    It's was an ugly negotiaton of each laying blame on the other. I don't believe either ducked the other contrary to what I've said. Ego's in boxing get in the way of fights nowadays and it's a shame.

      The People paid him what something like $300Mil for good reason

      Brits went so crazy filling up Wembley that his compatriot, his ignoble drug suspended Blubber fled to America for the weakest link in the division, Deyonce who made teensie millions fighting short notice journeymen types until Blubber exposed him.

      Now poor Blubber's been exposed, yet gets another payday when he should've crawled away in shame for some cave in Siberia with Deyonce. They a couple ya know...

      Go back to your pod of zombies, then, if you are going to address a man like that.

      Did he set the world on fire? People just thought he would. When expectations are that high and you perform like Anthony against the top flight, it equals disappointment, let's face it, a big letdown. He was not a longtime dominant champion. He could not deal with the top flight of competition. If he has proven anything he has proven that.

      A courtyard of smaller men seem to have had the right sprinkling system for Anthony's fire.The ones who beat him would not beat many ATGs, other than maybe Usyk, as we shall yet see.

      AJ, however, is essentially finished, except in your mind. He can still beat some guys, but too many have his number. He might even be craftily guided to another championship once they are divided again. He has no great professional accomplishments and was an ordinary disappointing champion, but is a very rich man. A well spoken lad who deserves it, but not a great fighter as you pitifully make him out to be.

          - - Deyonce was the fraud making peanuts. AJ rocked boxing back to their $enseS after the shame of Blubber hung over boxing like a rotting whale carcass.

            AJ-Fury goes on a long list of "should of" fights.

            Blame that loss on the scantioning bodies. In a perfect world without 'bodies' that fight gets made.

              I've always hated that about boxing and the ABC orgs. So many fights don't get made nowadays because there is no trinket on the line, even though these fighter could enhance their legacies and make a ton of money anyway.
