    Joshua is 1-1 (NOMAS7) with 25-1 underdog Andy Ruiz and 0-2 with ex-cruiser Usyk.

    Compare how easily Fury beat Joshua's 1st and 3rd best wins to Joshua's life and death.

    Post-Franklin, A-side Joshua will have fought just one puncher (shopworn Povetkin) in his last nine fights.

    What about the resumés of Carlito Takam, Joey twelve Parker and Andy Ruiz? Compared to say a Daniel Dubois

    I think 60-40 is a fair split, Fury sells more tickets and is the bigger draw.

    If Usyk doesn't take this fight, where does he go? Wilder in the United States is the only other fight that would generate him some serious money.

    Andy Ruiz who also beat the best opponent Wilder beaten. That ex cruiser is greatest CW of all time.
    Are you saying AJ went life and death against Whyte? I didn't have Whyte winning a round against AJ whilst I had Whyte winning 3 against Fury (granted very close rounds).

    You also need to consider McDermott schooled Fury and would have loss on his record if it wasn't for Terry O'Connor incompetent judging.


    Fury and AJ both have same best win in Wlad. AJ has also beaten Povetkin, Parker, Ruiz, Whyte and Pulez.

    Fury second best opponent he has beaten is Whyte and third is Wilder(all AJ opponents I named above are better than Wilder).

    Have a look at round 2 between Joshua and Whyte.

    If you have Whyte winning three rounds against Fury then I suggest you make an urgent appointment with your optician.

    Where Whyte landes a good shot against AJ and AJ is back in control of the fight within 10 second? It was Whyte best round but still AJs round.

    Is fury wanting an arbitrary amount he feels he deserves rather than a split the problem? Don’t get that thinking from him the fights worth what it can generate, if it doesn’t generate that amount that’s how it is. It’ll still be millions upon millions of pounds. Once you get to the realms of tens of millions how much does money really matter.

    Travesty if this fight doesn’t happen and don’t think it’ll be the fault of usyk and his team if it doesn’t.

    Imagine if this was Joshua doing what Fury did. The British forum would be going into Joshua and Hearn specifically. There is still some time for the fight to happen but it is looking increasingly unlikely right now.

    I am going to be furious at Fury should this fight not happen.

    This is a once in a generation opportunity to go down as an all time great holding all 4 belts in the division for the first time and it does not happen because of the split of the millions and millions on the table!!!!!!

    Enough to make one stop watching boxing at times.

    Fury's a cnt. Plain and simple. Any goodwill he generated after the David Haye pullouts from their fights has been slowly eroded due to his behavior and hypocrisy. He's the complete opposite of a true fighting man who means what he says. He's far from that.

    I don't doubt his in ring skills though. Top boxer.

    I think Warren is probably frustrated with Fury too. The only positive for him is that Dubois may get an opportunity against Usyk potentially or for a vacant belt in the summer. Undisputed will not happen this year.

    Whyte didn't win a single minute VS Fury to say he won 3 rounds is nonsense.

    Fury does seem to be up to his usual tricks off messing everyone about. It's tiring and boring.

    Joshua did this to Fury years ago when he wouldn't give fury 50 50. Joshua was the clear A side at the time. Splits always get in the way of big fights. People acting like its the first time or something. Fact is usyk doesn't deserve 50 50.

    I think he does as holder of three of the four belts on the line.
