Why Does Fury Stay Fighting Cans?

[Gabe]

Kind of a head scratcher. He talks a big game yet he’s four fights in to his comeback and has only fought one decent boxer. Beat a no name in Schwarz and is about to fight another no name in Otto. Does he only feel the need to fight a decent boxer on certain occasions?

 

[City_Lights]

Part of it is his promoter and part of it is probably him just not wanting to take any risks before a big money fight.

 

[SSgt Dickweed]

Presumably, he'll get paid more fighting a no-name than most boxers will for an easy night. Why not take it?

 

[Seano]

Top Rank. Why is everyone signed with Top Rank fighting cans?

 

[MMALOPEZ]

Top Rank and Fury going the Crawford and loma route, but they have surpass both with this last 2 cans...

Welcome to boxing....how many non-competitive fights do you think Sugar Ray Robinson had?

Well, you're talking about an era when they fought twice a month, so of course.
These days its more of a cynical ploy to maintain belts or notoriety, whilst cashing in.

Fair point, but I'd hate to see what state a man would be in if he fought the best of the division every 6 months for 15+ years

Wilders been doing it years and he actually has a belt. Rematching a 40 year old you knocked out a year ago is no fckin better tbh. As much as this fight is a joke, fury isn’t a champion. And he’s fought and beaten better guys than pretty much everyone other than Joshua.

I certainly won’t buy the PPV but I’ll save my outrage for when he is a defending champion.
