Can't blame Fury for taken on bottom feeder opponents, if ESPN are giving him a big payday regardless who he faces, why would he face someone who could actually pose a threat?
That said, there really isn't much available at the moment. Whyte just got busted for doping, Wilder, Ruiz and AJ are tied up, Povetkin is fighting Hughie Fury instead (bye bye Hughie) etc.
The only people left is people like Pulev, but I'm pretty sure he's still suspended, plus nobody wants to see him.
Otto is a bum and will get walked through, but it's a decent bout for noobs I guess.
This really shows the lack of fighters at the heavyweight division, how in the world can Tyson Fury get this guy as an adversary? It's not even close, the sport for heavyweights is dying.
I don't think there's a lack of fighters, it's just that the guys on top are very dominant, so there is a limited set of matches that can be huge PPV events. Even tho fans will watch any of the top 4 guys fight a broomstick.
Tyson said he fought Wilder too soon and he should have had more tune up fights. I guess he wants to test around for a while while Anthony gets the rematch and Wilder fights Ortiz. It will be fun seeing if any of the 3 guys lose the matches they are supposed to win.
Yeah maybe you are right, I guess the biggest problem right now with boxing is that it doesn't get enough publicity. The UFC has certainly taken over, they are the ones getting paid the big bucks while boxers are barely known anymore.
Boxing A-listers get paid way more than UFC.
