    If the rematch doesn’t happen, Wilder stated: “We’re doing our own thing, we’re still gonna have that date. Who knows who it’s gonna be?
    “It could be [Dominic] Breazeale, it could be [Adam] Kownacki, it could be [Dillian] Whyte.”

    So it could end up being Wilder and Tyson fighting over Whyte after pretending that Joshua would have to pick up the scraps from their table. Massive own goal really from Fury if he really is about legacy. He could get sparked by a non belt holder and blow his chance of fighting AJ for the belts he walked away from. Same could happen to Wilder. Whyte is more than capable of sparking him clean out.

    None of these guys nowadays are about legacy no matter what they say. the figure being banded around of £80 Million for a 5 fight deal are clearly inflated to add drama! but even a fair proportion of that is enough for any of these top Boxers to not give a flying fuck about their Legacy.
    Fury dines out on this "Lineal" stuff, but let's be honest, an £80 Million deal for someone who isn't even a World Champion is ridiculous at best .
    Kinda can't blame the fighter for taking these crazy deals, we all would wouldn't we?

    Of course, but you can't then pretend it's all about making the fight when you end up scuppering the deal by signing with someone who is in no rush to get it done.

    No I can't blame any fighter for taking such a deal. We'd do the same.

    I think fury needs to be in with the best to bring out the best in him. A Pulev etc match up isn't going to do that for him.

    But I think Joshua is an easier fight for him than wilder and at moment think wilder is the only man who could beat Fury - and I'd still pick Fury to win on points on a rematch, just the chance of a ko if Wilder lands which he knows he can
    Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate

    Fury can't be blamed for taking that deal, why does he need Wilder when AJ is the biggest fight on the planet for everyone? He's obviously thought fuck risking a loss when I can build into a match with AJ down the road.

    He also said Wilder can't rip him off anymore (which is a shame, as that means the charity he donated his last purse to obviously got shafted as well).

    That TBV interview is unbearable, the hosts and majority of callers are always braindead thick but fuck me.
