The Boxing thread

csnt see TF OR AJ wanting to put themselves through those fights before this

both will do mandatory fights

I'm not sure. There's been quite a delay in announcing the pulev fight and maybe that was because Matchroom wanted to wait to see if Fury would win. Now they should pay off pulev for a bit and Fury v AJ should happen in the summer. The winner should then give Wilder a shot in December time. This is wishful thinking but hw boxing right now is at its pinnacle and the numbers for those two to fight at Wembley in the summer would be astronomical.
 
I thought DWhyte was mandatory, maybe not. I think both both DW vs AJ and TF vs DWhyte would be money spinners before the super fight of AJ vs TF. Wilder clearly needs a big fight next whether it DWhyte,TF again or AJ. He will be done if he fights Charles Martin etc and no point to fighting someone like say Parker or Povetkin for not much interest when they 'd have a fair chance of beating him anyway.

Why on earth would AJ fight Wilder? He's far too dangerous and isn't a mandatory. AJ will make 60m+ whoever he fights. I think he should fight Fury next because the belts are not gonna hang around forever with so many mandatories and dangerous opponents. pulev, Usyk, Whyte, Wilder, Ruiz, parker, Dubois etc are all waiting in the wings. Honestly think it's now or never for a British unification fight.
 
I get the feeling Joshua is to tentative with his career management. I suppose that is a nice way of saying he ducks challenges. I am only a casual fan so may be wrong but that is the impression i get.
Mainly i say it because Wilder took the Fury fight almost right away and the chatter about Joshua v Wilder has been just that, chatter. Wilder was flat out calling him a "pussy" on twitter due to his anger the fight was not happening. When Fury took the first Wilder fight it certainly seemed to shift eyes onto Joshua.

Have i got it right or? If any hardcore boxing fans know what happened i would be interested to know about all that.

Wilder only took Fury because he thought Fury was a busted flush
 
Fury proved he is the best at the weight, three times he has gone into the lions den and hasn't lost. AJ simply isnt as good, but I don't blame him for not fighting Wilder in the states.

You've got to back yourself. AJ knows Fury has the chin and ability to beat him. Fury had the confidence cos he knew when he fought Wilder first time he wasn't 100% and he couldn't finish him off then anx last night Fury was back his best and knew Wilder couldn't live with him
 
A great win by Fury. I didnt see him winning by a KO so that shocked me. Wilder with a busted ear drum didnt help things for Wilder. I still not sure if Tyson is a big puncher now all of a sudden or was it just the busted ear drum. Be interested to see where both men go. Another rematch who knows. Fair play to Fury won by KO as he said he would do. Maybe the team behind him is a better fit. Sugar Hill Steward and Andy Lee in his corner seems to work for him. Really impressed with what Andy Lee is doing with the fighters he has under him as the main trainer hes going places.

The only real half decent boxer Wilder has faced is Fury who lets face it beat him twice. AJ would beat him. Wilder is a journeyman without that punch, any decent fighter with a bit of nouse would beat him imo including AJ who has faced far better opponents than Wilder before. Theres also no chance Usyk or DuBois are going anywhere near the likes of Fury or AJ yet as the likes of Whyte, Wilder and Ruiz would be up first. All just my opinion of course.
