What if Fury and AJ swapped opponents.

[snake33]

AJ could use a tune up, get his confidence back and
Fury would school Ruiz
And we're right back where we started before the coke break.

I know this won't happen but still.

[Bandog]

If Fury had a ny confidence at ALL, he would be fighting someone with a pulse.

Wilder scrambled his brain in their fight. Why would Fury DUCK a rematch for a fuckong year otherwise? Fighting tomatoe cans? Wtf.
Wilder is fighting someone dangerous, thst deserves a rematch.
Fury is staying safe until he can cash out vs Wilder.

TFKoB clearly stated that he wants Fury.

Fury’s drug ban was for steroids, not coke.

The calibre of Tyson Fury's opposition is due to politics.

Top Rank/Queensberry/ESPN/BT have a weak stable of heavyweights and those fighters that are free agents are usually journeymen of borderline fringe contenders.

It's challenging to make fights between Top Rank/Queensberry/ESPN/BT vs. Matchroom/GBP/DAZN/SKY vs. PBC/Showtime/Fox.

I disagree. “The caliber of Tyson Fury’s opposition is” NOT “due to politics.” It is the simple risk / reward equation.

He never had a drug ban.

[polecateddy]

He had a back dated 2 year ban (or period of ineligibility as UKAD phrased it) from 13 December 2015 for elevated levels of the banned anabolic steroid of choice, Nandrolone. The positive test was from Feb 2015. Hughie Fury was also banned. They blamed eating uncastrated wild boar or some such nonsense.

I always found that wording a bit odd, wild Boar live in the wild (as their name suggests), obviously they have not been castrated.

He never had a drug ban.

He happily accepted a backdated two year ban. He’s a proven juicer and has admitted it by accepting the ban.

I get your point, but what if Fury would fight at least a semi legitimate opponent with some credentials, say like Lucas Brown or someone, and Ruiz and Joshua would stop bickering. Meanwhile Joshua is losing weight like crazy, maybe getting down to almost cruiser weight, like Wilder. Boxing is nuts, but like Mick Foley the wrestler said, the real world is even nuttier and much faker (like the whole Epstein business for instance!).

He did take off for two years and did coke and ate everything (I guess on opposite days).
I didn't say anything about a ban.

[polecateddy]

Lucas Browne is shot to pieces, and Joshua is going to be nowhere near 200 pounds.

Yeah, who wouldn't? Point being, it never kept him from fighting. Hell, he won the title when he should have been 'banned'.

Even Wallin would knock him out inside 3 rounds. Allen destroyed him and Sokołowski should win by 60-53, 59-54 type of decision. Browne was always overrated, bum beater with no skills + a cheater.

Browne has fought top level opponents, Wallin nothing even near to top level. They forget now that Browne had won his first 25 fights in a row, including beating Toney. He;s only lost twice. Also he's very big. It would be a much more legitimate stay active fight for Fury than Wallin.

Then Sokołowski who is 7-15 or so would be even more legitimate as he recently proved to be clearly better than Browne. So i disagree with you, Wallin is terrible but Browne is even worse. Beating ancient Toney years ago doesn't mean a lot.

How so? I didn't see that fight in March but it says that Browne won a narrow points decision in an only six round fight, but was knocked down once. It must surely have been meant to be a nothing tuneup comeback fight for Browne and a shocker that he was knocked down by the much smaller Polish guy with the losing record. Was the Polish guy robbed by the judges, the usual in boxing?

Soko was robbed. To me he clearly won that fight.

It was at worst 58-55 for Sokołowski. Clear robbery. But the judges couldnt give the decision to him because Browne already had a scheduled fight vs Allen.
