    I told you ages ago Belly didn't want that Usyk smoke

    I told you

    He told you he didn't want it :facepalm:

    From his own mouth

    I. DO. NOT. WANT. IT.

    Even if Usyk beat AJ and held all the belts

    I. DO. NOT. WANT. IT.

    Rewind to 2019 when Belly refused to fight A Side AJ for anything less than 50/50 even though AJ was the three-belt unified HW champ and Belly held no belts and was a clear B side :facepalm:

    “Believe it or not, this is gonna sound strange – Cunningham was the hardest fight I ever did have in my whole career, amateur or professional.

    “The reason being he was very slippery.

    “The way I explain Cunningham – it was like a Conger Eel all full of oil in front of me.

    “I couldn’t pin him down.

    “He was light on his feet, he was weighing 208lbs or something.

    “He was a three-time cruiserweight champion and then he stepped up into the heavyweights.

    “He was a slick, talented boxer and I tried to walk him down using my size and power, but he was just outboxing me.

    “What I’m good at – boxing, moving, slipping and sliding – I couldn’t do against Steve Cunningham because he was quicker than me.

    “It was like he was a better boxer all round than me.

    “I couldn’t do nothing with him, and he knocked me over even though he was a light puncher supposedly.

    Big business at this level.

    Anyone who thinks the fighters are in charge of these negotiations is nuts.

    Mad Pigeon, not sure what side of the pond you are from but the Brit enthusiasts, and now a lot of casuals are starting to get bored of Fury!
    The votes for this thread seem to be suggesting that Fury is just not what he talks, let alone walks. Or are you suggesting that a big percentage on here are Fury haters or just don't know what they are talking about!?

    Da Big Dossa, The Belly Dancer, Scrooge McDuck. I'm just here for the Fury bashing while the bashing is good. Both of these dossers said they'd fight for free yet you can't get them in the ring for millions.

    ****, fight someone else then instead of wasting nearly half the year already. Both of the are on pace to fight once this year, whoopty doo.

    Asked and answered:
    Fury and Arum Holding Up Fury-Usyk, They Don't Think Usyk Deserves 50% | Boxing News 24 Forum (boxingforum24.com)
    75% think Usyk deserves 50%, i.e. it is a valid reason to not take less.

    Though I understand your point; this is kind of just a rewording of the other thread's question, but this time the focus has been placed on Fury instead of Usyk. I am interested to see if the votes move toward 25%-75% in this thread too, or whether this (15%-85%) will be an indication that more and more people are going to blame Fury (rightly or wrongly) the more protracted things get.
