I mean he already has generational wealth. If he wants to trade his legacy for more money that's on him, it doesn't make it any less embarrassing. You wouldn't catch me giving out hand shandies for $1m a pop if I already had a few hundred million.
The thing with Fury v Joshua is that Fury has the ability to get right inside Joshua’s head and break him down mentally before a punch has even been thrown,we have seen this before numerous times with Joshua in the Ruiz 1 Usyk 1 Dubois fights !
He took occasional risks. And I've never said some of those risks weren't impressive. But there is a pattern; beats Wlad and disappears. Fights Wilder 1 then faces Schwarz. Beats Wilder 2 and 3 then has Chisora 3. He was never consistent with those risks. He liked the accolades, but didn't want to put the full work in. Fury was happy to promote himself and Wilder as easily the top two in the world and rubbish everyone else, a myth which wasn't accurate, but suited their promotional agenda. Add to that he (and his fans and sections of the media) were saying he was the best of his generation at this point (Whyte fight) with fewer than 5 title defences behind him. Fury was happy to discredit AJ and Usyk, saying he'd beat them easily. And this was parroted by a lot of fans and media. I can't count the number of times I heard 'well Usyk's too small, Furys too good for him anyway.' And this disincentives the fights happening. And enabled Fury to go off and face Ngannou in an utterly pointless fight and a meaningless Chisora trilogy. There were numerous other credible top 10 bouts he could've taken, Usyk aside. Thank God Usyk pressed the issue, because Fury certainly didn't want that fight.
AJ didn't win gold he got gifted it clearly losing to Savon. He bought his first belt off Charles Martin, a stripped belt. He won vacant belts off OAP retired Wlad. https://www.reddit.com/r/Boxing/s/hKx1xouwSS
Both have been through periods of inactivity in the last year or so. Difference is AJ still looks the part, Fury is getting fatter and slower and heavier on his feet. The performance VS Wilder in fight 2 was brilliant. In and out light on his feet capable of moving or landing something heavy. That version is gone. Fury is still capable but if he goes in VS AJ I think at this stage its a 50/50 fight. Fury should outbox him but the time out of the ring wont do him any favors and Joshua is decently skilled himself and carrys genuine stopping power.
You can pick holes in anyone's résumé. The fact that you label AJ as a bum shows that your knowledge is extremely poor or you are very anti AJ for whatever reason. In terms of professional boxers, AJ has achieved more than most can only dream of. To call him a bum is ludicrous.
Maybe Tyson Fury shouldn't of lost to David Price and then maybe he would've got chosen for the Olympics instead of David Price.
Sparring is sparring we all seen what happened to Whyte in a real fight with Fury after knocking Fury down multiple times in sparring years earlier !
Sure, I'm not saying it will have an effect on the result, just that AJ will have something to grab on psychologically.
