    You're right - three great heavies with completely different styles.

    And each one a 50-50 with anyone being able to beat the other on their day.

    They could make a fortune just having a home and away round robin series over the next two years - and wouldn't we love to see it ?
    Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate

    And the time is absolutely right too!!! But promoters and managers and the fighters themselves even will end up cocking it up for everyone else.


    I mean I'm not going to immediately say that any of the three are automatically All-Time Greats or anything, I just think 1. styles make fights 2. they've all won all their fights up to this point YET all of them are questioned about their resumes so the only way to fix that is to fight each other.


    It's SIMILAR to where the division was with Ali-Frazier-Foreman, but these guys ain't Ali-Frazier-Foreman they deserve their own space to show the fans who they are as fighters.

    Bowe v Lennox never happened which was a shame hope we get AJ to fight one of them soon.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    You could make an absolute DREAM card of the fights we never got to see. These guys have an opportunity to....


    Make
    Boxing
    Great
    Again





    Now, I personally, I'm not a fan of any of the guys individually, but as a fan of the sport, make the fucking big fights everyone wants to see it's THE A#1 problem in the sport today along with shitty judging.

    Big shift in that Deontay holds all the cards. The fight sold well 17,000 tickets, 5 million plus gate, 300+ to near 400k PPV sales. Knowing fighters first PPV fight isn’t their strongest, the action in the fight will bring better sales. He could fight either and it would make bank. The same could be said for AJ or Tyson except without Deontay the lose the US money.

    AJ is suddenly the one most in need of them 2 as they proved willing to fight by fighting.

    For Deontay the smart move would be to cash out with AJ, the bold move would be to rematch Fury if he believes he can win. If he were to beat Fury in a rematch he makes huge money with that and huge money against AJ.

    I really don't think joshua is in need of anyone, he's the English alvarez, as in he can sell tickets v any mug... he's got the most belts too.. Joshua is in a very good position unless he performs a self destructive bungle.

    Id like to see fury v joshua, as I now think joshua would ealk through him pretty easily, and also big baby v wilder, big baby would stop wilder I think, then you get miller v joshua for all the belts...

    Voted AJ vs Fury. But I'm happy with any combination really.

    Joshua vs. Wilder is the fight I most want to see.

    But Wilder's handlers are scared to death of Joshua, so I doubt it ever happens.

    These two would make for a good matchup:
