Any decent HW would have destroyed Valuev. He only existed because of the timing where he lived in the weak Klitscho HW timeframe. He wouldn't have survived 6 rounds in the ring with Lennox Lewis. Bowe or Bruno. he would have been competitive with the weaker HWs of this era like Vlad, Vitali, Wilder. Fury. Butterbean would have been able to compete with them as well.
No matter the reason, Fury is a coward for pulling out after saying he would never pull out even if he went blind and shitting on everyone for picking and choosing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2hAR5hHY5s
Yeah. They need to switch to that HYPE-WEED that Frank's been filling his pipe with for the last 15 years.:hat
I believe fury would have lost this fight, and he was frightened by unistovs physical stature. That's the true reason the fight is off.
It just doesn't 'feel' right...like Robney said, a soft touch and Fury goes ahead with the fight. I don't rate Ustinov, but he was prepared, and a 'big lump' as Fury himself said. Fury clearly was expecting an Ustinov in crap shape. So until I hear more, I'd say it is a convenient excuse.
Fury The Fighting Man.......What a joke. He will fight anyone he can intimidate but put a real tough guy in with him and his bottle goes.
