Strange ending to the Smith fight.

Ruiz v Ortiz tonight.....might be half decent - both can bang.

Fucking hell - hopefully just more Fury bullshit like retiring/fighting Chisora.

 

Hearn's robot does not deserve yet another title shot.

[sir roger]

I know you hate Joshua, but surely you would rather watch that fight than have Fury retired and Joshua fighting some Lithuanian accountant to rebuild his profile.

I hate Joshua but I agree, fighting each other would still be a massive fight and better than the likes of Charr, Chisora, etc.

Frankly no.

 

I am sick of seeing Joshua and his giant fucking ego pandered to.

 

Get in line, earn your shot.

 

He has lost 3 of his last 5 fights - his entitled attitude stinks - look at his behaviour after Usyk fight - stealing his spotlight, making it all about himself.

 

Fury won't retire and i'd rather see someone who deserves another shot, a Ruiz - who just won again in his 2nd fight since losing the title, or an up and coming fighter get a shot....or of course Usyk v Fury for all the belts - when it can happen...all before that entitled prick Joshua gets yet another go.

 

Joshua and his ego and his teams arrogance and ego can fuck off, get to the back of the queue and earn a shot.

[Jairzinho]

That said, he would be absolutely obliterated. Which would be quite amusing.

Fury won't fight up and comers though.

 

The choice is Joshua or a tick-over fight against some absolute pudding. So the Joshua fight is far more appealing as a fan.

 

You're right what you are saying but the game doesn't work like that, it's all about the money.

Oh yeah course - 100%

 

But i don't think there has been a fighter in heavyweight history who if this happens will have had as many shots without getting back in line as Joshua....and he simply does not deserve it.

Nah, it's the fight most boxing fans want to see. The build up will be superb and watching him getting his head panel beaten again will be glorious. He will fancy himself as well after the Usyk fight.

Boxing and footy get cancelled tomorrow and the sports of toffs say they’re gonna play as a mark of respect.

I actually think he's doing himself no favours taking it. It's not just the should wait in line because he's lost 3 out of 5 fights, but clearly he needs to go away and work, make some changes and come back a better fighter, so when he next fights at the top level he might win. Unless fury doesn't take the fight seriously, he will absolutely destroy Joshua. He has all the boxing skills of usyk and isn't small.

He hasn't got much time left and will know that Fury won't be an option forever. I actually thought he looked as good as he has in years the other week.

Yet he still lost and was unable to do anything to make his size and weight count.

Based on Usyk arguably being pound for pond the best in the world right now. I still think Fury batters him mate, I can just see why he's taken it. No point in him fighting Whyte or Chisora. Wilder might have been a better option but I think he loses that as well. He'll get a decent purse for this and if he manages to pull it off he's back up there.

Feel for all the fighters that have spent weeks making weight only for the event to cancelled.

So supoosedly he's made changes in his last camp, as you say, he boxed better than we've seen from him. I just think he needs to continue that path and get his skills tuned against opponents who less like Fury! As you say, there's a pretty good chance he'd lose to wilder as no doubt catch him at some point. But if he gets a chance to improve, maybe only fury out there beats him - he could have beat usyk with a little more smarts. He should beat him because he's fucking miles stronger. 

 

I agree there's not much point in a white fight, but maybe he needs to fight some different fighters. Stop worrying about the pay packet for a couple of fights, get out to the US and fight some different opponents. Then try and get his belts back. Unless fury quits, that fight will be there. I think he should try and fight again this year and make sure he gets 2 fights in and 3 if he can manage it next year. Then go for the belts in 24.

Hahahaha to be fair they're decent. The Joe Pesci one was ace. Can't help but wonder if Fury was on the ale there though. And also, has he put some sort of filter on their eyes in them videos? 

[Elite]

Lads got bags of talent. The Pesci one was outstanding.

Aye, we need to stick that in the Goodfellas thread, really good stuff.
