At least Fury has got the ability and record to back up what he says. Joshua should be grateful he's been offered such a decent split of the wallet. He's turned into a bit of an embarrassment.
Me too. That could be an interesting fight. I don't think Usyk could hurt Fury, but he's qo quick and throws so many punches, that if it went to points it'd be interesting.
I'd imagine Fury will, eventually, fight both of them, having retired another eleven or twelve times in the meantime.

I've just read about the death of Ernie Shavers a couple of weeks ago. If you haven't heard of him, he was perhaps the hardest-hitting heavyweight of all time and equally perhaps the best never to win a world title.

He fought some very good opponents: Bugner, Holmes, Norton, Ali, Lyle.
Steve Bunce wrote a great piece about him and his generation of heavyweights in last week's Boxing News. Sharing your peak years with Ali, Frazier, Foreman and Holmes is the definition of unlucky.
Why is Parker v Joyce on pay per view, one is ranked 7th in the world and the other 8th, it's a joke, not to mention, we are going through one of the most difficult times witnessed since the war, but I doubt, whether the powers that be are aware of that.

Heavyweights bring out the casual fan.
