducked an eliminator previous to that.

    Usyk is getting stopped all day and he knows it. Fury's to big and to good for him, it'll be train running over a Golf.

    He won every round convincingly, arguably white washed Wlad, stinker or not.

    Fury was Wlad's mandatory that Wlad had tried avoiding as long as possible, that's why the fight was taken you Muppet.

    This guy is an outright liar and has no shame in it. I don't think Fury is an atg unbeatable heavyweight with no character flaws by any means but this guy is plain lying to make him seem much worse than he actually is.

    Fury fought three different title eliminators so that's just false in so many ways. His fights with Johnson, the 2nd Chisora one and against Cunningham were all title eliminators.
