The dude is 39 years old and has a ton of muscle, strains and injuries are going to happen and anything in the lower body (hamstring, groin etc) is going to linger. Would you rather him lose with an actual injury then be out for a long time (Pacquiao) after giving an underwhelming performance or just have a go when he's 100%

Again, I'm not a Wlad fan but you guys act like it's not possible for a calf to prevent you from fighting. That's absurd!

I think(as I just said in another thread) if this was an isolated thing nobody would question it. Given the luck Fury has had and the fact Wlad has pulled out before, along with this being right after a presser just makes this seem fishy. I think Wlad was going to win this fight easily and I'll buy his injury, but I do wish fighters were held accountable in this situation.
