    I am a big Fury fan but suspect AJ beats the version of Fury he is now happy to present to us...

    Usyk 3 confirmed then….

    It is all so tiresome. Again; the interviews from this week gave away that- ofcourse, the GK is not retired. If he comes back he better take on some real challenge. Usyk 3 is unnecesary but id still Watch. Only other options are AJ, Dubois and Kabayel imo. Well probably get served with Whyte 2 or Helenius is my guess.

    I think Fury knows deep down he hasn't the power to unsettle Aj and as good as Fury is recovering from shots, it isn't what it was. If Aj hurts Fury like usyk did in the first fight? I don’t think Fury recovers

    Fury doesn't view himself as a huge favourite that's for sure. Aj would sign the contract right away

    Makes sense. Pulev is about par for the course for Tyson Fury.

    You might appeal to the people who have zero context - but saying this after he tried to put Dubois in Usyk's way, got a "cut" on his 360p quality camera footage, ducked and dodged for 2 years is not honest.

    I'd honestly rather see Pulev, which is a reasonable tune-up, rather than Usyk 3, which just pushes put more deserving fighters.

    You could see it that way. It would definitely be in his top ten, which stands now at something like...

    WladKlit
    Wilder II
    Wilder III
    Chisora 1
    Whyte
    Chisora III
    Chisora II
    Cunningham
    Wallin
    Kingpin Johnson

    A fight so bad at this stage it's comedy.
    But it hasn't been made yet.
    And let's not rewrite history and pretend Fury ducked everyone now.

    Some reality:
    Tried to fight Haye x 2. Haye pulled twice with cut/injury.
    Fought Wlad at 26 years old (even Povetkin delayed that until his 30s). Didn't rematch, but was also crazy.
    Wilder x 3, almost KO'd in two of those. Favoured to be KO'd in the first two.
    Usyk x 2.

    Also fought Whyte who people considered good at the time.
    Offered the AJ fight twice and it was AJ/Hearn who wouldn't get 50/50 and then wouldn't accept not controlling the promo.
    Offered Ruiz a fight even and Ruiz wanted too much money.

    People claimed he was going to duck the Wilder rematch, Whyte, Usyk, then the Usyk rematch.
    What happened? He showed up to every one.

    Let Fury earn his shot by beating someone like Dubois, Kabayel, or Parker (I know they said they wouldn't fight) and prove he deserves to be there imo.
    Fury - Kabayel
    Usyk - Parker
    Winners v winners.

    He fought him twice when it mattered and you guys still cry about ducking. Again, why would he fight a SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER FIGHTER twice (three times if you include champion Vlad, maybe four for prime Wilder?) then duck the big money easier fight. Take the fanboy goggles off.

    I was just thinking that Pulev must have been freeze-dried to still be around after all this time. I hope they thaw him out properly.

    With exciting fighters like Kabayel, Dubois, Itauma all available. Serving us up the reheated turgid Bulgarian Bouncer is a real insult.

    Tyson Fury truly takes the Boxing fans for mugs.
