    I couldn't care less about cherry picking, timeframes, or any of that.

    I mean, there's the possibility that the No.3 Heavyweight will face the No.2 and No.1 Heavyweights in the space of 15 weeks. Then ( depending on the result ) we might get the No.1 and No.2 fave each other 4 months later. I can't remember this happening at HW in such a short timeframe.

    One of the biggest, and rightful complaints about boxing is the top guys not fighting each other enough, and now that they are, I'm just gonna enjoy the fact it's happening.

    Honestly, anyone not happy with this is probably watching the wrong sport.

    Cherry picking it is not, AJ is Mr Corporate, he and his team would not be taking the bout with Fury unless it suited them to do so.

    Its more of a risk then it is a cherry pick. AJ has a chance to win this fight if they actually do end up fighting in December, so no its not a cherry pick.

    Fury
    Usyk
    Joshua
    Wilder
    Ruiz


    The point is that ideally I would want Fury to beat Usyk and THEN fight Joshua after that. This way Joshua has a few tuneup fights with his new trainer and the fight can be at its best

    I can understand your line of thinking there, however it is a bit sensationalist to post a thread with accusations of a cherry pick based on that comment. I dont disagree with your ideal scenario there, but your choice of words is why you are getting so much backlash.

    I know what you're saying mate. But an ideal world it isn't though, especially in the fight game. So sometimes you just have to strike when the iron's hot at any given moment and make do. Either that or a particular fight may never happen. Just take a punt, simple as that

    So then, as a make do fight this side of Xmas rather than a possible fight or no fight in the future I know what I'm happy with personally regarding AJ & Fury.

    Early December's OK for me.

    I'm fully expecting Fury to win and then face Usyk next year.

    Give me Chisora 3 . Joshua has been in decline for a while. It's getting sad watching this once juiced up bodybuilder take all these beatings.

    That can't happen, simply because Usyk ain't losing to Fury.

    He was going for Charr, but his bluff backfired.

    Joshua is still a top 4 HW.. it would be a cherry-pick if Usyk had beat him down but both of those fights were glorified sparring sessions and Joshua took no damage other than mental ... but he's been a mong for a good few years now anyway after Ruiz bumped him on the head.. so in no way shape or form is this a cherry pick , a couple of years ago it was the biggest fight in The Division.. Usyks sublime skills spoilt the party somewhat but Joshua is still one of the best heavyweights around and and it's a hell of a tick over fight, so I'll give them both respect if it gets made because fury could have gone with some euro scrub

    The Joshua fight will still be there for Fury if Fury beats Usyk

    I fully expect Fury to win V AJ . But 'if' is still an if.

    Just look forward to it if it happens.


    It's all about 'if's too much these days.
