    When I first glanced at the page and took in the words 'Usyk Fury 3' my thoughts flashed 'pointless BS'.

    I think that'd be the mindset of the majority - so no reason to force it upon us.

    Please allow me a thought, given that there is nothing wrong with being a 'casual fan' of boxing and everyone is right to express their opinion, but in your speech there are several things that do not add up.

    Usyk's victory against Fury in their first fight is not controversial, in addition to the official verdict there are several media that saw the Ukrainian win. Then what the fans say does not matter, many are casuals who do not know how to judge a boxing match (on social media I have heard several people say that Mayweather had lost to De La Hoya, Pacquiao and Maidana, this says it all).

    There is no reason why Usyk meets Fury for the third time, in addition to having won the first two matches without controversyfor Usyk now there has three credible challengers that deserve to face it, Kabayel, Parker and Dubois. They are coming off good wins, while Fury is coming off two losses.

    The situation between Pacquiao was different and the matches between them had been different compared to those between Fury and Usyk. Furthermore, a good number of media outlets had Marquez as the winner in the third match with Pacquaio. And then Marquez has never faced Pacquiao immediately after two consecutive defeats (which is the situation Fury is in now).

    Fury lost twice but in truth it's still a better match than anyone else now.
    The idea Parker, Kabayel, Dubious are better fights is pretty absurd. Dubious is a threat due to power so it's potentially a dramatic fight but Fury is much better obviously.
    It's a bit like Froch Groves where a third fight was still more interesting than Froch Chavez Jr the 'retirement' fight Froch wanted.

    Big John, we know that you are proud of your son, but no one else wants to see him get beat and throw his toys out the pram a third time.

    Not interested in the least. Fury can FO with his endless rematches. He takes every rematch except for the one that counted: Wlad.

    He's generally loved but he still has his irrational haters who are desperate to see him lose and there are Brit fans of AJ, Belly and Dubois who hate on him on social media.

    Also, noticing J-Park fans on social media referring to him of all people as a ducker

    You must be kidding. Fury dominated Wladimir. There was no doubt whatsoever as to who won that fight. Fans largely had it much wider than the official cards had it. In the case of Fury Usyk, both matches were extremely close, and could have went either way. That was not the case with Fury Wladimir which was very one-sided in favor of Fury. Despite this, Fury did accept the rematch but an ankle injury cancelled it.

    Rematches typically are demanded by fans based on how close and controversial the decision in the first fight was. Fury Usyk was far more competitive and justified a rematch to a much greater extent than Fury Wladimir did. That said, many of us still wanted to see the Fury Wladimir rematch and were disappointed when it didn't come off. We wanted to see how Wladimir approached the rematch after having been in there with Fury, to see him presumably take a different approach. Still, there's no comparison to the level of competitiveness.

    In Fury Usyk 1, Fury was having his way with Usyk, arguably dominating him for the first half of the fight until Usyk made a brave comeback and edged it. In the rematch, Fury fought a much more disciplined fight and arguably did enough to win, but the judges gave it to Usyk. Not to take anything away from Usyk and his performances, but Fury caused Usyk a lot of problems and accomplished a lot even in a losing effort. You can't say the same thing about Wladimir who seemed to be completely out of sorts against Fury, in a fight that was far more one-sided in favor of Fury than anyone expected. I personally would like to see a 3rd fight as I thought that Usyk was fortunate to emerge victorious in both matches. But I wouldn't call either a robbery, since I don't cry when decisions don't go a certain way. I will however say that I was very impressed by how Fury fought that rematch and thought he had every right to believe he did enough to win.

    But for some reason we got Fury Wilder 3 despite Wilder being KO'd senseless in the rematch. If Fury Wilder was deserving of a 3rd fight, then surely Fury Usyk would be as, unlike Wilder, Fury actually has an argument that he won.

    He could've stopped AJ if he put his foot on the gas a little earlier in the round. I wish he had of but didn't he already agree to the rematch before the fight? I think he did but maybe I'm remembering it wrong

    When Crawford sneaked by Madrimov in a razor-close affair on his own soil with a stacked deck of a home ref and three home judges, a Madrimov his size (he weighed slightly more than Madrimov) not way bigger, he was put under no pressure to give Madrimov a rematch even though he was the challenger going in and Madrimov brought his world title to his backyard.

    It was just a case of well done Bud, you're the better man, onto the next. But, as said, Usyk had to beat AJ and Belly twice a piece even though he'd soundly beaten both the first time of asking and he was playing Russian roulette facing giants way bigger than him.

    But now people are bitching about him rematching Dubois after bitching about the ''controversy'' in the first fight and pretending like Usyk is running scared of him and J-Park is a much more dangerous fight for him. Unreal :facepalm:

    Yes, they should have happened sooner. Part of me wishes Usyk had turned pro and campaigned at HW when he was in his mongoose reflexes prime because he would've schooled all these HWs and enjoyed a much longer reign. He still wouldn't have been able to beat any of the fire-breathing unbeatable North American gods of previous eras though. :facepalm:
