Tyson Fury won't fight in December against Usyk

At this point it feels like you are deliberately missing the point.

Usyk is the one being singled out as inactive - even by you who is not a Fury fan. How is that fair or accurate?

Fury, bar a ridiculous cash grab sparring against a 12-losses 40-year-old, has only fought once since 2021 - and that was earlier than Usyk’s last bout. Why isn’t there talk about his inactivity? Yes, he is being criticised for a number of things. Yet, it is Usyk who is basically treated as a synonym for “inactivity” around here. Where are the talks about Fury’s inactivity? Where do you talk about that?

Ruiz fought twice in three and a half (!) years. He only faced Arreola and Ortiz since December 2019. Where are the discussions about his inactivity?

Wilder only fought twice in almost three and a half years. His rematch with Fury was in February 2020 and he only faced Fury for the third time and Helenius since. Where are the discussions about his inactivity?

Whyte fought only twice since the Povetkin rematch well over two years ago. Where are the discussions about his inactivity?

So the point is: Usyk is not even more inactive than other top HWs, and out of all of them, he is the one who had the most reasons out of his control for not fighting more - yet he is being used as a synonym for the "inactive HW" around here. Go on, type in "inactive" in the search bar and see in the results which fighter is most frequently associated with that term in this forum. And look at how Fury fanatics like Rummy and Ducky Boy agreeing with you over this. You are not being fair by singling Usyk out for something he is not even remotely more notorious than others while even having more legit reasons than the others.

 

And he has to be unfairly singled out as "the inactive one" because... ?

 

To give you an example: it's not up for debate whether "Mr Evan Fields" used PEDs or not back in the day.

However, I always disliked the fact how he has been always singled out as "the 'roided one" ever since. Everyone in the division was on the juice back then. Heck, when Tyson was released from prison, he was around 180 lbs. Even Bob Arum said he looked like a "lean cruiserweight". Yet, three or so months later he weighed in at 220 against McNeeley, looking ripped like never before. You tell me how he did that, how he put on 40 lbs of pure muscle in a matter of months.

Singling out fighters is never a good idea when they are not more culpable in the thing in question than their peers, imo.

 

I am not disputing the fact that Usyk should have fought more. I’m opposing the idea the he is being singled out for inactivity while not being more inactive than his peers, and while having probably the most legit reasons out of any active HWs for not fighting more.

 

What's the point of chiming in then? Clearly you have an agenda.

 

Probably justified? Log out, dude.

 

You're mad that not everyone is on the anti-fury agenda which is the only agenda I've seen. Usyk has got off lightly people ignoring his team have thrown out bluffs themselves just like Fury's team.

Business dictates what fights are made and when nothing more.

Only a few months back we had plenty Crawford & Spence ducking threads but now what?

 

For the same reason IBF took Fury's title 10 days after he won it by defeating the clincher.

But you see how some Usyk fans are: if he doesn't get a chance to get the WBC belt - this belt has no value, it's corrupt etc. The next moment they want Fury to be stripped of that belt and almost be given to Usyk because of his nice smile. They're happier if there is no Fury-Usyk fight because there will be no risk for their favourite to lose, but there will be a reason to always throw it at Fury instead of just getting passed that and letting it be on both fighters' legacies.

@McGrain the suspected "wucky" feels insulted by a staff member. The lunatic just returned today and I am already in his mouth without even saying anything.

 

Hard to respect a man who allows other men to use him as a synonym.
