Fury making excuses to avoid Usyk ?

He barely speaks ukrainian himself, until recently he always spoke in russian, which is his mother language and he still does with his team, just not in public.

 

Fury is no dummy. He knows AJ is the easier fight and would bring the most money.
Usyk is the tougher fight and brings less money.

 

If people are wondering what Fury will be doing after watching the DAZN card tomorrow morning, he’ll be in the church praying that Joshua beats Usyk in the rematch.

 

I'm not sure the money would be there if Fury were ducking AJ's two-time daddy to fight AJ.

 

What could you call the post Klitschko era in which we are not, and most likely will not watch the fights:
Fury - Usyk
Fury - AJ
Wilder - AJ
Wilder - Usyk
.

Really? I learned something today. Good to know.

 

Yes you can. It is a bigger man that Usyk that Usyk beat. And it doesn't matter how much more versatile Fury is, he jab will be negated by the southpaw stance and superior speed.

 

I like Fury and was always going to root for him against Wilder. It's also my personal belief that on account of his faith, he fears no man. Therefore, I think it's less a case of him being afraid of Usyk and more a case of him not wanting to lose a fight in any official capacity (irrespective of the opponent), namely as, although he claims he doesn't care about the bottom line, he is in-fact a very smart business man, one who understands that keeping his zero intact is more profitable where future fights are concerned than taking a loss for a final payday (in other words he's demanding 500m for the Usyk fight because he's not entirely convinced he can get the win).

 

Fury just want to get more leverage on the negotiations. He is the top dog but everyone in the division knows he is not unbeatable. 3 wins against Wilder is not good enough to put him in the same league as the Foreman and Ali's comebacks. AJ and Usyk could beat him, specially if they had 3 chances like Wilder

 

What a RIDICULOUSLY shallow argument.

That is quite possibly the dumbest comment I've ever seen on this forum.

Just because Usyk beat a taller, heavier guy it does not mean that he is destined to beat every other taller, heavier guy he faces for the remainder of his career regardless of his opponents' skills.

Dear God...

 

I doubt Fury is particularly concerned about losing to either man; more about which of them represents the best numbers, in the risk : reward ratio.

Perceptions seem to be that Joshua presents the least risk and, in any event, it is most likely that Fury gets to reap a much greater reward against AJ than he would against Usyk.

So, yes, from a business perspective, Joshua would be the preferred choice.

The other more intangible matter is that of legacy. A Joshua who beats Usyk in their rematch also becomes the better legacy fight. But, even if Joshua loses, Fury can sell a bout with him, on the strength of their long-running rivalry and still make more money than he would by facing Usyk. And, you'd have to wonder if Fury would actually be that bothered, legacy-wise, either way.

Personally, I'd like to see him fight both; beat both and then retire.

 

Please stop. You are not as smart as you are pretending to be. I did not say that he would beat every taller guy, but his win over Joshua is absolutely an indicator that he knows how to deal with height and reach advantage.

And yes, his southpaw stance does tend to take away the jab, which is a bigger handicap to Fury than Joshua.

You really don't know anything about boxing. Sorry.

I just wanted to quote this awesome piece. Hilarious and probably true.
