I think Fury was right not to face Wilder immediately

    I don't agree.
    In the 2 rounds he was knocked down he got up and dominated the remainder of them and it was wilder hanging on at the finish

    Fury didn't duck the Klitschko rermatch he was suspended for peds. He didn't duck Wilder either...he won that fight.

    The only fight Fury ever ducked was Joshua demanding 60% and then declining Hearns offer which was 3 guys then Joshua. Fury clearly wants no part of Joshua anytime soon ,like another guy . lol

    Bob Arum said this week he wants Tyson Fury to fight one more time this year (after Schwarz) and then "maybe" fight Wilder sometime next year (2020).

    Basically, Fury is never going to fight Wilder again. Unless Bob Arum dies.

    So there goes what could've been a really compelling series.

    Thanks Bob. Thanks Tyson. Thanks Frank. Don't trip over each other racing for the exit.

    Then why didn't Tyson Fury come to the presser for the rematch when Wlad was waiting for him? Remember he was "stuck in traffic" and his "mobile phone battery was dead"? That's DUCKING!

    Its blatently obvious he knew he was going to be suspended . That whole injury was an excuse ,he was notified by the athletic commission. that he was to appear, they even went to his home.

    How was it obvious? F. Warren organized a presser in Manchster with Peter Fury, hundreds of journalists and TV waiting for Fury. And he didn't show up. "Sorry I can't reach him on the phone" was Peter Furys response. That's DUCKING! Fury didn't have the cojones to show up and face Wlad for the rematch -- when everything was stacked in his own favor: Manchster, his own home crowd. But Fury chose to hide and duck.

    All the choises he has made from when he has decided to face Wilder the 1st time (included the fight with Strawman and the change of his crew before Wilder 2) have been excellent.
    Fury is very smart and he'll continue to do the best for him imo.
