    What thing had prevented A.J to fight vs Wilder in U.S 2X?
    God had prohibited him to fight vs Wilder?

    A.J marquee fights are geriatric in eddie souce.

    Well, Wilder came out and as much as confirmed he ducked AJ. AJ made numerous offers to Wilder for the fight. When did Team Wilder ever branch out to make AJ an offer?

    I don't know and did not had cared.
    Wilder for long years had WBC belt and milked this belt by fighting only in US.
    One known in europe boxer he had in the pro ring was Fury.:D
    In ammy boxing: Russo :p:D LOL.

    A.J too is suspicious!

    Yes, NO, yes...

    Yes, he was definitely Hyped & Moved into place before and up to Klit,

    NO, since Klit and in his last few fights he IS a much Improved Fighter - for the Division - S-HW...

    yes, Overall, in that the Division is generally a 2cd rate Division, compared to the excellence & craft seen in ALL other Divisions by many a fighter and only a few among the Giants - Fury not being one of them.

    is AJ Better? absolutely and by a wide margin and Punch wise a Killer, but AJ has been fooled into false pride, without earning it far too early too, however in his last few fights against fore mentioned fighters, AJ definitely show the Better Fighter.

    If AJ stay's fit, improves on his endurance, become more 'Skill' Confident, rather just "you're the Man, because we told you so confident" and capitalises on his work less nervously, He, AJ, Destroys Tyson Fury.

    is Fury an A 1 Chap, ABSOLUTELY, do we Like him, Love him, ABSOLUTELY, do we Hope, Support and Cheer for him, ABSOLUTELY...

    is he the best S-HW - Not by a Long Shot!

    No Fury's not a hypejob

    BUT

    He's still in some ways an unknown quantity - After beating Wlad and becoming the man at HW he disappeared for 3 years then returned and beat a limited but dangerous fighter in Wilder who himself was an unknown quantity having never beaten any decent HW in their prime. Now rather than fight AJ, Usyk or even Joyce he's having a 3rd fight with Wilder so still not testing himself.

    Tony Dosh PPV and Tyson Fury the best of a very poor Heavyweight Division post Klitschko era.

    Just don't see either on the same level and not being destroyed by a prime Lennox Lewis or Vitali Klitschko.

    Fury has done a real number on Team Humble and Matchroom out of the ring.

    Both should come through their fights against Usyk and Wilder but it would not be a big shock to me if both lost. Wilder is a danger to any fighter and Usyk could box the head off Tony Dosh PPV if he does not land a big one early.

    He is getting a bit like Colleen Rooney lately, flashing his wealth in the papers with his kids a lot.

    Hope he hasn't taken his eye off the ball....

    That's because AJ's rematch was partly about redeeming himself after swallowing in the first fight, most people gave little credit for the rematch because beating Andy Ruiz would or should be a minimal expectation for a heavyweight with aspirations of becoming undisputed.

    Fury wasn't a hype job and proved his quality in the wlad fight. That said I don't believe the present version of Fury is anywhere near the level he was against wlad.

    Need to to Fury against one of the more proven fighters such as AJ, Whyte, Hunter, Ruiz, Povetkin and Pulev. I 'm not even sure this current version of Fury beats the current version of Chisora (who is experiencing an Indian summer of his career).

    It's funny how Joshua fans class Ruiz as a good win. Only because Ruiz knocked him out in the first fight, Arreola showed how average Andy Ruiz is.

    Joshua won't come through Usyk, not a chance. I actually believe he'll drop the wbo & fight a Dillian whyte type. Fair play if he fights usyk but if he does its the last time he'll touch a belt in my opinion.

    Did you just say chisora beats fury? I assume it's John fury you mean? No version of chisora beats any version of Tyson Fury, im actually sat here wondering if you're David Haye

    Don't know about being a hype job but he's been quiet since the Joshua fight fell through which leads me to believe he didn't really want the fight.

    Is Tyson Fury a hypejob?

    Depending on what you read Tyson Fury is a heavyweight version of Joe Calzaghe, Roberto Duran and Floyd Mayweather Junior, a man of the people who understands mental health and how to "beat it" like nobody else. He's also definitely not materialistic and doesn't care about money and things like that "you can't take it with you".

    So the answer. Tyson Fury is a very highly skilled heavyweight boxer during a time where there really aren't that many to challenge him. Is he unbeatable? Far from it, if he fought 2 to 3 times a year against the best and had done for the last 5 years he'd no doubt have a loss on his record. Is he the second coming of Christ? He's far from an angel. Great boxer, very skillful and knows how to use his attributes to his best advantage, including his mouth to boost his profile in the eyes of the public.
