Fury admits he is avoiding Usyk

Fury got his belts whilst failing test
And was also beaten off big mc
That should have been a rebuild
Instead they robbed john
And cried about a bit of sponge on a ring floor whilst taking no nandrlone to help him get that lineal win
Like khan it's all smoke and mirrors

 

Not a shot at the OP, but is just more shoddy reporting. No where in these stories is anyone from the WBC quoted that Fury could be stripped. It's just an opinion piece and not actually news.

 

They will find a way.

Fury will fight Kabayel or Ajagba and end of the story

 

Would Usyk still wanna fight Fury if WBC stripped Tyson?

 

IBO>WBC

 

If the WBC stripped Fury and gave Wilder the belt then Usyk would still fight Fury

1. Money
2. Wilder KO's him in 2 seconds

 

Usyk TKO Fury RD minus 1

 

The change in narrative that Fury and his fanboys have touted over the last year is truly something else:

12 months ago: Fury is a fighting man and wants the fight for the sake of legacy and glory, but Usyk is afraid and ducking him.

6 months ago: Usyk made too many demands (after going along with 70-30 but wanting to keep the rematch clause that Fury himself had insisted on to start with).

Now: He doesn't fear Usyk and would win easily if in shape, but just can't be bothered.

 

I don't agree being Lineal champion is prestigious and Fury did beat the best Heavyweight of his era in Wladimir Klitschko, and also beat the most dangerous puncher of the modern era in Wilder who was the number 2 or 3 Heavyweight so he was deserving of the Lineal championship.

Arguing that Fury should be stripped of the title for his recent antics which he should IMO, doesn't take away that Fury was the deserving Lineal champion and beat the actual man for that claim of the Lineal championship.

Yes there has been a few weaker Lineal Champions you brought up Briggs, but he got a gift decision against an old Foreman. But still Foreman did beat Moorer who beat Holyfield for Lineal championship so he was still deserving of that Lineal championship. Briggs not so much because his decision over Foreman was considered a robbery, but I think at that point they wanted Foreman out the sport because he wasn't going to defend against any marquee names because of his advanced age.

Finally fighters like Tunney, Louis, Liston, Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Holmes, M.Tyson, were Lineal champions so it does have a rich history.

Because Fury still has a reputation that would look good on a resume, and Usyk thinks he'd beat him (and I think he would).

 

Most Fury fans, yes.

To be fair min-IQ hasn't changed...
12 months ago: Gypsy dong tastes great.
6 months ago: Gypsy dong still tastes great
Now: Still can't get enough.

 

I reckon it's the man who has to live up to the prestige of his predecessors.

a) Tunney went up from 175 to fight and beat Jack Dempsey twice. A miracle for a career LHW, though naturally with the circumstances of Dempsey being inactive, and the long count being controversial.
b) Louis went after and beat every man to claim the belt after Tunney retired (Schmelling, Sharkey, Carnera, Baer, Braddock) and took on numerous contenders.
c) Liston terrorized the entire division before crushing Patterson. His reign unofficially started a long time before Floyd agreed to get into the ring.
d) Ali has insane amount of names on his resume. Reigned in two different eras.
e) Frazier went through the post-exile heavyweight division and cemented his legacy with the single most iconic heavyweight win in FotC.

.. and so on.
