Why no talk of AJ V Fury

Fury v Tony Dosh £99.99 PPV - bring it on

 

if Fury wins wouldn't surprise me if he never fights again

 

Surely not. Not another episode of a champion making zero defences.

 

Apart from the one quality fighter in Ortiz (who nearly stopped him)....which of his other 38 opponents commands genuine respect in the world heavyweight scene at the time of their fight?

I like Wilder, he has a dangerous right hand, a good chin and he’s a real athlete but there’s no getting away from it, his record is seriously padded. Not of these opponents are on Fury’s level, they’re nowhere near.

Here’s another way of looking at it, would any of those opponents have beaten someone like Whyte or Chisora? I mean even Dave Allen beat Wilder’s 30th opponent.

We know why Fury isn’t being considered for AJ. Hearn wants nothing to do with it.

 

Win or loose I seriously think this is Fury's last fight.

 

Agreed. The dicking around Hearn will make Fury do for a Joshua match if he gives Wilder a boxing lesson will be on unprecedented levels.

There is absolutely no way Eddie is going to risk his biggest MR golden-goose being put out of the fray to OG Frank's outfit.

 

Because fury isn’t really to AJs taste what with him not being any of the requisite ****/fat/old/retired/shot/midgetfor the sky addicts to gawp up at on the Wembley jumbotrons

 

Loose? What the hell

 

Fury's two of these actually, fat and shot.

 

It truly is bizarre. Take any measurement other than sticking a finger in the air, and Joshua is a complete anomaly in boxing terms.

If people insist on taking it outside of boxing and into the mainstream, he has 7.6m instagram followers. Personally I don't get what is so compelling about his instagram feed, but he has way more followers than the likes of Andy Murray, Rory McIlroy, or even Novak Djokovic. He even has more than the England football captain and Golden Boot winner. You have to go pretty high up the totem pole to get greater followings; he's not far off Lewis Hamilton and Kobe Bryant.

If Bruno had been capable of filling out Wembley, he'd have done it on at least one occasion. As it is, 4 of the largest 10 British fight attendances have been filled by Joshua fights. Regardless of where he goes from here, is anyone really going to look back on his career and see him as a flash in the pan?

 

I'd actually **** myself if he wins and doesn't fight again, Hearn would spontaneously combust at the payday missed out on
