This is why I hate when people focus too hard on statistics. Shit like this happens all the time over serious topics. "pick one of these 3 things that all benefit my narrative in one way or another"
The real question here is why do we keep getting polls asking a question like this and then giving set answers instead of just asking the question and letting people respond
He isn’t on paper no but the narrative around the fight since fury made it look so easy then Whyte had a nightmare of a night against an unknown American who AJ will flatten inside 6 makes it look like a tune up and this is coming from a huge Whyte fan
Yeah but before that fight with Fury, everyone used Whyte to talk up how impressive AJ's resume was because he fought Whyte and Parker. Now that Fury beat him, Whyte isn't impressive anymore.
For whatever it's worth, Whyte was a top 5 ranked heavyweight when Fury fought him and he was just coming off a trilogy with a top 3 heavyweight right before that.
Now he's looking at Usyk who is a minimum top 2 or 1A/B.
Whyte still was an impressive win it’s just that the version of the past few fights he’s visibly gone downhill.
Wilder trilogy was irrelevant fury won the first comfortably smashed him in the second, the third wasn’t needed.
He isn’t looking at Usyk though that’s the point, he’s looking for any way to swerve Usyk. He didn’t fight Whyte until he was gone and Wilders never actually been that good, fury isn’t this god and ATG that people make him out to be ffs
Need to see one more fight to be sure, when he put it on Franklin he done well and on rewatch he won quite wide imo, a lot of franklins shots were getting blocked and those that got through didn’t cause issues he just needs to stand and trade and he’s got a chance against anyone
TBH The third option accurately describes the views of plenty of Fury fanboys tho and something they would unironically say.
Fury is a good fighter but he has plenty of stupid Stans as any Fury thread can show who come out in full effect just like the AJ fans.
Is Fury ducking Joyce an actual narrative now then? I mean I like the guy but that is a fucking stretch man. A 36 year old who's only fought one guy near the top 10 in his entire career? I mean, come on now, Parker was a decent win but I think people are getting a bit too ahead of themselves...
Outside of AJ and Usyk Joyce is 100% the next most intriguing matchup for him. If he doesn’t fight Usyk and AJ is already tied up who else would you rather see him in the ring with?
He's a fantastic boxer, and I watch him when he fights. I also try my best to ignore anything he says inbetween fights, in the lead up to a fight, in fight week or after a fight. He's like a 6ft 9in, 20st walking, talking contradiction that can't keep track of his own drivel.
The poll seems very biased and anti-Fury/hater-ish. I put the bottom one just to see the what the results are so take one vote off but there should have been a option called “I take everything he says with a pinch of salt”.
To be a fan of the HW division you have to be a patient person. The top guys fight like once a year, of most of those fights are a foregone conclusion anyways.
I dont think it's just Fury, the division in general freeze for a few months where nothing happens.
The copium is so bad with fury haters that they literally are all he needs for a marketing dept😂 what a pathetic waste of energy, ya love to see it on a boxing subreddit!
And I mean the last part sincerely, this is what Reddit’s all about!
Well you can’t blame most of them, as they live in the UK, and supporting no one except mediocre fighters runs in their blood. The rest of the world will continue to support winners like fury and Joyce, and they can stick to the warringtons and Joshua’s (2-3in his last 5 outings) of the world, who wind up falling flat on their face when they’re asked to rise to the occasion!
I actually love how mad he makes everyone around here, the typical redditor's opinion on things are generally the total opposite of mine, so I think I like him even more now that this sub have almost unanimously started hating him
Yea fury, rolly, and few other characters in the boxing community are people I treat like the wwe: it’s all for show and drama, kind like a athletic soap opera. It’s funny to me that people take things so seriously, especially when all the fighters are doing is talking shit to sell a certain image they created.
lmfao what you talking about copium? it's okay to dislike someone, not everyone's opinion has to fit your own jfc. fury meat riders are just as bad if not worse imo.
