Tyson Fury "We offered the fight to Povetkin/Martin/Pulev/trevor they all said NO"

There's a bridge in London I'd love to sell you

 

Consider Breazeale took 1.2 millions and Wilder nearly 10 last time.

 

Bottom line: Hughie Fury fights Povetkin which is much tougher opponent than Tyson Fury's opponent Wallin. Funny Hughie was happy to come up with Povetkin's purse and somehow Tyson couldn't.

 

You have been proved wrong, so accept it and apologise like a man.

"Povetkin reportedly turned down a shot at Tyson Fury in favor of fighting Hughie. Will the Russian star live to regret this?"

 

Repeat Povetkin is yet good but a little worned out. Has chosen Hughie cause against Fury would have been very hard. Instead with something less (not much) than the purse with Fury he got more chances to win. Is all calculated.

 

Fury also once said that he has given up the lineal title.

 

Its more like Hughie chose Povetkin and Fury took a softer opponent in Wallin.

 

He rejected the fight and chose to fight Hughie. This in part probably had something to do with an informal agreement with Matchroom. What you describe is something you have completely fabricated to suit yourself.

 

Why do I need to lie? Lets add up the points he earned fighting literally nobodies and see how that places him up in the top top tier of the sanctioning bodys ranking? See the last time I checked you get high credit for beating highly ranked opponent

 

Here is a shot of the rankings July 2017 Schwarz is at number 6 WBO.

So can you please explain your previous comment:

It looks now to myself and any other rational thinker that you completely made something up and are probably a compulsive liar.

 

Put it this way, before Whyte announced Rivas nobody had a CLUE who he was going to fight, nobody predicted it was Rivas... then when he announced everyone was like Woaaa nice one, yeah Rivas is solid, Yeah Whyte is defo getting KOd now, even Haye had Rivas winninng...

So nobody expected Whyte to announce Rivas, and yet Rivas was a highly ranked, dangerous opponent. Guess what... there are probably 20 dangerous guys out there Fury could have picked, 20 that are well ahead of Otto Wallin

 

That's rubbish, Povetkin beat the taller, more dangerous puncher call David Price. Povetkin is a world reknowned expert at fighting taller men.

Nobody is believing your hyperbole, or your "devils advocate" role playing in this thread.

 

They probably injected Wallins name into the rankings thinking Fury would announce his fight against Wallin... they were 1 year too early.

Still waiting to see how all those points he raked up adds up to a top 6 ranking. Nobody knows who he beat... it's pathetic.

 

Schwarz defended a WBO title 9 times and Wallin has the WBA European belt. If you do not understand this element of boxing organisation rankings systems then you should probably just stick to enjoying the fights and not discuss things that are beyond your intellectual comprehension.
