    I was thinking this earlier. They're trying to build AJ towards a 'mega fight' in a stadium vs Whyte next year. That will have all the hype and hoo-ha surrounding it as a supposedly legitimate contest. Worthy of your PPV cash. Except there's only problem. Whyte is fat and sh**. He's Chisora level and if Chisora had less miles on the clock he'd do him. So whilst there are no arguments that this is a rubbish fight it's clear that Fury does attract an undeserved level of derision.

    There is no one who can defend Fury vs Chisora III.

    It's not about mandatories why people viewed Whyte v Fury as a massive fight. We all know Whyte and Chisora are similar quality. I'm not saying this is a great fight, far from it. Just feel there are alot of double standards on show.

    Agree, but importantly we all knew that Fury would beat Whyte with ease too.

    I don't understand why Chisora is well loved, he's an idiot, he talks like an idiot, he acts like an idiot and he often fights like an idiot.

    In Mitch's world if I dug up Muhammad Ali's skeleton and knocked his skull off I'd be The Greatest.

    Because he's getting paid millions time and time again when his ability and record doesn't warrant getting the fight/payday.

    we hadn’t seen Fury Whyte before, it’s not like anyone is calling for the rematch now.

    Whyte was also mandatory and Fury was coming off a gruelling fight with Wilder where he showed serious vulnerabilities too.

    Fury Chisora we’ve seen twice already and if you recall the boos from the bleachers you’ll also remember how uncompetitive it was.

    We’re expected to believe that Fury is the best in the world but he’s fighting a past best heavyweight who he’s already beaten twice and also has 12 losses on his record.. Give me a break..

    When the pay day is presented, he's taking the fights. Surely the same can't be said for others.