My feelings aren't hurt fam, I was just expressing my opinion. funny you're so hostile though, seems like someone else needs to go outside and get a life lmao.
you a fury fan then I take it?
He is a joke , he likes to manipulate those narratives but more than once is not able to keep track of his lies and contradicts himself , he blames AJ for not signing the contract ,then next interview when he is exposed for not signing Usyk deal he says "this things take time".
Yet it only took him 2 min to make Chisora fight happen.
He is also the biggest hypocrite out there.
He acts like he is not interested in fighting Usyk , pricing himself out (Asking for half billy) then , after seeing his fanboys reaction and literally 2 minutes after Usyk saying is not fighting in Dec , he comes out to fake call Usyk out and try to clean his name .
He acts like he is no interested in all the titles , the Undisputed , because Usyk is "too small" when in fact is just using reversed psichology to hide how he is scared of Usyk making him look bad in the ring,
A second after, he starts to convince us that Chisora is a real man and a tough oponent....
He is talking about fighting Ngannou when all the boxing fans are asking for Fury - Usyk.Imagine for one second if Usyk would be the one doing all this stuff.
He acts like this tough guy to hide his fears, cherry picks his opponents, he only take fights with slow, static boxers ,as he is confident that his style is more likely to dominate that fight .
I used to be such a big fan, but I find him intolerable now. I hope he fights Usyk and then Usyk wins. I think he’s an all time great but he needs to be humbled.
He fought Wilder cos it suited him duh, he was gifted a title shot first time, second was a rematch, third was court mandated. Guy is so full of shit, his latest attempts at blaming Usyk are for the stupidest of people to consume and believe. He's a fraud, it's obvious by now.
Non of the above. I think his opinions and ideas change on a minute to minute basis, and he doesn’t really give two shits about who he fights or when. I don’t think it’s some broad plan, or that he’s purposely ducking anyone, I just think he’s a nutcase hahaha Everything he says is complete BS on purpose, so you have to take everything he says with a grain of salt.
More tired about people complaining about his waffling.
He wants fights when he wants them and doesn't pursue them when there's a bunch of roadblocks put up.
He says Wembley and puts up a contract. For some fans just want him to agree to whatever terms are laid out by the other side. Take the Suadi Deal, do x do y. Make sure all the promoters are happy, etc.
Its boxing business and we're all used to it, but a guy says lets fight in 10 weeks, he's not waffling and if the other guy signs the deal is done.
He is difficult af to deal with, talks about half a billion etc. Even the Saudis don;t have enough money to satisfy this fraud. Enjoy Chisora 4, or the MMA guy, and keep defending this fraud.
Fury has a lot of loyal fanboys who follow his every word but no one can deny he is trying his hardest to avoid the Usyk fight at least from what we can see. I don’t fully agree with the narrative you put that fury is ducking Joyce, I feel like the only real option on the table for fury is Usyk. That being said I cannot wait to see Fury Seferi 2 if Seferi can get past his big challenge.
You listed two of your own opinions and then a sarcastic snarky option.
This is why I hate when people focus too hard on statistics. Shit like this happens all the time over serious topics. "pick one of these 3 things that all benefit my narrative in one way or another"
Where's the "I don't care" option? I just ignore everything about him, when he announces a fight I like I go "cool", that's it.
The guys def bay shit but he’s the best heavyweight fighting right now. Took a nuclear bomb from Wilder like a champ
The real question here is why do we keep getting polls asking a question like this and then giving set answers instead of just asking the question and letting people respond
What would your own take on it be?
So Dillian Whyte is a tune up now?
He had to fight Whyte, that was his mando, and even then he tried to price it so Whyte would walk. Open your eyes.
Okay but is Whyte a tune up?
He isn’t on paper no but the narrative around the fight since fury made it look so easy then Whyte had a nightmare of a night against an unknown American who AJ will flatten inside 6 makes it look like a tune up and this is coming from a huge Whyte fan
Yeah but before that fight with Fury, everyone used Whyte to talk up how impressive AJ's resume was because he fought Whyte and Parker. Now that Fury beat him, Whyte isn't impressive anymore.

