Would be a waste at that point. A foregone conclusion. I'd be interested in an AJ Haye fight now. AJ would be a solid favorite but I could see Haye making him work and sneaking a ko. If AJ beat Fury there'd be absolutely no doubt about a matchup vs Haye. Would rather see him work up to a Fury fight with interesting, lesser comp like Haye than rush into it. Plus, it would give him a better chance of beating Fury, which as it stands is unlikely.
Weak mandatory? Carlos Takam or Joseph Parker are hardly weak mandatory material. Hearn will probably try and secure a big money fight with someone British before the IBF mandatory date comings along (which is already set).
Wow! It actually is ppl in this forum that knows boxing! I agree with everything you said, I have no idea why everybody is so high on Fury, he's not that good at all!
I agree - apart from his flash in the pan win vs a scared 39yr old Wlad before that he done NOTHING...beat NOBODY of note. I half expect Wlad to kO Fury next time out....if not then we just know Wlad is shot and he should retire.
It will never happen in my view & one of the above comment is right that Hearn timing for Joshua is always good.
people need to calm down , he wont fight either before summer 2017 at the earliest , it will be a bunch of IBF feather fisted mando's for at least another year , hearn gonna milk off some easy money for a year or two just like hes doing with kell brook . standard procedure .
Maybe fury would be retired, because fury loses to wlad he doesnt win another fight. I think wlad retires either way, and only see wlad rematch because it's fury, the ONLY top name wlad has a chance to beat.. Fury gets destroyed by AJ, DW guaranteed. Even haye if he fought smart would beat the ever living sh!t outta fury. I do wonder how durable fury really is, I believe he's mentally strong, but can he really take clean hw shots from the best ??? I know personally, no matter how tough he is AJ destroys him in a total one sided destruction.. IDGAF how tough one is and how great their chin is. The tougher fury is and the better his chin the worse it is for him vs AJ. The skill gap is so large it's not a fight that makes me think under any circumstances does AJ not annihilate fury. Question is, does he end fury career or just khtfo quick. That's the only question for me. Fury could under perfect circumstances last to the late rounds vs haye and outlast him, but I doubt it, highly... Fury could still end up as a total joke of a champion. He could have a much weaker chin than even Martin, we know he goes down easier. Wlad not just retiring is ****ing up the hw division, he doesn't belong any longer Wtf, coffee has me rumbling. At least when rumbling you'll all learn who's the real deals and who's not, so pay attention when authority speaks
Nothing personal, but you're one of the crazy Haye adherents that really bother me. You're elevating Haye to a level even prime Haye didn't deserve, and Haye does not appear to be prime.
Will you please leave the forum permanently if Fury beats either Wilder or AJ, then? Since you guarantee it, it shouldn't be a problem. Also, not just leave under this name and come back as an alt, since I strongly suspect you are an alt of someone who was banned for racism many months ago, but leave.
I trust Eddie Hearn's instincts, if he can get to Fury first, then he puts all other fighters as underdog status, meaning he gets to control the Heavyweight landscape. Absolutely in AJ's best interests
