What a strange UK centric view of things, Hearn's stable when you add matchroom US is unbelievable. He's got 12 current world champions including pound for pounders GGG, Mikey Garcia and Alexander Usyk.
They also have 4 of the top 10 ring magazine heavyweights, Joshua, Parker, Whyte and Hunter...
My point is that when Fury signed the contract with Top Rank, Warren became a minor partner almost just an advisor. Case in point BT even had to bid for Wilder vs Fury 2, they didn't automatically get the fight even thought Warren has a broadcaster deal with BT.
Warren on his own doesn't have...
You can't be serious about Frank Warren, Top Rank and Bob Arum call the shots with Fury which is why all of his recent fights have been in the US. Warren is a minor player now and has lost all of his top level fighters most recently Warrington. Overall his stable now is terrible.
We have 30 plus years of animosity and history with palace, completely different than not supporting a Brit because 'you don't like the way that they are marketed', which sounds a bit pathetic to be honest!
Its jealousy, the British have a strange trait of disliking successful people and particularly sportspeople.
If we can't criticise their sporting achievements then we have a go at their personal lives, as long as we can find a flaw somewhere.
I suppose it makes people feel better about...
When you are the champion and you are packing out stadiums you don't have to travel, you can't criticise him for that. I am sure that Fury would have fought Wilder and Klitschko in the UK if given the chance.
Whatever you say about Ruiz, he is a class above some of the boxers Fury has struggled...
Last night was exceptional but Fury has also had some pretty poor performances over the years, put down in the 2nd round against Steve Cunningham and unconvincing against Wallin and Pianeta! You can never be quite sure what version of Fury is going to turn up!
I have always thought this about Wilder, most protected heavyweight champion in history. He used the talk of fighting AJ to raise his profile and then only took the Fury fight because he saw it as his chance to get a name on his resume, believing that Fury would be washed out after 3 years out...
This narrative of AJ having it easy is complete nonsense. Unless of course you missed him winning Olympic gold, beating 4 of the current top 10 ring magazine heavyweights, getting off the floor to beat Klitschko and avenging the Ruiz defeat when everyone in boxing thought he it was the wrong...