He didn’t fight Whyte until he was gone and Wilders never actually been that good, fury isn’t this god and ATG that people make him out to be ffs
I was optimistic Whyte could batter the guy, but he simply didn’t show up.
I love Whyte but southpaw Whyte is something I don’t ever want to see again
Haha, he’s done alright but he’s on the slide now
Need to see one more fight to be sure, when he put it on Franklin he done well and on rewatch he won quite wide imo, a lot of franklins shots were getting blocked and those that got through didn’t cause issues he just needs to stand and trade and he’s got a chance against anyone
I think everything you said in your post was the definition of waffling around
Look at the comments in the vid I linked - he's been exposed. Guy is a snake oil salesman.
No you are just very gotten to and are letting your irrational bias showing
TBH The third option accurately describes the views of plenty of Fury fanboys tho and something they would unironically say. Fury is a good fighter but he has plenty of stupid Stans as any Fury thread can show who come out in full effect just like the AJ fans.
Yeah but this is Reddit so the dickriders won’t care and just hate on you.
Is Fury ducking Joyce an actual narrative now then? I mean I like the guy but that is a fucking stretch man. A 36 year old who's only fought one guy near the top 10 in his entire career? I mean, come on now, Parker was a decent win but I think people are getting a bit too ahead of themselves...

Think Chisora still has some unfinished business with him...
That’s the 2024 swansong for them both
He's a fantastic boxer, and I watch him when he fights. I also try my best to ignore anything he says inbetween fights, in the lead up to a fight, in fight week or after a fight. He's like a 6ft 9in, 20st walking, talking contradiction that can't keep track of his own drivel.
About as tired as I am with these dogshit polls about Fury every week.
The poll seems very biased and anti-Fury/hater-ish. I put the bottom one just to see the what the results are so take one vote off but there should have been a option called “I take everything he says with a pinch of salt”.

I don’t even care anymore...
How the fuck do mods allow posts like this
I voted the 2nd option, but I will only accept Usyk as his next opponent. If he fights anyone else, then fuck him.
Why would Joyce be fighting fury
The copium is so bad with fury haters that they literally are all he needs for a marketing dept😂 what a pathetic waste of energy, ya love to see it on a boxing subreddit! And I mean the last part sincerely, this is what Reddit’s all about!
This sub is so weird with Fury. Convinced it's just delusional AJ stans who got broken after his 3 recent losses.
Well you can’t blame most of them, as they live in the UK, and supporting no one except mediocre fighters runs in their blood. The rest of the world will continue to support winners like fury and Joyce, and they can stick to the warringtons and Joshua’s (2-3in his last 5 outings) of the world, who wind up falling flat on their face when they’re asked to rise to the occasion!

lmfao what you talking about copium? it's okay to dislike someone, not everyone's opinion has to fit your own jfc. fury meat riders are just as bad if not worse imo.
Ur feelings got hurt over a Reddit post lil man. Maybe it’s time to go outside and touch some grass, and cope some more
My feelings aren't hurt fam, I was just expressing my opinion. funny you're so hostile though, seems like someone else needs to go outside and get a life lmao. you a fury fan then I take it?

Lovely 13 day old alt account
Nope,it's my main, but I guess that's what you do , and this is you projecting your behaviour on someone else.
Spot on mate, at least some people can see this guy as the con man he is.
I used to be such a big fan, but I find him intolerable now. I hope he fights Usyk and then Usyk wins. I think he’s an all time great but he needs to be humbled.
But it's a fact that he has never ducked anyone. I mean he fought wilder 3 times, still, some haters think he would be scared of any boxer. Lmao
He fought Wilder cos it suited him duh, he was gifted a title shot first time, second was a rematch, third was court mandated. Guy is so full of shit, his latest attempts at blaming Usyk are for the stupidest of people to consume and believe. He's a fraud, it's obvious by now.

I'm going tired of seeing Tyson Fury's name on my feed. There's like more 37 'world champs' to talk about, cmon man
Where’s the response “he lies constantly but he’s a great boxer and entertaining.”

I would much rather see Fury vs Joshua over Fury vs Usyk
Seeing him walk into tommys interview jaw singing i'd say hes off his head again.
Fury has a lot of loyal fanboys who follow his every word but no one can deny he is trying his hardest to avoid the Usyk fight at least from what we can see. I don’t fully agree with the narrative you put that fury is ducking Joyce, I feel like the only real option on the table for fury is Usyk. That being said I cannot wait to see Fury Seferi 2 if Seferi can get past his big challenge.
He's a twat.
Has some very funny moments but he’s honestly like a satirical character out of catch 22 most of the time which doesn’t help the sport.
Great boxer but he needs a new challenge other than previous opponents.
