Surprised to see folk saying Furys fights arent boring/generally shit.

He does move well, he does defend well, and thats a huge part of the craft, but there is no such skill in his offensive work which is what makes his fight shit IMO.

Morons are the ones who say Mayweather is shit to watch, but his attacking is phenomenal too. Fury is dreadful to watch, but its deliberate and in spite of his offensive limitations so you have to respect his craft.

We weren't talking about Fury's fights in general, his fight against Wilder wasn't shite/boring in the slightest.

Hope all 3 of Joshua, Wilder and Fury get iced in their next fights, costing them millions that they could have had if these fights were getting made.  Got fed up hearing about Joshua and Wilder at least 18 months ago, you'd think there was nothing else happening in the sport.

Watched Mayweather v Canelo on YouTube the other day and some of the punches he landed were semi-inducing.

Fury v Wilder signed and sealed for early next year apparently.

Until the whole thing collapses.

Tbf that's all we heard before the first fight.

The thing that worries me is that they could all retire undefeated without ever having faced each other, legacy intact, and blaming money and politics, which tbf is true to a large extent, and all to be argued who'd have beaten who into their all age. As they laughed into their money. Not one of them can have a shelf life of more than a few years now.

In all honesty, none have much of a legacy as it stands, it would just go down as another meh period in heavyweight boxing, if you can get in and out with cash,legacy and faculties intact great, if not, take the cash and faculties.

Sums up boxing. The only sport in the world where you can claim to be the best in the world without ever proving it. Farcical.

That's more true at the HW division thoigh...you'll get called out at the lighter weights. The sheer amounts of belts and governing bodies now are ridiculous. The WBC are particularly bad for it. Making up belts to get a hefty sanctioning fee each time.

AJ v Wilder is really the only one that hasnt happened that needs to. The only way that fight doesnt happen eventually is if one of them get clipped soon.

Both guys will keep on fighting after a loss but much less people will give a f**k, such is the fickle nature of boxing economics. They are playing a dangerous game marinating it for this long (Gamboa v Lopez is the case study for this) but thats what we have here, and the Ortiz and Fury rematches arent bad fights tbh.

Not sure what it leaves AJ though since him and Wilder likely has to wait till late 2020 now. Probably habe to suffer through tedious wankstain Dillian Whyte getting another title shot.

Fury is absolute horse hockey, and if he doesn’t shite out against Wilder, he’ll get knocked out instead. Joshua would have them both anyway.

Shut up, Weeper.

Tommy Coyle v Chris Algieri is just about to start on Sky Sports Main Event / Action on the free view for the PPV. Should actually be a decent fight, would imagine Algieri will be too good for Coyle, but he’s taken a few proper beatings in his losses to Pacquaio, Khan and Spence, so depends how shot he is. Hoping Coyle can drag him in to a war and we get some excitement.
