I bet you weren't moaning about how Joshua offered Wilder 65/35 split. Joshua has never been the man of the division, and he was up against a man who many would favour to beat him. An extra 15% for Fury is outrageous though, according to you, to box in a foregone conclusion against a minion in comparison.
It should be like that, yes, but he puts Fury in the top 5 which contradicts everything he propagates around the forum every day.
Whyte's his mandatory, and a tune up, since he should be easy work. Is Fury back on the devil's dandruff and downing a dozen of pints a day? If not, then why would you bring it up, since it's totally different from what's going on now.. A bit of a weird, and pointless comparison.
Think we all understand and take into account that some guys are worth more than others. Its not an ideal world so every fights not gonna be 50/50. I think we all get that. But 20 percent is a lot less than 35 percent...especially when a joshua fight at that point made more than a fury fight. These figures have got to be fair to both fighters even with taking into account one will be worth more than the other. But you cant really sanction a bout where the contenders went through a lengthy list of challengers to get to the top spot through the proper channels to then get 20 percent. Makes a mockery of the organisations. But again some boxing fans on here just agree with whatevers bad for eddie hearn fighters regardless. Been stunting the discussions on here for a while. You do know that...your allowed to not like hearn but agree with some things that might benefit him and vice versa. Seems like its a one answer fits all going on.
Out of interest, in today's heavyweight division who do you assess isn't a pudding? Fury and Usyk sure - but who else?
Well I don't blame him after Babic's war with David Spilmont in his last fight. Wilder would stand no chance after that display.
Based on resume and recent fights included: 1. Usyk 2. AJ 3. Whyte 4. Fury 5. Parker However that that not based H2H for example I would favour Parker to beat Whyte in a potential rematch. What's yours?
I am surprised that Joe Joyce didn't sneak in there after his victory over Tickling Takam. Surely Takam is a better victory than anything since Fury's win over W. Klitschko. How come Parker isn't above Fury?
Honestly I think if I was Fury I'd throw 30% at Whyte just to get it over and done with. If Whyte asks for more he's taking the **** and probably doesn't even want the fight.
1. Fury 2. Usyk 3. Joshua Gets tricky after that - any of Ruiz/Whyte/Joyce I suppose but depends on what metric they’re being judged. If it’s a ‘who do you think would win’ question then probably Joyce at 4.
Arum publicly offered him 25% and basically asked him to come to the negotiating table.that tells me they are willing to give him a bit more.
Whyte isn't the tune up. You keep parroting this, but go and look at Tyson's record. Because its true. Whenever he beats the man there's uproar in getting him to fight a quality guy next. Like I said before, he suffers from imposter syndrome.
But for a HW without a title, he does big numbers on Sky. It's not like he hasn't got a following... and why would 80/20 be fair full stop?
Same for Tyson. Beat the most overrated HW of all time in Wilder, and a petrified Wlad (also was on gear and ducked the rematch). Went life and death with a Tarmacer in McMuffin, and his next best win got laid out by someone who was on I'm a Celebrity... hardly worth shouting about, lad.
