A certain promoter of Fury’s claimed that Chisora could be more of a test than AJ. I thought that was just as outrageous. Chisora looked to be on his last legs in that diabolical one sided beat down he suffered from Parker.
Fury has contempt for the fans and for the establishment ever since 2015. He is ripping you all off and taking you for fools. He wants the path of least resistance now and will try and avoid Usyk at all costs
Chisora might not be as dangerous as Usyk but he's more dangerous than Joshua Chisora gave Usyk a much tougher fight than the Bodybuilder. This fight sucks but as long as he fights Usyk afterwards it doesn't matter tbh
Not really, he gave the illusion that he was a tougher fight. Meanwhile Usyk was on cruise control after the first two rounds and picked him apart with relative ease. Where with AJ both times, he was on from start to finish, and was always on guard, making sure he didn't make just that one mistake AJ could capitalize on, because it could be a fight ending one. AJ gave Usyk an infinitely harder time, in each of their meetings.
It does seem that way in hindsight. He was popped for PED's then when coming back fought Wilder the perceived weaker threat rather than face Joshua. Then fought Wilder twice more instead of facing Joshua and now looking to fight Chisora a 3rd time instead of facing Joshua or Joyce who both publicly called him out. Since coming back the only decent fighters he's fought are Wilder and Whyte. Reality is he's not fought the very best in the division since coming back, just 2 guys who were perceived as top 5 material with one maybe top 3 but with a big question mark over how good he is because he was protected for his whole career. Are we only now seeing Fury's true colours. Risk adverse when he has something to lose? Joshua for all his faults perhaps spoiled us when he was on top as he always looked for the big fights. We may have to get used to a heavyweight division again where the big fights just don't happen or take years to finally get made.
He's more likely to get put down from a big shot from chisora than those tippy tappy combos Usyk throws. So it it could be argued Fury has more danger of being hurt, but far less danger of losing by fighting Chisora.
But Joshua offered Fury a fight last year and Fury and Arum had an arbitration contract issue Wilder and they led people on until the very end when they finally had to capitulate and fight Wilder for the third time. Fury, Arum and Warren wasted everyone's time then..... People have very short memories.
