    No IMO. He is a fighting man and I believe he would fight anyone. His promotor on the other hand didn't fancy it for one reason or another, probably because he fears losing his biggest draw at domestic level.

    If Fury wanted the fight he could have got the fight. They want the train to go on for as long as possible and anything in their way they will dodge until there is BIG money to be made.

    By 'they' do you mean Fury or Mick?

    I have no doubt Mick ducked the fight. But I don't think Fury would have turned the fight down had the purses been agreed.

    I'm in agreement with most. I don't believe Fury ducked the fight. But Hennessey has done.

    Yes, Fury has the pull to make this happen. All he has to say is I'll leave and Mick will do as he says. Every promoter would sign Fury if he left Mick. He didn't let it go to purse bids, why.

    Clear ducking.

    I am happy to wait and see who he fights next before labeling him. Even if he faces someone deemed not worthy he faced Chisora who was the UK's number 1, its hardly his fault he didnt turn up in shape.

    Just the small matter of a contract in the way.

    Obviously, but start the ****, refuse to fight, cause troubles. He wouldn't be the first to do it to get a big fight. It would put other promoters on red alert and they would all want to sign him.

    Refuse to fight? That's not going to help anything.

    Why leave the only promoter who can give you terrestrial tv coverage? Not going to happen.

    For big fights, to not lose your belts, because he isn't doing his job...
