    Fury has held the HW hostage ever since he beat Wlad Klitschko. It's almost impossible to get him into the ring. He didn't want to fight Usyk. And he doesn't want to fight AJ. To the credit of Usyk and AJ, they are proper fighters who will fight any man. Afraid of no man. The world needs to see Fury AJ.

    All the bashing of Fury now. He fought well, and just lost. The ref did a terrible job, if you ask me. Fury is a funny kind of guy, half fool, half formidable business person. Fury was called the most skilled heavyweight before the Usyk fight, and he clearly is, or was, an outstanding talent. Now, Fury is 35, is at least 10 times richer than Usyk, he is deep down tired of boxing and put a show on to boost his account. I think he will lose the rubbermatch which basically is a moneymaker and no more. I have the feeling that Fury will look for the easiest way out and that will be his last fight, so, bye bye boxing, hallo to family life and maybe coke and booze for the weekend. Oh, and a Rolls Royce for his wife. Wouldn't you do the same, really?

    That is why I never understood why there is trash talk in the first place.

    If you belittle your opponent and still he beats you, you are a fool. If you say nasty things about the guy and then get found out on fight night, that's your ticket to a YouTube short titled "instant karma" and you'll be the laughing stock of the world. Grown men acting like school bullies is not entertaining nor interesting, so I never understood the "it's selling the fight" argument either. Selling the fight how? Who is entertained by that stuff, especially when it is not even meant to be taken seriously? If I wanted to watch artificial fights stemming from artificial beefs, I'd watch WWE. But I don't watch children's shows.

    More importantly, how do you expect people to take you seriously after you said you would do this and that in the ring with the guy, but it's you who gets flattened? I remember Caleb Plant sending Dirrell to la-la-land. It was a highlight-reel-worthy KO. I never cared for pre-fight BS and drama, so I only learned about it afterwards that Dirrell talked a lot of nonsense and insulted Plant before the fight. I mean, why would you risk looking like that much of a clown after the fight? Getting beat is bad enough as it is, so why would you put yourself in that position where you could end up looking like the world's biggest fool?

    He is not the second best, unless he prove it against AJ, simple as that.

    He is not 'clearly' the second best heavyweight in the world. Let's see who wins the matchup with Joshua first.

    Not many heavyweights could. There's a price to be paid for being 265+ pounds.
