That's what rules and regulations are for.
As far as I know, Floyd never stacked the deck in a manner which made it obvious he was scared of the opponent, playing to strengths and weaknesses. Wlad has been worried since Day One..... and I'm hoping he gets "Sanders-ed" into tomorrow.
Are you telling me Floyd never dictated which gloves would be used ever? Do you believe Wlad and his team said "we'll use these gloves cos his thumbs won't fit in them? Come on.
To the credit of Team Fury , they never made a big deal about the Gloves.
As for the ring, have Ali and Floyd never dictated the size of the ring, and others for that matter? Again, they're within a pound of each other weight wise, do you think Wlad said "let's have a bouncy castle ring cos that'll fuck him up, it might fuck me up , but I'll take the risk?"
I hope Fury doesn't believe Wlad is scared, because if he does, he is in a World of trouble. Wlad has that fucking lunatic Shannon Briggs chase him round the World and nearly run him over in a speedboat on a lake (hilarious btw), and he's scared of Batman?
Ward never fights outside Oakland, Ali used to piss opponents about, Floyd notoriously did, right or wrong , as Bruce Hornsby and the range famously said "it's just the way it is"
