Wilder vs Fury is off??

Nah, it will happen. Too much hype. They can't afford to look like clowns at this point.

 

Fury dropped out of Wlad rematch not once but twice. Which was all signed, and would have been his career high payday. So, with this kind of low-level-IQ guys anything can happen. Don't think they will feel bound to any agreement just because there's "lots of hype".

 

Sorry I get confused, are you talking about Fury or Wilder?

 

Yet another fighter ducking Wilder...

 

actually your confusion is well founded. it definitely describes most of both guys careers.

 

**** me do we need some bright colours and large font to spell it out to some people or what?

You'd never see **** like this when the guy in your avatar was champ. He fought them all automatically, because he believed that is what champs do. Tyson, Holy, Bruno, McCall, Rahmen, Grant, Briggs, Golota, Tua, Vitali... Only guy he couldn't get in the ring was Bowe, who abandoned a title rather than fight. Lennox Claudius Lewis would have fought Jason Vorhees or Godzilla if they were available.

How I long for those days again.

 

Yes, totally agree. We can look back and say that most of them guys in the 90s and 80s didnt ***** foot around and try to save face at any given opportunity. Thing is guys like Wilder **** me off because if he was in that era he would just duck everyone.

 

did you see last weekend when Wilder allowed Fury to walk around the ring holding the WBC belt up?

Wtf was that all about? pathetic and sad.

 

Dillian Whyte???

 

Yet if them pulling out after hyping it up will have the opposite effect, so how the **** does that make sense?

 

gets both of their names in the press here in the states, when otherwise they wouldn't be.

 

fought tyson long after his expiration date. ducked the contracted (and career high payday) rematch with Vitali.

 

The guys bi polar what do you expect?

 

The Tyson he fought was near shot but tbf their paths just never really had the chance to cross anywhere near peak for peak.

Firstly by the time Lewis was coming through to world level Tyson was in a cell. Once he came out they both worked there way to a title (same one for some reason, will have to look into why Tyson dropped the WBC in 96)

EDIT - just looked it up and Tyson allegedly paid Lewis 4 million step aside money so he could fight Bruce Seldon for the WBA and then dropped the WBC so effectively Tyson ducked Lewis at this point if anything.

Tyson went the route of fighting Holyfield for big money and the consensus was Evander was shot and easy work, Tyson lost then bit his ear off and was banned for a year. When he came back it was 99 and Lewis was signed to fight Evander himself, was robbed and had to have a rematch so that's takes us to 2000.

They could have fought anytime from there really but Tyson was on some sort of meltdown mission again and I imagine it was a pain to make, even so Lewis smashes 2000 Tyson the same as the 2002 version.

Only other time they could have fought would be if they had make it from the blocks around 96/97 but Lewis wasn't a huge name at that point and I doubt they thought Mike would get KOd again, banned and have as much drama as he did (or maybe they did and didn't think more than a few months ahead).

As for Vitaly, Lewis was 38 years old, fought him as a late replacement and smashed his face up but probably knew that his days at the top were coming to and end. No shame in bowing out at that point, if he'd did it then came back against Danny Williams or someone then it would have been a duck but he stayed retired and that's perfectly acceptable.
