Bob has offered AJ step aside money so that Fury can fight a unification battle v Usyk, promising AJ first crack at the winner, should Joshua accept this offer? This content is protected
Never overlook a puncher, especially at heavyweight. Let Fury remain focused on Wilder, you can talk about Usyk and Joshua after he takes care of the business.
Big gamble Does Fury's ring IQ compete with Usyk's? We're all impressed with his head movement against the likes of Wilder and Sefer Smurfy but does he still look elite against a mover like Usyk?
Seems odd, Arum wouldn't pay Wilder step aside money for Fury to face Joshua but is willing to do so for Fury to fight Usyk. I suspect he knows Joshua won't accept. Fact is the rematch will probably be very lucrative, the Joshua/Ruiz rematch saw Joshua get a guarantee of $60 mill, Bob going to have to dig deep for that step aside money as it would mean Fury/Usyk get tied up in a 2 fight deal and Joshua is left side lined for a year until they are done.
AJ doesn't need more money. But I think it may suit AJ to take a tune up match before hand with a new trainer. But it's irrelevant. AJ will take his rematch, simple as.
I dunno what some new trainer might bring in there and why ppl think that A.J current trainer is not good? A.J is capable to box even for cards all 12 rounds in row. Depends from opponent, Usyk was too good, it is painful to admit, even if someone is elite, someone might appear to be better and there no place for shame. A.J also looked very confident vs Pulev and impressive until he had started to gas out after 3 rounds fought. A.J looked disciplined and skilled vs Ruiz in rematch. Everything is here to blame instead of seeing reality: Usyk was better and not enough old.
but how would jodhua know if hes lying today or tomorrow hold on to the rematch clause like fury wilder did trying to hold joshua to rsnsom and freeze whyte out
How many millions of step-aside money would that be?! Maybe more as Fury makes against Wilder this time around? We all know what's going to happen half a year from now... Hearn, Sky and the lot are all going to put out massive propaganda, about how Joshua is easily going to win the rematch and erase the loss from his resume. Ruiz II will be mentioned, Lennox Lewis' rematches will be mentioned (like that would be in any way relevant), and the Bri'ish regulars will buy into Joshua vs Usyk II as if it's a can't miss Greater Britain glory moment. The rematch is gonna be massive, This content is protected
Im sure Joshua can benefit from the extra rest, but how much step aside would be enough? We know greedy bob isnt that generous a man.
Furys ring IQ matches Usyk however he has physical limitations and also has the ability to turn any fight into a brawl which is very tempting if Usyk were to be outboxing him I'd expect Fury to put his foot down mid fight and never let off the gas. If Fury is tired then Usyk will be exhausted. Fury developing his offence game has never been more important, gives him more scope to deal with Usyk. Fury knows Usyk is the biggest threat, always had been which is why he stays quiet about him. Skills pay the bills. Usyk would need to be a little more mobile with Fury, he can risk taking shots off him though unlike a puncher like AJ who he managed to settle in front because AJ couldn't find a timing.
And then why i don't take Fury and his garbage team seriously. Next time don't ask me why, just look at Fury team and be quiet. He was talking big, that Hearn won't make the fight with Fury, and when Eddie makes it, somehow strangely, straight up in the same time Wilder won the arbitrage that Arum have swear that Wilder doesn't stand a chance to win. And why in the blue hell that old fart didn't offer Wilder step aside money then ???? What he did ? He literally goes into hiding and not show his face until all the drama winds up. Team Fury are pathetic.
With respect.. who would trust Bob Arum? Also, I am loving the fact they are looking past Wilder, taking the W for granted, it fills me with a little more confidence.
Well I hope he takes it, a unification fight between Usyk & Fury is so much more intriguing to me then a Usyk/Joshua rematch. The first fight was great don't get me wrong (I'm sure it will probably end up more exciting then a Usyk/Fury unification tbh) I'm just so intrigued to see the chess match unfold between Usyk & Fury's styles, and right now my intrigue outweighs what I already have seen even though it was a great fight and probably much more action packed then Usyk/Fury will be.
