My point is this. Fury will take the path of least resistance. And he's been doing it for a long time now. Kabayel is exactly that, the lowest rated guy in the top 15 WBC heavyweights. Plus he's undefeated too. If Fury was a real champion and a true fighting man, he would challenge himself and fight Hunter or Rivas. Follewed by Martin or Ajagba. But he won't. And fight fans like yourself will give him another pass like you did with Wallin, Schwarz, Pianetta and Sefari. Kabayel has no reason to be fighting foe the WBC belt and I'm sure if Ortiz, Ruiz and a couple of other guys were offered the fight, they would take it with both hands, even though they have another fight lined up. They would get out of that other fight, and fight for the belt in a heartbeat. But the way it is set up now, it's easy for Fury and Arum to say " we can only choose guys who don't have a fight lined up already". It's all crap.
@Tyistall you talk pure ****. You"re a massive Fury hater. Fury has beaten Wladimir Klitschko and Deontay Wilder that's two excellent wins.
Who has Wallin beaten to considered better? Martin and even Ajagba (who I don't particularly rate since Kiladze) have better resumes. He went the distance with Granat who Dimitrenko KOed in the first round.
No one, however it's based on the eye test from what I've seen. He has solid fundamentals.. good skills and speed for a big man, annd he has a big heart and good chin, he gave Fury one of his toughest fights. Ajagba( who hasn't beaten anyone either) wouldn't win a second of any round against Fury! Ajagba is literally just a puncher, slow, crude, poor defence, chinny.. he's getting exposed the second he steps up.
So, what are you saying ? Are you saying Tyson Fury has so much faith in the accuracy of the WBC's top 15 that he's 100% sure Kabayel is the worst of the lot ?? So he'll fight him. Really ? That seems to be what you are driving at. Are you saying Ajagba and Martin must be better ? That Kabayel is a "bum" but those two aren't ? I don't give Fury a pass. But he was going to fight Wilder again and they are now looking for an opponent to get in the ring in 8 weeks time. Many of the WBC top 15 are lined up for other fights. Ortiz and Ruiz are coming off bad losses and long lay-offs. They are also, I believe, Haymon fighters and Haymon is involved in trying to bar Fury from fighting before Wilder 3 ! Well, people get sued if they break contracts. If Povetkin ducked out of the Whyte rematch, for example, and chose to sign to fight Fury instead .... you really think that wouldn't be a massive headache and a massively risky move for all concerned ? Seriously ?
The fact of the matter is that Agit Kabayel is 20-0 with a fairly easy win over Chisora in his only real test. He's a mediocre challenger on paper but nowhere near as bad as some have been making him out to be. There are less proven guys like Dubois, Hrgovic and Ajagba rated above him on those WBC rankings. People talk about Rivas, but Rivas only has a win over Jennings as a career highlight.
Well actually, if you put it to the third fight, it does line up well hahaha. Except now it's Fury that is looking to fight the #15 WBC heavyweight.
Ajagba is crap, but he also has power, which is why he will not get the fight. And Wallin again??? You guys love to pump up Fury's bums don't you?
Ajagba is not that much better than Kabayel, but the difference is Ajagba has power and they have kept guys with power away from Fury for years now. Sefari, Piantetta, Wallin, Schwarz,...name one of those guys with powerful hands? You can't. Wilder had power but he was also an amateur skill wise and his competition level sucked. If this were AJ and he was fighting Pianetta, Schwarz, Wallin, Sefari and now Kabayel, you guys would all lose your $hit bashing him every day. But since it's Fury, it's OK??? And why does no one ever bring up the fact that Fury is a PEDs cheat?
Lol...takes the path of least resistance but has gone into his opponents back yard 3 times in world title shots. Kabayel and Wallin are both better than Charles 'sit on the floor and miss the count' Martin and Ajagba who is garbage.
Fury beat Wilder (twice really) and Wladimir Klitschko, so he's faced and beat at least a couple of good punchers. Yes, Seferi was awful, Pianeta was bad, Schwarz was bad. Wallin wasn't a big hitter but he gave Fury a tougher fight than Klitschko did. You're crazy if you think Fury will duck Ajagba because they fear Ajagba's power. Fury-Kabayel is not a good fight, but the way things have gone this year it is okay, yes. I won't be buying it on PPV. The thing is, you clearly hate Fury.
I don't believe this was Fury 100% and fully focused though. Fury didn't look right at the beginning of this fight, and didn't start really trying until he got angry at Wallin for poking his cut. That wasn't a fully fit, fully focused Fury. If Fury is at the level he was vs Wilder 2 then it will not be very close. After the first part of the fight, Wallin had nothing and Fury won by a strong UD.
