I read recently that ultra corrupt caretaker of the WBC, Mauricio Suliaman, has opened the door for Tyson Fury to jump the line up, again, for a world title shot if he decides to unretire, again.
Now, Fury, at the moment, is in a bit of a tough spot. He loves money, and he particularly likes earning it against easy opponents. Wilder, as we now know, was a protected and hyped fighter who got exposed as soon as he came up against decent opponents. It wasn't age that beat him, it was simply the fact that he is just no good. Fury, for his part, also got hyped after beating the likes of Sefer Seferi, Nemanja Pajkic (who dropped him), Tom Schwartz, Otto Wallin (who battered him) and John McDermott (who actually got robbed against TF). Then there's the debacle of getting a gift decision against that MMA guy, and Chisora X 2 when there were deserving opponents wanting their shot. So why is he in a tough spot? Because if and when he unretires, again again, the fight that is being mooted is versus AJ, whom Fury wants no part of. Enter Suliaman right on cue. Now the big fella has hs excuse to duck AJ, again.
After winning his dancefest against Wlad (credit for that) he has cunningly avoided all the better contenders, whilst somehow fooling people into mentioning him in the same breath as the likes of Foreman, Holmes and Ali. He's a con man but he's a good one. Getting massive props for beating Wilder a couple of times, when Wilder himself was pure hype and does not have one single elite name in his win column - this somehow elevating the big fraud to some kind of HOF status - it's crazy and when you stop and look at his ridiculously thin resume, and the decisions he got against McDermott, Wallin and Ngannou, that so many still think he is a top hw, in historical terms.
If he'd have taken on Parker, Dubois, Ruiz, AJ and any other top challengers, he would be a footnote in this era. But he has been cleverly managed, in collusion with the WBC, and as fans we simply don't get the actual fights that we deserve and ought to see.
Instead we are told that he is a great, and he is advertised as top billing and we are to appreciate him.
I'd appreciate him if he just disappeared. Anyone who can't see him for what he is - a big lad with a few attributes and a carefully navigated career - needs new eyes. He's been bad for boxing, as has Mr. WBC Swiss Bank Account himself.
