It's my opinion, that's all, plain and simple.Tarkus wrote:On what are you basing this?jamesmcdonnell wrote: I think they've been hoping to see cracks in Wladimir appearing, and in truth there aren't any. They must have hoped he would get old and start to look vulnerable, or even better retire, before Tyson got into a position to be his mandatory.
Again I don't see any evidence for this claim.jamesmcdonnell wrote:They called him out when they knew they had very little chance of securing the fight - all the while watching to see if Wlad was slipping, whilst in fact Wlad looks about as unbeatable as he ever has. Now he is the mandatory - I bet the prospect doesn't feel quite so appetising.
I disagree strongly with this assessment and so are many others. Why do you think team Fury agrees with you. Just because you think he has no chance doesn't make it established fact.jamesmcdonnell wrote:I will bet you that both Peter and Tyson deep down know that Fury has virtually no chance of beating Wlad - he isn't a legitimate threat, he can't punch, and he doesn't have anywhere near the technical nous to outbox Wlad. He will get pasted from beginning to end, and stopped.
If they do fight, I think he is going to get splattered. He's just not on the same level as Wlad, nowhere near.
I wish him the best of luck if they do fight, and if wins, I will eat my words, but that's how I see it.
