The wins over Wlad, Wilder and Whyte trump everything AJ has done.
This is the default Fury apologist response. Random waffle followed by an unrelated statement. The only thing that's missing is a dosser, shithouse or bodybuilder insult.
No one is interested in comparing resumes. Everyone was suitably impressed with him beating Wlad in Germany. It doesn't negate the point being made.
He didn't rematch Wlad because he's an idiot and had no idea where he was contractually obligated. He got outsmarted by someone (Duva) who did. He was again contractually obligated to Wilder for the third fight. It was black and white. Rather than do things properly and get their ducks in a row, they ploughed ahead with the Joshua fight knowing that it wasn't a forgone conclusion. It was Fury and Fury alone that took to social media to announce that his good mate Daniel had sorted it. When in fact, I think everyone acknowledges that Eddie was the driving force behind the deal. Even now with Queensbury in the driving seat the internet dullards are hoping Eddie sorts it all out.
Now he's offered a deal to Joshua. Joshua calls his bluff and accepts immediately. Fury shits the bed and throws in this ridiculous 24hr deadline. Once again, despite being bitten twice that we are all well aware of, he's being contractually naïve and wants others to follow suit and simply get the crayons out and sign. He is once again the problem, not Joshua/Eddie.
Joshua tends to stay (publicly) quiet during negotiations. Warren and Eddie have both said that they're working well, having positive meetings and hopeful that the deal can still be made. The Fury fan boys can't or won't do the math at this point and will back their man to the hilt. I guess it's admirable. Fucking stupid but admirable.
There's zero ambiguity here. It was Fury and his team that fucked the Wlad return. It was Fury and his team that fucked the Joshua fight first time around. It's Fury that's fucking the Joshua fight now.
When God said to the both of us "Which one of you wants to be Sugar Ray?" I guess I didnt raise my hand fast enough
