I think Fury was right not to face Wilder immediately

I also think Fury done the right thing. Why fight on showtime again as the B Side and get robbed on the cards again.

Wilders team should have got this re match over the line ASAP, there is only one of them that's going to improve in the next 12-18 months and it will nit be wilder imo.

 

Fury needs to get those big fights soon, his reflexes will fade with age and he's already in his 30s.
Those quick reactions, great legs and evasive skills won't be there forever and when they fade he will be a big target for the big punchers in the division, with not that much firepower to keep them off.

 

Dam right that , lucky to . Fury brain can't take a wack , he remind's me of Michael Moore .

 

I don't think it's worth judging that version of Fury that fought Wilder. He wasn't ready, at all. Everybody was shocked when he took the fight one or two fights earlier than we had all been expecting. We all thought it was too early beforehand, so why would we change that opinion now?

I still think there's more to come. And I think his next fight will just shake off more of the weight and more of the rust. I think after this one, he should fight a top 15 opponent. Then after that fight Wilder, then AJ.

Remember, this Fury only trained at Big Bear for a small length of time. This time he'll be doing it again probably, his stamina will get even better and more weight will come off.

Fury still has some serious work to do and people shouldn't lose sight of that.

 

The reason why Wilder took the fight was because Fury looked like dog shart in his 2 come back fights and Wilder needed a name on his resume. The fact that the cherry pick very nearly went wrong is testament to Fury's hard labours in Fat Camp and Wilder just being not very good. Unfortunately, from this point in , neither Wilder or Fury are getting any better than their previous best so whenever this fight gets made going forward, it's a calculated risk for both to take.

 

Then you have Nelson vs. Fenech. McGirt vs. Warren. If Fury was not motivated, then it was a good thing he didn't fight him Wilder has the whole fight to land in 12 rounds, so Fury has to be perfect all 12 rounds. Wilder does not. Tougher for Fury. Fury is not a huge puncher so he has to pick his spots and fight perfectly inside and pick perfectly in timing. But if he can beat Joshua in the case Joshua stops Wilder, Fury is on top. .

 

As a boxing fan I wish he had taken the rematch, I wan't to see the best fight the best.

But having said that, I'm not going to pretend that I wouldn't done the same had I been in the same position. I mean look at his options, fight Wilder again, who has already robbed you once, on another PBC/Showtime card where the chance is you need to KO to win or get $20 mill for fighting Tom Schwarz as part of a 5 fight £80 mill deal. I mean it's a no brainer really especially as he might of gotten less than $20 mill for fighting Wilder. Fact is money drives the sport in most cases and Fury is no different to anyone else in that money can sway his choices.

 

I think he was wrong from a legacy standpoint, Tyson "not doing it for the money" Fury did it right from a money standpoint.
Pretty sure the rematch will never happen now, as we have opposing networks and the big money fight for Wilder is Joshua, not the Fury rematch. Sure part of the deal would be that Fury fights either Wilder or Joshua after a couple of tune-ups, but pretty sure that will eventually turn out to be Joshua instead.
Also bad for boxing, the big 3 with 3 rival networks/services.
