David Haye: I am with the board's consensus!

[El Kabong]

this is absolutely true, you have never spoken a truer word

wlad is the extreme, the likes of that has never before and will never be seen in a boxing ring (unless someone finds some other multimillion pound cash cow who has to hold to win)

but fury does rely heavily on his size when comparing him to your normal situation

Yeah it's not like Fury purposely hit Abell low or anything, I mean THAT certainly isn't against the rules is it?

[AdamGB]

Fury doesn't want to fight Wilder because he wouldn't be able to just rely on being a lummox.

Like I said: he's yet to fight a live body that wasn't a cruiser or in possession of T-Rex arms...

Hes not just a lummox though is he? He doesnt hug, lean and hold and use his size as much as Wlad does. He actually beats people by throwing punches. Its shots to the jaw that stopped his last two opponents, not pushing them to the floor

I thought Haye threw himself on the floor? Make up your mind.
I seem to recall that after getting decked by an old Cruiser (best fighter he's faced to date), Fury's answer was to maul him for a few rounds and then shamefully pull his guard down and blindside him.

He likes to face guys who either have to punch up, reach in with shots, or usually both - because it's easy to keep out of harms way without having to employ any actual boxing skill. End of story.

Hs not going to come across many world class fighters that arent going to have to punch up or reach in, given his height and the fact he has the longest reach in history!

Obviously... but why is he fighting people with reaches closer to the average middle weight?

Missing the point (as usual and again)... He doesn't need somebody identical... Just a lot closer than his team keep protecingt him with.

Why isn't his team chasing the likes of Wach and Wilder to show us what he can do against a genuine big man?
You're too easily pleased, keep making excuses.

Making excuses?

How is pointing out Fury is huge compared to anyone making excuses? Excuses for what?

If Fury fought Wach, after, he won, it would be because Wach isnt a puncher and thats he only reason he chose him. There will always be an "excuse" as to why Fury keeps winning coming from the cry babies who seem to take Furys career as personal insult. Those same people are happy to praise someone like Haye who has ripped thousands of people off.

Wilder, they actually offered Wilder as an opponent to sky but sky refused. They arent going to fight each other for free.

[AdamGB]

Why do you have to excuse him for being tall? Who said you did?

Making excuses for him being out of shape and only fighting smaller or lacklustre fighters...

It's funny, sky refuse Wilder as a PPV replacement... Shame the best he came up with after that was a T-Rex armed, underexposed, multiple knockout victim...

I'm sure that's just to tide us over until he finishes off whatever Haye and Vitali left over for him after battering Chisora.

Damaged goods in a rematch no one wants... Talk about stepping it up.

Fury does not want to fight Chisora, as he has beaten him already but Warren is putting the money up and Fury is taking it. If there was a better offer some where else I am sure he would take it.

He has aligned himself with the biggest cheapskate promoter in the friggin world. He is never going to get a fight for big monry while this happens. If he dumped Hennessy and signed for Hearn his big mouth would be on PPV, but that'd be taking a chance, and he'd rather not do that.
