    I think fury knows he's reached his limit now and is quite happy to fight bums and tick over until he's ready to get dropped and finished for the right money.

    Haye is far too quick and explosive for him = early ko
    Pulev is beatable on points but he won't come over.

    If it is a duck then it's no surprise as he's done it before, he's Mick's meal ticket & Mick can't afford the loss he'd get against Pulev. If he's going to lose you might as well make a fortune out of it by losing to Haye or Wlad.

    I wouldn't mind him so much if he kept quiet & just fought average & past their best fighters but he comes out & slates fighters he / his team aren't willing to fight.

    Hopefully Pulev gets made mandatory. Then Wlad will fight Povetkin & Pulev in his next 2 fights.

    I would imagine winner of Haye v Fury fights Vitali or winner of Banks v Mitchell for the vacant title.

    Mayweather v Canelo will be on BT Sport. People keep talking about the rivalry between BT & Sky but i think BT vs BoxNation will be the real rivalry.

    Don't you think Frank will end up on BT then? I thought that was what he was aiming for?

    Fair enough. You're entitled to your opinion mate, but when I listen to the dismissive nature of his attack on Chisora's credentials I can hear disdain in his voice. Although of course it's all conjecture.

    makes no sense to say that.....how can fury be ducking pulev...he isn't obliged to have to fight him.
    ducking him would be if fury was a champion and was getting out of a fight with no.1 challenger to him in pulev

    i'm no fan of fury really....but if he decides to fight haye for big money, then its not a bad decision and nothing wrong with it

    I don't think BT will do any domestic boxing. Simon Green is aware of what BoxNation pay for international fights and the number of subscribers its generates. They can pick up cheap figts from the US & Europe and gain a healthy subscriber base of Boxing fans.

    Notice Huck v Afoliabi isnt on BoxNation.

    Interesting, that would be a right kick in the balls for Frank if that were the case, I'm hoping they do still pick up the odd British card but on a card to card basis not a long term contract.

    Fury agreed to the Pulev fight, when he took on Cunningham. That was part of it. He confirmed he wanted to fight Pulev, after the fight with Cunningham. He bragged about beating him with ease and them putting an end to Wlad's reign. Then he ducked. Simples...

    I respectfully disagree, mate. It is ducking, especially given the big talk from Fury! Sad, as I was really looking forward to seeing the fight. However, if instead he takes on Hye, he'll at least prove he's not a chicken.
