    Heard this fight being touted…surely not…

    Would be a sad sight to watch a 54 year old Roy Jones Jr get beaten by someone as shite as Tommy Fury…

    I wouldn’t mind seeing TF in with Haye if he’s going to fight old, crippled fighters.

    Haye would probably still knock him out (exactly why it won’t happen) and the build up would be fun.

    You think Tommy beats him? I'm not 100% on that. He was floored by a jab from Jake Paul.

    Maybe not if only over 4-6 rounds.

    Turned my stomach and spoiled my weekend seeing Holyfield vs. Belfort. I respect Tommy for maximizing his earning potential with average talent in boxing (will never win a world title) and no know talent in anything else but these sort of fights are disgusting.

    Seeing a lot of people post about the fact they're in talks. Someone needs to put a stop to it!

    Boxing fans always overreact to these kind of fights but will happily tune in to a card full of mismatches because that's proper boxing!

    I'm going to do my part in stopping this by ignoring it and showing zero interest.

    If everyone follows suit it will not happen.

    I’m looking forward to Tommy and John screaming that Tommys beaten the pound for pound number one in boxing ( Jake Paul screaming that Logan Paul was The Best Ever after his 8 round tickling session with Floyd Mayweather )

    As crazy as this sounds, I give Jobes Jr a chance against Tommy PopGunn Fury.

    Yeah that’s the entire aim of the game. They’re killing it.

    As bad as it is for the sport, you do have a point.

    Fury will have made more money fighting Paul KSI and Roy Jones than Froch made for the Kessler Bute etc run

    Pro boxing isn't a sport, it's sports entertainment. It makes much more sense when viewed through this lens imo.
