    When Fury was not boxing he could not stop talking about AJ, saying he can beat AJ in his first comeback fight. Now that Wilder exposed his glass jaw. He wants nothing to do with AJ and will rather Wilder face AJ with the hope that Wilder beats AJ - So that he can the easy option.

    Why is he not calling out AJ? Fury should be calling out the champ for the April fight . The biggest fight out there is Fury vs AJ in the UK. It is the challengers job to call out the champ but coward Fury wants nothing to do with AJ.

    Lost all respect for Fury. Oh wait I already did when he took peds for his previous fights.

    Fury wants 50%....he knows he'll probably take an L and wants compensation for it. It's why he chose Wilder and declined Hearns offer. Not so much afraid as much as risk vs reward.

    Fury also knows Joshua will defeat Wilder at least now he does and knows if he can wait it out he'll get the Joshua fight if he's the only undefeated HW left, in which realistic negotiations will take place.

    Fury is a stylistic nightmare for Joshua.

    Because the bodybuilder beat the snot out of him in sparring. Fury's finished anyway, he's got second thoughts rematching the bronze bomber. Deontay softened him up with those 2 knockdowns, he's ripe for a devastating stoppage! He knows it, so does his team! Please Deontay finish him off, so we don't have to hear these daft Ali comparisons again. Lol.

    Cant see how anyone can say Fury has a glass jaw. He may have been knocked down before but he has always got up and after the 2nd KD against Wilder, Fury took a full swing from Wilder, possibly the biggest shot Wilder landed and Fury took it without a wobble.

    Juan Manuel Marquez was knocked down in some fights. I can think of about 7/8 times but always got up and had a good chin

    When Fury said he wants 60% vs AJ I was a little surprised no one picked up on that.

    Hopefully it's just mind games and posturing.

    ducking aj lol...? aj has less power then wilder... and is slower then wilder.... povetkin was hitting him with some shots.. a fit fury might embarrass Joshua... sorry. I like aj but after seeing fury vs wilder.. I don't think aj would have much of a chance just honest opinion... as for who I would be rooting for kinda netrual .

    A big problem when British boxers fight each other, the losing boxer is constantly reminded of the loss. There is no getting away from it. As a consequence, we have missed out on some good fights like Hatton - Witter and Calzaghe - Froch.

    For guys like Fury and Khan, they could probably handle losing to the likes of Wilder or Crawford, but lose to Joshua and Brook respectively, and they will constantly be reminded of it. As a result, it's easier for them to make unreasonable demands to avoid the fight happening.

    Wilder has good one punch power but is not a devasting finisher like Joshua. As for Wilders boxing ability it’s laughable. He was windmilling like crazy following the knockdowns with zero skill. Joshua flattens Wilder everyday of the week.

    Fury's UK Tour is a hindrance. Add to that he is promoted by Warren I do not see it happening for a while. No ducking just Fury being Fury
    I would not be surprised if Fury slips into oblivion again TBH

    People when fury ask for 60% for the Joshua fight? If he beats wilder first and wins the wbc belt and if the ppv does really well in which fury with his popularity in England could maybe get him 60% or 50% But since he got robbed vs wilder? He night let wilder fight Joshua and wait on the winner.

    Joshua does this , joshua does that, but in reality Juiceshua has the weakest resume of them three and he needs to step up.
